One could suggest that we should track which side has more autistic people on it, because they are less susceptible to social pressure which underlies many of this for the simple reason they can't read it as well.

Naturally, this is also a biased idea :D

I'm troubled! I'm more troubled intellectually than in any other way actually. I feel the Other Side are not like me, and I find them often vaguely gross and threatening even and DISTASTEFUL. But I entertain quite a strong suspicion that their beliefs and values are for the most as valid as mine. And it's not at all impossible that they're at least partially kinda more FACTUALLY true. And the same was true when I was in a very different part of the political spectrum in a different geographical place 30 years ago.
