Pretty elementary stuff but worth a thread: Feeling safe and endowed with strength might make you lean a little more liberal than you otherwise would... "Brain scans show that people who self-identify as conservative have larger and more active right amygdalas, an area of the brain that's associated with expressing and processing fear." https://www.businessinsider.com/psy...sGrvTZqL8EM8UEzUSqyFdmCTT9Vfj7HpvjU0ZHP-svSv4
Without any study, this seems reasonable to me. Conservatism is about not rocking the boat, not making change, not accepting new populations, not changing the rules, especially if the reasons for doing so aren't serious. These all do seem to correlate with concern that anything new could well be worse - especially since we're America.
