Technically we all may possess this, with some topic, somewhere in our lives

Conservatives just picked a bunch that fucking suck for others lol.

Like, I hate mayo. I bet someone really skilled could change my mind, but I'm not gonna fucking try. Fuck Mayo

With the difference being that you don't go around bullying people who do eat mayo, and you don't try to ban people from eating mayo.

Or well, actually, maybe you do, I wouldn't know.

Maybe I could like make a religion out of it and get mayo banned from public places...hey.. wait

I agree, but I think it's more than just not liking something. There's an active component to it, like if through your hatred of mayo you were trying to ban its use on sandwiches and in sauces.

Can't wake up... that would be Woke.

They kept telling people to wake up... so people finally started to... now that's a threat to their existence.

conservatives on average have a higher disgust response and think themselves more exceptional than others.

I would say they do this more than non-conservatives because they are motivated by disgust rather than ideals or empathy.
