In a series of three studies with more than 300 participants, the authors found that people who identify as conservative perform better on tests of self-control than those who identify as liberal regardless of race, socioeconomic status and gender.

Self control is what liberals lack. It includes their nonstop complaining and anger.

True.
As well as self discipline.
Narcissism.
Along with a strong drive to reject any consequence tied to any action.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Funny this thread pops up. Two weeks ago I changed my eating habits and started working out. Already dropped 12 lbs.

I believe the study especially when it comes to impulse control. Just look at the last few days. We went from a maniac murdering innocent people to:

1. Banning a flag
2. Banning anything which may have to do with that flag
3. Destroying or removing statues
4. Changing names of schools
5. Digging up a general who's been dead for over a century


There are reasons liberals on DU drop like flies from everything ranging from poor health to suicide. Maybe someone who has been on here longer can correct me, but so far I have yet to see one of them pass from old age or a tragic accident.
