Flinchers

According to a new study, reported in Science magazine, there's a correlation between a person's reaction to sudden loud noises and startling images and that person's political inclinations. Specifically, people who have strong reactions to shocking images or sounds tend to be more conservative, while people who are less sensitive to these stimuli tend to be more liberal.

So, I guess the proper response to this news would be to start referring to conservatives as flinchers.
