Theory on why older conservatives and younger liberals are the insufferable skyscreamers
Posted by xiv on 11/12/18 at 8:55 pm851
GOP needs older people, who lean right, to keep voting in droves.
Dems need younger people, who lean left, to vote more.
Nothing motivates a demographic to vote more than fear. Hence, it behooves GOP to make sure older people are scared come election time, and Democrats, younger people.
What scares older people? Immigrants, trannies, Muslims. GOP pimps issues related to these things come election time.
What scares younger people? Guns, offending people of color, work. Dems pimp issues related to these things come election time.
Given all these facts, I observe that older conservatives and younger liberals are giant assholes pretty much all the time, and older liberals and younger conservatives, not so much.
For all intents and purposes, I see the old/young cutoff somewhere between the mid-60’s and mid-70’s.

The whole “voting out of fear” observation tends to offend the people who vote out of fear.

I think it’s all about Urban/Rural divide that makes each class insufferable to the other.

Yeah. Fear sells.
Wait until I tell you about this thing called sex. It really, really sells.

If it bleeds when you shoot it, I don't fear it.

If you mean ILLEGAL immigrants then yes. They should scare the Dems and Repubs alike, particularly those in the lower classes.
Their numbers and cheap labor make them a threat to the jobs that these classes typically hold, and only further water down the candidate pool to boot. There's also millions of applicants patiently waiting in line to do it the right way, who are automatically disenfranchised with the opportunity they're presented when an illegal strolls right in before them.
I've never understood why anyone would be okay with that, regardless of political leanings.

Ya perspective ... older Rural folk where I’m from don’t politic up in your face like every Hipster urbanite I’ve encountered

The entire political system operates on fear. Neither party offers much except that they aren't the other guy. It runs the entire spectrum

The messaging runs on fear, the actions can cause fear, but I know what I am politically. I don’t live my life scared. I vote, and I discuss my beliefs and hope it goes my way. Fear doesn’t determine the decisions of the informed. It can herd sheep though.
In the end when the checks and balances finally fail the notch on the spectrum we are at will be irrelevant

I'm probably considered old although I don't think of myself that way
But I'm not scared of immigrants. I simply recognized that unfettered immigration is a stupid idea
I'm not scared of trannies. That doesn't mean that whatever they want make sense.
Anybody who has ever read what Muslims base their beliefs on should have a healthy fear of them. You should react to somebody saying he believes in what Muhammad taught in roughly the same way you would react to someone saying they loved Mein Kampf
Liberals like to project a lot. that's because for liberals they cannot conceive that someone can evaluate a problem and come to a conclusion other than the liberal conclusion. Hence any conclusions counter to the left must be driven by some form of malice.
I will tell you why I am an old, insufferable sky screamer. You have to go back with me though, to the 70's. I was born in the 60's, father drafted for Vietnam, living in Cali.
Grew up so dirt poor I didn't have electricity or drinkable water multiple times a year. No air conditioning until I moved to Austin for college.
Fought for everything I have, physically fought. You were a pussy back then you got run over. You were a dickhead you got busted up by someone. Bullies never lasted because someone beat their asses and the school and teachers just looked away because it was right.
This modern culture coddles fricking incompetence. Laziness is the new norm along with sucking c o c k for so called males to be hip.
Give me a break, classic Americana is bad and this new fig communism is all the rage. Wow, knew it was going bad but never thought it was a wasted cause.
Just my opinion.

I didn't see shite about it on Facebook, just here.

I have no idea, I'm not old nor do I use facebook.
Care to explain how the caravan wouldn't be considered illegal immigrants though?
I'm an older Conservative and I could not disagree more with the OP.
We're the most laid back patient group in the country.
Older liberals, younger liberals, in-between liberals ... they're ALL sky screamers.
When exactly do us older Conservatives scream OP? Cite a specific instance if you will. All the ones I know take each and every day like a new one ... we're just happy to be here.

Your post, too.
I'm not remotely afraid of immigrants. In fact, ever time I meet someone who came here from elsewhere, or whose parents did, the first thing I want to do is learn from them about what brought them or their parents and about their experiences.
I can work with a trannie all day. In fact, oddly enough, a former male 1SG of mine is now a college professor "woman" and, they're still friends with me on FB. I'm not looking to make love to them, but that's about it.
The Muslim thing is just dumb. The Koran is a heinous offering and that the left even remotely refuses to recognize that while simultaneously calling everyone who disagrees with them a Nazi is completely impossible to explain.
