Why are you a conservative?
Or a libertarian, Republican, Democrat, socialist?
Ok, if you read my column, you’re probably not a socialist ...
But how do people come to such different conclusions? We like to think that our politics are formed by rational analysis. We analyze what conservatives and liberals write, weigh their ideas, and form conclusions based on facts and evidence.
But it turns out something else is probably going on. I can predict your political party pretty accurately if I just know what you do for a living.
