I seem to remember some study that seemed to indicate that conservatives tend to have a hard time understanding satire. It was around the same time as The Colbert Report being on the air.
You couple this with seeing that cons tend to have overly large/overly active amygdalas, and when you hear them saying that “liberalism is a mental disorder”, I think it’s yet another example of them projecting, since they seem to have certain mental disabilities.
We all have shadows that elude us that others see clearly. I seriously believe modern psychology should integrate that work more into standard CBT/RET.
