A fascinating piece on a recent BBC science hour podcast described a study on why people vote the way they do. The result was unsurprising to anyone with an understanding of human biology. Social approval by a peer group is more important than evidence for most voters. If someone one's church all votes MAGA, that person is more likely to vote with them. We are highly tribal social animals, and what our tribe does is very important to many of us.
