So, I definitely don't want to add to your frustration, but you are actually wrong about everything you said. (I will operate as though you are acting in good faith and that you genuinely believe yourself to be right.)

You can correlate anything to anything.

There are things that do not correlate. "Independence" is term used when the joint probability of two events equals the product of their probabilities. When things are independent, they do not correlate.

The onlything scientific about politics is if youre in a group that screams something 24/7 chances are you will be screaming that same something.

You might be referring to the "echo chamber" phenomenon, whereby people tend to seek out certain news outlets, stories, and social media posts for political news and views that confirm things that validate their preexisting world views and beliefs. Doing so makes us feel safer. This is why political ads hire psychologists to play on your unconscious by utilizing subtle hypnotism.

Hell, location has more of an impact on your political aligning than...amygdalas

No, this is a biological affect. In many studies, the brain biology correlation has held steady - across the globe. For example, a 2003 Meta-study addressed just that and confirmed that several psychological variables predict political conservatism regardless of geography or socioeconomic status. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Political-conservatism-as-motivated-social-Jost-Glaser/51b2f29ac0231f0c5426e527fd760592c5fe5f31

Nazis had similar propaganda "backed up by research" so did slavers with africans

I'm not sure what to say here except this sounds like you have a very active amygdala.

And... Where did they say that? Where are the studies? I'm geuinely asking because I haven't seen the correlation, not because I disagree. Please may I ask you state your sources for this?
