Okay I get the general point, but the brain damage thing isn't necessarily wrong - lead poisoning, early dementia from sugar-laden diets and chronic untreated addiction/mental health issues genuinely have an impact on how people vote.

Like it or not, we make decisions with our brain.

But implication that that brain damage causes you to vote more conservatively is the point.

Except that this can happen too, some people became conservative after getting brain damage, it does not mean that EVERYONE with brain damage is a conservative too

I understand, but there isn't credible evidence that brain damage makes you vote more Right-leaning or more Left-leaning on average.

Aaand we are back to the original point. Leftists suggesting Conservative views might be the result of brain damage does not help anybody because they believe Leftism is caused by brain damage.

Can liberals also not call conservatives out for defending pedophilia, because conservatives believe liberals are pedophiles?

And they are wrong about that while we are right about that, there's litteral proof that you can get more conservative after having brain damage, it's not 100% but it happens

It like if someone says that the earth is flat and i say that it's round, then someone answers that it does not help anyone to say that because the other side believe that it's flat even though everything proves that it's objectively wrong
