The Unofficial But Kind of Official US Pawliticks Thread

[Renton]

Interesting fact I saw last night.

The last time the US voted for a republican ticket that didn't have the names Nixon or Bush on it was 1929, Hoover.

The way the republican party picks it's leaders is fucking creepy and makes them seem like they want to return to feudal times. They just run the same candidate over and over because its his "turn" to rule.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it here, but my theory on why this is is that conservatives have a more paranoid outlook about life, and so they end up "vetting" their candidates in this strange way that just makes them more comfortable around the runner ups.

The hardline conservative mindset is weird. I grew up in it and my sister still exemplifies it. Even in one of the safest counties in the entire country, she's afraid of getting out of her car without a loaded gun and she once delayed buying her daughter a bike so she and her husband could buy two more guns; they own over twenty as is.

Your theory seems pretty reasonable to me.
