Rhapakatui Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 So draker 2016? I'm currently torn between writing in Draker, Smoke, or Mickey Mouse. God knows I'm not voting for any of the other candidates I've seen so far. Thieves, liars, or well meaning with no idea how things work.... or a lying thief with no idea how things work.

He's still not ever going to do anything to help anyone other than himself. http://www.snopes.com/1998-trump-people-quote/ I always thought Democrats were the dumbest group of voters in the country. 1 Quote Link to comment

paradime Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'm politically agnostic, I believe there is a president, congress and senate... I just don't believe I need to join a party in order to be a well informed voter. Both Dem and Rep individuals believe WE the people should take the government back, but often what they mean is to take government back from the other party, not the corrupt system as a whole. What is missed in that way of thinking is both mindsets are necessary in a healthy, well functioning society. Behind the curtain of political science, researchers know more about the psychology of these "liberal" and "conservative" mindsets than you realize. Political strategists like Scooter Libby and James Carville use this psychological information to construct a message that influences and motivates the public to vote a certain way. You may think a politician is speaking from their heart, but in reality they have teams of people crafting the message they put forward. This is what is called manufacturing consensus. Most people want to believe their political choices stem from logic and reasoning, but logical thought only plays a small part of what makes up our world view, and how we project that into the political process. Psychological research in the area of politics use a "boi-psych-social" model for understanding what are call stable traits, ie conservative or liberal tendencies. Bio: a neurological predisposition. Psych: the process we use to assign meaning. Social: the influence our environment has on assimilation and belief. There are personality tests such as the 16 Personality Factor test, and the Big 5 Personality Facter test that can clearly identify the distinct personality traits that make up a con, or lib mindset. With that information, advertisers, public relations, and politicians can form a message that speaks directly to a specific mindset/demographic, or attract the undecided. There are thousands of research studies done in the name of political science, communication, sociology, and psychology that deal directly with identifying what influences the these two distinct mindsets. Often these studies are paid for by the PR firms, political pundits, and campaign strategists that use this data to get us to vote for their candidate. The modern psychological leg up in political science really began with this study in 1981 The Origins and Meaning of Liberal/Conservative Self-IdentificationsPamela Johnston Conover, and Stanley FeldmanAmerican Journal of Political Sciencehttp://www.jstor.org/stable/2110756?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents Today: Neurocognitive correlates of liberalism and conservatismDavid M Amodio, John T Jost, Sarah L Master2 & Cindy M Yeehttp://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v10/n10/abs/nn1979.html Nursery school personality and political orientation two decades laterJack Block, Jeanne H.
