There is a lot of studies on the working class white christian conservative and how they are different from most other voters. For instance, almost all African Americans vote Democratic, yet their social views with Republican’s are nearly identical. However, social issues come secondary to economic issues in most cases. The working class white christian would almost assuredly benefit more economically from voting Democrat versus Republican yet they vote the other way.
Like, right now in America we have this whole Tea Party movement going on, and 40% of the members are over the age of 55 meaning in the next few years they will be living off of medicare and social security, yet they align themselves with The Tea Party who if had total control would eradicate social security and medicare tomorrow. The Political climate in America is so hostile, that Conservatives would rather see Obama, and therefore the nation fail then compromise with the man. Now, what basically has to happen is a complete take over by one party if we EVER want any sort of legislation put through without it being obstructed…..It’s seriously and excuse my language FUCKED UP.
I look at the UK and their Parliament and yes, they have fundamental differences but they make compromise to get things done. They also have a right, left, and center party. In America, it’s either far left, or far right…..There is no in between and it’s just killing us, and in return the world since if we default, the whole world is coming down with us.
I’m not trying to spark some political debate here I’m just trying to give tearj3rker an idea of the current political climate here.
