The colon jokes tickle me somehow. Which reminds me of a line in a movie I can't at all remember the title of or even what it was about but..."Tickle your ass with a feather?" Anyone? Bueller?
We've heard the yin out and let it hold the reins for too long. That's how we got to this point. The yin needs to shut up and fall in line. I see no benefit of offering the reins back until the enemy is annihilated. Furthermore, there should be safeties put in place, to ensure it never gets this bad again. Democracy is a terrible idea. Just ask Plato. He's long dead, but the clarity of his position against democracies are laid out in The Republic.
I knew that political orientation was hereditary to a degree, but then is 40% enough to provoke genetic-defensive behavior? Maybe it is, which may suggest that loyalty to one party might actually be a biological strategy to protect one’s own or perceived similar genetics. If so, we might see similar voting within distinct genetic enclaves.
Exactly. Yeah, I really want to see studies on this. The research that exists is fascinating, but kind of sparse. considering how the internet has sucked so many people into making their political orientation their identity , and considering how this has led to escalating extremism, you would think we would be throwing boats full of money at figuring it out.

(40 percent still sounds a tad high to me, but I ain’t one of these scientists)
I mean if your hypothesis is true, then we REALLY need to get on this.

Ron Swanson was Right.
Yeah well leftists have clearly been the biggest assholes since before Paris and Recreation — but still I would call him more of a libertarian.
