At first glance, issues like economic inequality, healthcare, climate change, and abortion seem unrelated. However, when thinking and talking about them, people reliably fall into two camps: conservative and liberal. What explains this divide? Why do conservatives and liberals hold the positions they do? And what is the conceptual nature of those who decide elections, commonly called the "political middle"? The answers are profound. They have to do with how our minds and brains work. Political attitudes are the product of what cognitive scientists call Embodied Cognition - the grounding of abstract thought in everyday world experience. Clashing beliefs about how to run nations largely arise from conflicting beliefs about family life: conservatives endorse a strict father and liberals a nurturant parent model. So-called "middle" voters are not in the middle at all. They are morally biconceptual, divided between both models, and as a result highly susceptible to moral political persu.

But I have issues. The first is that objective truth cannot be communicated. As someone with a longstanding study of science, thats an issue. Especially when I am cure learning from several groups who specialize in Science Communication.
Second, the chapter on religious language included mainline Christianity. And only that. Considering the religious diversity in America that's problematic.
And thirdly the book adopts a two party system. Two ways to think - that's it! It's not true in politics, and it's not true here.
This being said, the book REALLY DOES go into the cognitive language of our current political cycle. Though, oddly, I think his ”progressive” is more ”neo-liberal”.
But that's another topic. ( )
