Basically, to make it really simple. On the right you have some people who support gay marriage and some people who do not. Meanwhile on the left you mostly have people who support gay marriage. It’s basically just that for a number of issues

Like for the specific issues they asked about, yes there is more ideological diversity on the right. But that’s not a good thing in this instance. If the question is about whether the earth is round, you want consistency. People being a mix of round and flat earthers instead of just round earthers isn’t a good sign.

a "diversity of thought" is a misleading way to describe anti intellectualism that allows you to believe the earth is 6000 years old, the moon is flat, vaccines are just microchips, tariffs tax the other country somehow. like an insane asylum has a diversity of thought. someone is going through a rough time and somehow got put there, another person has never been attached to reality, living in a made up world

the right is much more ideologically fractured, they’re just better at coalition-building

like im sure youve seen the "moral circles heatmap" (i cant get the picture you'd have seen), which gets misinterpreted as liberals care more about stars and trees than their own family, while conservatives actually care about their family and sometimes their community (the farther the red from the center of the circle, the farther from the self they care about)

but the reality is, the heatmap is inclusive. saying you care about your family isn't inclusive of your community, but having said you care about your community, or trees, or the stars DOES include your family. the result of the study was pronounced as liberals care about silly things, but the real result was... alarmingly that conservatives only cared about the people in their immediate proximity. community, country, environment, all to hell to them

Does the direction that the graph is pointing matter in any way?

not that im aware of, its just a way to depict circles of care but in a linear perspective i guess. both heatmaps go the same direction so i cant imagine any importance of that
