Why do you think metropolis' swing liberal Democrat?

[TheDude]

Pretty sure I know, but I'd like to hear opinions.

 

[ABikerSailor]

Having grown up in small towns in Montana and Colorado, as well as having lived in large cities where I was stationed, I have an opinion...........

Small towns are places where everyone knows everyone, and they all pretty much think the same on broad issues. And, because they are so small, anyone who is from out of town is looked at with a bit of distrust because nobody knows them yet.

In the city, there is a mixture of a lot of different people, who have a lot of differing views (even on the large stuff), and so people in the cities have to be a bit more liberal in their thinking due to the large amount of different people.

Out in the country, it's easy to be bigoted because there are rarely new things that come through town, and if you have never seen a black or gay man or woman before, or been around them, it's easy to believe all the stereotypes rather than open your mind long enough to see if they are good people or not.

If this is true, why do you think hate crimes and protests occur in big cities as opposed to "the country"?

 

[BluesLegend]

First remember 100% of the voters in big cities did not vote liber, mostly just the lazy fat ass moochers looking for a government handout vote liberal. Plus actual liberals vote liberal no matter what, husband rapist serial wife cheater no problem. Corrupt lying POS candidate who believes she's above the law no problem. The liberal candidate could eat a raw kitten on live tv and the libs will still vote for them.

Two different kinds of animal. Protests occur in the cities because there is a large enough population of like minded people there to assemble.

As far as the hate crimes? Hate to tell you, but they occur more in the country than they do in the city, if you take the crime to population into account. Hate crimes in the cities tend to get more news attention than if they happen in the country. In the city, it might get national attention, in the country, it will more than likely stay with the local stations unless it was a severe enough crime to warrant national attention.

And.......like I said..............having lived in Montana, I saw it up close and personal. Didn't know certain jokes or certain words were racist until I got into the Navy, because everyone around me told them and we all thought they were funny. Matter of fact, didn't see my first black person until my Senior year of high school.

And before you say "well, if there were no black people, who were the crimes committed against"?, it was the Native Americans who seemed to catch the most grief.

 

[Onyx]

If this is true, why do you think hate crimes and protests occur in big cities as opposed to "the country"?

Because minorities are densely packed into cities.

Yeah pretty much agree. In a city you have the diversity of a lot of different types and cultures sharing the same space -- you have to learn to coexist, and to be exposed to or even incorporate new foods, new traditions, new music, new languages, new experiences.

Wasn't sure what the fractured English of the title was supposed to mean but as far as the "Democrat" part goes, little over a hundred years ago the Democratic Party absorbed the Populists, which made them kindred spirits with immigrants and labor unions and minorities and city dwellers for all those reasons, and cities that had been run by Republicans shifted with the shifting parties (at the same time the RP took on the interests of the rich).

That constituency contrast is so pronounced that we got to the point where virtually all cities are run by Democrats.

You original said it's those in the city who are independent thinkers. Now you say those in the city are like-minded thinkers. Which is it?

Reading comprehension dude. I said that in the cities, there are many different viewpoints on even the big issues, and when you asked about protests, I said that there is enough of a population of like minded people in the cities to form enough of a group to make a protest. How does a city get enough of like minded people that can form a protest? Simple..............much larger population than those in the country. Yeah, I could have done a protest in Vaughn MT, or Frenchtown, but it would look pretty stupid to have only two or three people standing by the road.

You imply there are towns with say 3K people and the balance are in the millions. I know this because you said "everyone knows everyone". I grew up in a somewhat similar area (few blacks and lots of American Indians) and I witnessed NO racism against them. Many were my friends. In fact, race didn't become an issue until we were inundated by Mexico. The result was gangs developed with the Native Indians and Mexicans facing off. I agree about protests.

I would argue those in the city are far more prone to propaganda. For certainty they're less independent. Therefore they're more likely to depend on the government, which is a trigger for socialism.

Having grown up in a large city towns in Pennsylvania, as well as having lived in small towns where I relocated for work, I have an opinion...........

Small towns are places where everyone knows everyone, and they all pretty much think the same on broad issues. And, because they are so small, anyone who is from out of town is looked at with a bit of distrust because nobody knows them yet.

In the city, there is a mixture of a lot of different people, who have narrow minded views (even on the large stuff), and so people in the cities have to be a bit more close minded in their thinking due to the small amount of interaction with people outside their city limits.

In the city, it's easy to be bigoted because there is rarely any non group think that comes through town. its easy to fall in the trap of mindless group think from majorities like blacks or gay man or woman, or people around them. It's easy to be indoctrinated because of narrow mindedness and believe everyone not like you stereotypes you rather than open your mind long enough to see if they are good people or not.

You think 3,000 people is a small town? In Montana that is a pretty good sized place. Vaughn MT, where I lived with my Grandparents was only about 300 people TOTAL. And, there are many places like that all over the state.

Oh cool, a liberal telling me what liberal means, taking the high road. It reads liberal democrat fucktards. Where does it say liberal party? You libs complain about EVERYTHING, yet know so little.

 

[JoeMoma]

In dense populations there is more need for goverment to set boundaries. Also, there is a greater expectation of government services such as police and fire protection or even garbage pickup. People become accustomed to government solutions to problems.

In more rural areas, there is less need for government to set boundaries. If your nearest neighbor is a mile away, you don't need government to keep the peace so much. You are more likely to make self defense your own responsibility, after all when seconds count the police are minutes (perhaps many minutes) away. If you have garbage pickup, it's probably through a private company. You are more likely to see more government as restrictions on your freedom.

Complain about you apparent lack of political science and poor grammar skills...

, mostly just the lazy fat ass moochers looking for a government handout vote liberal

Evidently the republicans are liberals also, since welfare has existed through their tenures in office..And Trump cheated on one of his wives, so have other repubs....oh the inhumanity...Do you know how much farmers get in welfare, it's a nice handy sum...
I voted for Trump, Reagan and Boosh, makes your statement rather insignificant about your illogical use of dissonance...But don't let me stop you from making a fool of yourself, you are doing a great at job
