https://phys.org/news/2019-08-chance-ideology-political-polarization.html What this article doesn't talk about, is how 40 years of extensive studies concluded the republican party organizes along the lines of a flock of chickens. Hence, their opinions can be easily swayed if they have not yet formed an opinion, and outrageously difficult to change once they have collectively formed an opinion. The most interesting thing about this article is not that their ideologies are just made up bullshit, but that it is possible to inspire the idiots to march right off the nearest cliff, by merely confusing them. Already some of their collective behavior is roughly as predictable as Newtonian mechanics, and the computers are about to spit out all the juicy details for how to sucker the whole lot, republicans and democrats alike, and predict their behavior with at least the accuracy of modern day weather forecasts and the changing seasons. The same applies to democrats and republicans alike, because in twenty years they've all been voting for whoever advertises the most and don't really make those kinds of subtle distinctions, despite all their rhetoric and denials.
