I'm glad you said this, because science is showing that the hook is stronger in some than others. In fact, conservationism is correlated to a fear response gene. Early data is showing that there is in fact, a conservative gene, and that gene is directly tied to how we respond to fear and bad news. :)

In other words, images of fear/loss affect a conservative's emotions more strongly than someone that is more left. This is why messages of "they are going to take your jobs" resonates more strongly with conservatives.

On the other side of that coin. People that lean left tend to be more emotionally affect by messages of hope and optimism. Hence why Obama's "yes we can" slogan or Biden's "It's time to heal" were so effective.

Again, there are genes correlated with this stuff. 8) Or more precisely, there are now suspicions that there are genes correlated with this stuff. The research is still very early.

Well okay Mr not afraid of anything.

I am just waiting our Trump supporters to come back being like "German bombing of Pearl Harbour was not the end of the WAR !!"

Let's be clear, I didn't give much crap about the stock market under trump, I certainly don't give much crap about it now that biden is in office. It was a fake measure of success (and therefore also failure) given that it does not necessarily track with our economy. Cannot possible be making the argument that the economy is 50% healthier today than it was last march. Why is this so hard to get across?

I misread the number, LOL.


That the stock market is up despite Covid is an effing miracle. Once we get out of Covid it should be great assuming the left wing does not get a hold of Biden.

My kids work from home and they have more work than ever. They earned more last year than in previous years. It is a crazy world! The ones hurting are in the food service industry. America is a resilient country!

Let it be shown that you jumped to conclusions that fit your narrative. Next time you try to claim you are not a Trump fanboy, remember this instance.

Tovarish:

You and your comrades or like you say back home compañeros assume that anyone that is not to the left of your idols El Ché Guevara and Fidel must be a Trumper. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am no conservative: I am pro-choice, favor Medicare for all, fully accept the LGBTQIA++, and endorse free college for those that pass the entrance exam. However, I believe in capitalism and despise socialism and group ID politics.

Carry on!

Where are you @blackjack21, @Hindsite @Wulfschilde @Oxymoron @Igor Antunov and others? Time to admit you backed a losing nag.


I backed a losing nag in 2016? Huh? I didn't support trump in 2020, I said he was a disgraced charlatan and could give no confident prediction for the election. Biden is yet another terrible thing to happen to the US. I'm not complaining.

Compañero:
I never agreed with El Ché, but I admire the fact that he was the real deal and not a BS left winger. I do not have time to go back and search the forum. I take your word for that.

I am, I agree trump is either a charlatan or a bitch. Pick one. I tend toward a little bit of both. My cartoon is far funnier though.

Now if Biden doesn't start a direct invasion/war I will be surprised. He does employ the Clinton foreign policy playbook. Let's play bingo. Is Iran next? Or maybe an African or Peninsular country this time. Ethiopia? Yemen? Hmmm. Or maybe he gets real ambition and goes for south east asia. One of China's allies? Laos? Cambodia? Closer to home, central america? South america? And there's always the possibility he sparks one at home.

Apparently there is mass hysteria and panic among the QAnon crowd. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maybe I shouldn't laugh at these people. They must have mental disorders.

Time to make false accusations, check.
Time to search for the evidence of your claims, no.
Got it.

This is far less entertaining than 2016-2017 when thousands of never-trumpers were out in the streets self flagellating. Conservatives are a huge disappointment. It was just MIGA with Trump, and now its MIGA again. Biden has his cabinet loaded with chosen people. Over 30% I believe, a new record. That would be like if around 7-8 of the 25 politburo seats in China were being held by Europeans. Suspicious indeed.

Man, I usually do not salt wounds but your tears are really, really enjoyable. You claim to be disappointed but Democrats did not whine and shout and cry as much as your side or your favourites. So reading this comment is like a cherry on top for an unbiased observer at how badly the Democrats have won and how much it hurts.
