Just a low effort thinker, doesn't want to put any effort into the necessary thought, so of couse he's oriented to the low end of conservatism:
http://psp.sagepub.com/content/38/6/808.short Low-Effort Thought Promotes Political Conservatism Scott Eidelman, Christian S. Crandall, Jeffrey A. Goodman and John C. Blanchar Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin June 2012 vol. 38 no. 6 808-820 The authors test the hypothesis that low-effort thought promotes political conservatism. In Study 1, alcohol intoxication was measured among bar patrons; as blood alcohol level increased, so did political conservatism (controlling for sex, education, and political identification). In Study 2, participants under cognitive load reported more conservative attitudes than their no-load counterparts. In Study 3, time pressure increased participantsÂ’ endorsement of conservative terms. In Study 4, participants considering political terms in a cursory manner endorsed conservative terms more than those asked to cogitate; an indicator of effortful thought (recognition memory) partially mediated the relationship between processing effort and conservatism. Together these data suggest that political conservatism may be a process consequence of low-effort thought; when effortful, deliberate thought is disengaged, endorsement of conservative ideology increases. --------- So you become more conservative the drunker you get (explains the frat boys in college). If you're working under a lot of pressure, you become more conservative. Any situation that discourages you from effortful thinking encourages conservatism. Just goes to show that old bumper sticker is right, Vote Republican, Its Easier Than Thinking.
