When We Werent Looking's avatar

Interesting...My college-age son says that one reason people like the Republigcan message is because it is more positive (We're great, we're the best, we're gonna be greater) while the Democrat message is negative (We have a lot of problems we need to fix, fix, fix).

Good point. One side with its head in the ground as the stampede approaches denying the oncoming charge; the other shouting "look out!" but is perceived as "negative." I wonder how the deniers run their homes, families, businesses?

Just loaded the dryer and wondered if BOTH sides want to "fix" things but they want to fix very different things. And each side considers the other side "negative." Laundry thoughts. 😊

Right, they are more positive about our own country and more negative about everyone else. On the other hand they always seem to be in critique mode, never in a "that's good" kind of mood.

The Republicans I know who are financially stable (and white Christians) are strongly military and executives. They don't know any life other than "I give orders. I follow nobody. I've been trained to do this." I fear there is now way to reach these types. And they personify the happiest people on earth.
