I'm not sure if using politicians and their fake "anger" has anything to do with real people and their happiness or unhappiness.
I mean, I could easily troll the fuck out of you guys with videos of Hillary Clinton doing her "Shrillary" act screaming and acting crazy. Or I could post up pictures of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi with their old (ancient) faces frowning.
But it's too easy.
Instead, I just opted to quote a few of you guys. It has always appeared to me that when people get defensive over their politics it always comes off as bitter and unhappy.
Using that criteria...we all come across that way, especially when name-calling using cherry picked examples to try and generalize half the U.S. population.
You guys know it's not that simple.
Some people are "conservative" financially. Which in 2015 means that they believe every individual should pay their own way and work hard. And those same people can be ULTRA-liberal socially beyond anything that any Democrat politician would ever be able to fathom.
Yeah, there are some ultra-religious social "conservatives" in the Republican Party. And yes, there are some ultra-socialists fiscal "liberals" in the Democrat Party.
I don't think either of those two extremes really describes PEOPLE in general in the U.S.
Politicians pander to both extremes because extremists DO vote. Whereas most "normal" people aren't that anal about voting...and extremist's votes every time because they have an agenda to push.
So we get politicians on the "right" acting like jackasses, and politicians on the left acting like jackasses. All trying to get that "extreme" vote without going too far and pissing off the "Middle".
