re: Why are folks on the left more prone to protest than those on the right?

1) More time on their hands
2) Most don't have jobs, and this is now their job
3) Childish responses when they don't get their way
4) They know even if they violently attack their enemy, they will be hailed as heroes by the MSM, and will not be arrested by their ilk that run the cities they destroy.
5) They want government to control your every thought, as long as it is similar to theirs.
I could go on and on...

Its a time issue.
Most of the democrats I know are professional people, doctors, lawyers etc. They have more free time.
From observing this board most republicans seem to be hourly employees, so I guess missing a couple of hours at 9 or 10 bucks an hour is a big deal.

An individual’s likelihood of being a Democrat decreases with every additional dollar he or she earns. Democrats have a huge advantage (63 percent) with voters earning less than $15,000 per year. This advantage carries forward for individuals earning up to $50,000 per year, and then turns in the Republicans’ favor — with just 36 percent of individuals earning more than $200,000 per year supporting Democrats. Interestingly, the median household income in the United States is $49,777 — right near the point where the Democratic advantage disappears and the Republicans take over. About half of Democrats express satisfaction with their personal financial situation, compared with 61 percent of Republicans and 52 percent of Independents.

Liberals are progressive and want to change the status quo.
Conservatives accept the status quo so there isn't much reason to protest.

I live in the lower Garden District, all of my neighbors are professional people, probably 80% identify as democrat and the 20% that identify as republican are not related to the mouth breathers here. Sorry.

We work.

I agree with you, but I think we may need to organize and hit the streets to fight back if the left media keeps spreading more lies than truth and if politicians and the intelligence community continue to break laws on multiple levels, yet get away with it.

Fair enough...sounds like you're in a democrat bubble of limousine liberals.

Stunted adolescence? They never got thru the "tantrum" phase of growing up?

I would agree with lawyers.

Awe. How cute. Insulting Trump voters is going to get you a long way, especially after it has been proven over and over what demographic ultimately voted him in.
Sorry your narrative no longer works. I still like you pushing it, though.

Ok, you've made a quasi-point to your argument but then I'll ask you this question- if you think the protests of Obama were as rampant as the protests of Trump, then why did we not see practically 24 hour coverage of the Obama protests as we have seen of the Trump protests? What's the reasoning for that?

I'm gonna guess that you're not even aware of the fact that the very explanation you gave is a yuge reason Trump won in an unprecedented landslide and is going to fundamentally transform the United States of America.
Thanks!

The just borrowed the idea from the left.

No, I proved that conservatives are guilty of the same bitching that they claim only liberals are guilty of.
Regarding media coverage, that isn't the point of this thread or my comment. The media covered protests from both sides. I doubt that the coverage was equal.

I live in the richest zip code in Chicago (and one of the richest in the country), and it's far more conservative than most of the rest of the city. Nice anecdote.
To the OP, the left is often younger. That's probably the main reason.

Liberals care more about the country
No, they just view all political, economical and social issues with emotion only.
They want to help people, but want others to use their own time to do it.
They want to pay for things, but want to use other people's money.
etc...
I'd much rather approach these problems logically than emotionally.

Pretty sure the OP was not referring to protest as bitching but as organized groups of people. Comprehension bro.

Ego, their self worth is derived from their politics.
