You’re still a parasite

You are scientifically proven to need a strong man to tell you what to do. It comes from your fear. Basically you are a pssy who NEEDs, no CRAVES being told what to do and how to think. Its science.

Research shows that conservative and right-wing individuals are more likely than liberal and left-wing individuals to prefer dominant leaders. According to adaptive followership theory, this reflects psychological mechanisms that tag dominant individuals as more competent under situations of conflict.

Conservatives tend to view the world as dangerous and ridden with intergroup conflict and, hence, have heightened preferences for dominant leaders (the competence explanation). Yet, an alternative mechanism is possible, where people stereotypically associate dominant-looking leaders with conservativism such that conservatives perceive these leaders as more similar to themselves (the similarity explanation). Hence, the effects of dominance might not be a matter of perceived competence but of perceived policy agreement.

This article pits these explanations about the underlying psychological mechanisms against each other. Using nationally representative survey experiments, we find support for the competence explanation by demonstrating that right-wing individuals prefer dominant candidates even if they are clearly politically closer to non-dominant candidates. This preference for dominant candidates only fades when the dominant candidates are from entirely different political parties than the right-wing individuals themselves.

I am the dominant leader and this so called research is subjective

I asked you if you wanted to make it a troika

You are so predictable. I can predict virtually every word you are going to type before you do it, when you'll get mad, when you'll start challenging people to fights you know will never happen, then watch you fizzle out and start again. You are simple and predictable.

Abortion is still legal in most places.
Much ado about nothing.

Quick, look up! Maybe you'll see my point going clear over your head!

Manchin is gone
Tester lost
Kelly has moved super left
Don’t know the other 3

They aren’t the faces of the party

Thank you for confirming my point.

Thanks for your kind words. Keep responding.

It’s entertaining

Thank you for confirming my point.

You confirmed my pt.
Few know who they are so they aren’t the faces

You mean they are not demons to the Right. They are not nationally known but their constituencies know them and elected them.

Republicans used to be about the sensible center. The GOP of John McCain and the like represented it. And I voted for many of them. Now? You're 100% for criminals getting payouts from the government.

You’re holding McCain up with Baseball and Apple pie?

The GOP candidates see politics as improving their brand; nothing else. Reality TV stars who are long on hairspray and short on education. It’s where ideas go to die. Democrats are trying to actually govern.

By fraud and stuffing their pockets, and fanning a class war.

This quote from a fellow MAGA sums up the GOP:



Nothing about the American dream, healthcare, equality, or even Christianity....Just a hope for more pain.

That’s your ends.

I did not really start following politics until 2015. Honestly didn’t care all that much beforehand. From what I have read/watched. The Democratic Party has moved very far left.

Clinton was anti gay marriage. Obama was the deporter in chief. Democrats have seemingly embraced the wealthy while also pining for UH, vilifying wealthy persons and large corporations and seemingly for open borders and defunding the police. Sudden support of DEI and embracing the rainbow flag while vilifying the US flag. Pro Alphabet Mafia. Party surprisingly doesn’t want the straight white male vote.

Conversely the GOP has moved more toward populism. Likely as a response to the Democrats moving so far left. Highly secure borders, tougher H1B1 standards, pro policing, certainly pro 2A and pro life, pro capitalism, pro law and order (back the blue).

Both parties overspend, albeit for different reasons. Both parties have seemingly embraced vilifying Jews. GOP at least also vilifies Islam while the Democratic Party kowtows to it.

Both trying to win the podcast wars. Tough to tell who is winning. I’d give the GOP a slight edge. Democrats still control most of the main stream/old school media and Hollywood.

Overall I believe both parties have shifted so far from the middle (Democrats notably farther) that being a true independent voter is impossible.

Did I get this right? Fully? Partially?

Yes, you basically hit the nail on the head.

Today, the QUACKS........DemoQUAKS.......have to go all in. For the 1st time their narrative has been challenged, and people are listening, and weighing their options.

In all honesty, they are betting that Americans who embraced the country in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, have died..........at least enough that their 25% of the electorate, can carry the day. In essence, they are betting that YOU will stay home, and NOT show resistance to their vision.

REALITY------->you have already won..........if you are doing it for yourself and spouse, or are doing it for your kids, or maybe your grandkids. They do NOT have the numbers, and all you have to do is vote to bury them.

Up to you!

There is no doubt, that these blue haired, green haired, FAR LEFTISTS are all going to vote. They have ZERO CHANCE of winning, if you vote!

If you vote, you will win and retake your country. Stay home, and NEVER complain again how "you do NOT understand what has happened!"

No.

Not even close.

Conservatives (maga) has had the same positions for 60 or more years. The left is unrecognizable. Trump is the most conservative- governing president since Coolidge. True conservatives love the guy. RINOs don’t.

Reagan, not Trump. Trump is actually left of center.
