I counterpoint to that might be that right-wing people tend to practice what they preach compared to the left. I recall a study years ago linked on another forum about recycling and how the left-wingers in the test talked about recycling but actually didn't do it all that much while the right-wingers didn't talk much at all but did it far more frequently.

With what you say, it might be that many don't think it through enough on their own and just do it because it's become established.
Not too unreasonable of an assessment. I mean I think regular recycling does fit on a more customary level. It'd be pretty unfair to paint a grand narrative that makes right-wing superficial in comparison just based on what I'm saying.

I don't think it's unfair to say that people that are right wing will pay a lot more attention to composure, wardrobe, makeup to come off more cunningly. It's kind of swung by gender roles a little more with men fitting a more clean cut bill with women being more vibrant and noticeable. These are customs that pay more attention to superficial features, whereas a leftist might have customary style, but is expected to generally rely on the ideal principle of their message in their speech behind the podium I'd say.

And really though just that individual recycling is more in the realm of a bipartisan generic issue, at least especially as far as individuals duties are concerned. It is a pretty ground-based comparison I must say. Very comparable to attractiveness for that matter.

It has nothing to do with cunning and to do with the fact that, from a psychological standpoint, conservativism correlates heavily with contentiousness on the Big 5 scale and contentious people tend to more prim and proper.

Similarly, openness correlates heavily with liberalism in people, and open people tend to be more creative but more disorganized. In business, open people are the ones that mostly start businesses, but they then require the contentious to come in and maintain their success afterwards.

Many right wing people may have a more superficial understanding of their values and positions, but that isn't because those values and positions are superficial. They are pragmatically following established traditions that have worked through the test of time. Now, the left may roll their eyes at that sort of thing, but it's served Mankind very, very well even if the past, say 400 years or so holds issue with it.

Its an amusing observation of you and your outlook on such behavior. It is indicative of our times when those on both sides of the political spectrum fail to see their opposites as complementing them where they are difficient. I'm not surprised through, the great modern machine wants to rip itself apart now.

Um, I think what's amusing is you confusing consientiousness for contentiousness. You don't need to look like you graduated from Westpoint to present yourself as organized.

Conservative people tend to prescribe good work ethic, yes. Their business ventures tend to abate much risk with higher community outlooks and religious networking.

Right wing people have superficial understandings because they tend to explain away inequality like it's the theory of evolution. It is, at best, communitarianism or otherwise making sure that Democrats don't have good district lining to represent their people proportionately.

For some reason, I immediately thought of the ''PC vs Mac commercial'' when i read this.

Aw that's the stuff.

Really though that fits the dynamic 90's lib/con dynamic of the tech world. As time went on, I think silicon valley generally rendered the tech world blue. And Apple's presence wasn't really a pioneer in that I don't think.

No, I'm going by what has been found with regard to the OCEAN model, or Big 5 personality traits. Contentiousness in that would apply towards disagreeable end on the scale of agreeableness.

From what I've seen of the last few years of political polarization, disagreeableness is not the realm of any one on the political spectrum.
It is, at best, communitarianism or otherwise making sure that Democrats don't have good district lining to represent their people proportionately.
And interesting note: Many I've run across in the US in recent years on both sides have begun to take a victim stance I find evocative of what's expressed here. People I know from both ends act like this will be the last election the US will ever have if the opposing side wins the presidency as that party will not allow further ones, or the other branches of the government will fall to that side and lock the other out.

I find it disturbing. It's one thing to act like it's impossible to talk to the other side, but to keep going down that rabbit hole will lead to the idea that the only way to represent ones side anymore is through direct, violent action before it's too late.

Always fun when we descend into group-stereotyping, right? Ah, the holdovers from jungle days!

This legitimately made me laugh. Thanks for the comedy.

I've seen plenty of gorgeous right and left-wingers, male and female, that floated my boat, but alas, still waiting for Mr. or Mrs. Right. And I don't necessarily mean right wing, haha!

Yeah that's because one side are actual victims and the other side has a victim complex. Only one of the two candidates has said he wants to be president for 12 years. South Park isn't good political education.

So the people voting for Trump have no legitimate worries per se? The coal-workers who are overtaken by technological development, the rust-belters, who suffer from society's inability or unwillingness to adress the erosion of homegrown industry and so on? Trump isn't the cause of the US' woes, he's a symptom.
