Why are we using the framing of right wing weirdos on a study that doesn't make such claim?
This was mapping the responses to 8 questions: Should abortion be illegal? Should the government take steps to make incomes more equal? Should all unauthorized immigrants be sent back to their home country? Should the federal budget for welfare programs be increased? Should lesbian, gay, and trans couples be allowed to legally marry? Should the government regulate business to protect the environment? Should the federal government make it more difficult to buy a gun? Should the federal government make a concerted effort to improve social and economic conditions for African Americans?
This is just an indication on responses to these questions and nothing else. *the claim "the right has more diversity of thought than the left" isn't even asserted by the study itself*
If I asked 1000 people a question on "should slavery come back" and group A all said no and group B had a wide range of Yes, No and Maybe, I wouldn't frame the results as "Group B has more diversity of thought" unless I obviously had some agenda behind it because that's not the conclusion nor what the people who wrote the study even said.

Thanks. This looks like a particular set of questions that is pretty selective. Hmm, that implies we probably could find a set of questions that would show a different or reverted result. Something where more diversity of viewpoints exists on the left than the right. As we talk about the US, I have some off the top of my head:
- Does god exist? (Would look different in europe, but in the US the belief in god dominates, so the right should be pretty uniform and the left differing. Exactly the opposite in europe, there should be plenty of atheists on the right.)
- Should the US military solve conflicts worldwide?
- Should the US abolish capitalism?
- Should the US support Israel?
I have a strong feeling with these questions we would get a different result than the ones you listed.
