I vote Democratic, but, in some ways, I don’t fit in with many Democratic voters.
Reason: I grew up playing team sports and then spent a stint in the Navy; my father was career Air Force.
And in such circles, you were part of a team, and you were EXPECTED to do your part. Otherwise, you were a liability.
But, well, I have social media friends who state that they are OWED sustenance by society for merely existing. Some really resent that they have to work for a living. (yes, we all complain about our jobs, etc)
Some pine for a socialist society but seem to not know any socialist countries that appeal to them (yes, the Scandinavian countries are capitalist ..they just have a robust safety net).
I think that my attitude affects my political views as well. No, I am not a Republican: I believe that the most effective economic stimulus comes at the bottom of the economy, not at the top.
But…when it comes to certain issues, well, it seems that the activists seem to play the “feel sorry for me” or “I am entitled to X” card..and it fails to persuade.
I believe that humans are transactional, and if you want society to either give something up OR to make some sort of effort to change, you have to convince others that THEY will be better off with said change.
