63% Liberal, 37% conservative.
Conservatives seem to find a lot of things disgusting, like gay people, Muslims etc.
That was not what I found disgusting. I don't like roaches, mice, maggots, severed hands and the like. *shrug*
Cockroaches aren't disgusting, they're annoying.
I got woken up by a horny cockroach chasing another cockroach through my curtains at 2am, making a massive load of noise.
If I hear a cockroach I have to catch it, same as with mosquitoes, it's not disgust, it's annoyance at the thing.
I see things for what they are (both politically and emotionally), an insect is just that. The danger to me is what it is, cockroaches aren't dangerous, mostly they might say you're a bit of a dirty person, but then again it might just mean it's warm outside and they like being where you are.
But on the political scale, conservatives are generally more likely to take the emotional side. "Uhhhh a cockroach, I can't live like this" "Uhhhh a gay person, I can't live like this", rather than seeing the realistic view of what is out there, that a cockroach doesn't cause you any harm, nor a gay person.
It's interesting to relate the two, it makes sense to me now I've heard it and might make me change how I interact with conservatives on this board.
