So long as Alpha and Beta personalities exist, there will always be two general categories of political affiliation.
The Betas envy the success of the Alphas, and do not possess the necessary social skills or ambition to compete with them. Since the majority of the population consists of Betas, it is easy for Big Alphas (very successful CEO's for instance) to manipulate these primal emotions through their networks of puppets (like Obama).
These Big ******* Alpha Males have now come to dominate politics from the shadows, by controlling both parties. The Democrats strip the Middle Class of their wealth and give it to the poor (entitlements), and the Republicans strip the Middle Class of their wealth and give it to the rich (Bailouts). But neither the Democrats nor Republicans strip it from the rich and give it to the poor, and thus we'll end up in nation of Super Rich and Super Poor.
What you're seeing now is the concentration of Middle Class Alpha Males banding together for their own survival, under names such as "Tea Party" or "Sons of Liberty."
The amount of politically active conservative women (conservative is in Constitutionalists and Classical Liberals) is generally remote, because [most] women by their very Nature are Beta, so unless they have an Alpha husband/mate/partner, whose being shit on by the Government (Big Alphas with guns), they don't tend to really care what the Government does, in fact they welcome the Big Alphas with Guns giving them entitlements. Female Bonobos are know to have sex for food, why would human females be any different than their nearest genetic relative? This is not a fault of women, or something to frown upon. This is common sense for a woman. Are the needs of her children being met? If yes, then the system is working for her. Do her children have entitlements being provided by Big Alpha with Guns? Yes, therefore the system is working for women.
However, the system also worked for women during the late 18th and 19th Century, when we were guided by Classical Liberalism. But the system also worked for Men (capitalized, because weak and spineless cowards who envy othera aren't Men).
The current system in America only works for BIG ALPHA MALES WITH GUNS (Government) and women. Interestingly, the system completely disfavors and even makes a mockery of Beta Males, yet Beta Males are constantly manipulated into to voting for it and supporting it. This really leaves all of us Alpha Males (that arent in the top 0.001%) scratching our head.
When you recognize the dichotomy of Alpha and Beta exists, and exists in the precisely the manner that I just described, it really makes analyzing the intentions of modern politicians rather easy.
Gun Control, why do modern politicians pursue it? Easy, what is the biggest threat to an ALPHA MALE WITH A GUN (Government)? Obviously, it's ANOTHER ALPHA MALE WITH A GUN (Revolutionaries).
Notice the emphasis on "ALPHA MALE." If you armed 100,000,000 BETA MALES with the most modern military firearms, they would not defend themselves and their nation against a Tyranny. This is why revolutions are fought by less than 3% of the population. A revolution is ALPHA WITH GUNS vs ALPHA WITH GUNS.
It doesn't matter who is right or wrong (the government or the revolutionaries), it simply comes down to "Does the Government have more Alphas willing to die to preserve their Power, or do the Revolutionaries have more Alphas willing to die to seize Power."
Regardless of who wins, the Betas applaud the victorious.
