Assuming bad qualities are more common on the right just because you dislike/disagree with people on the right is exactly what is wrong with politics and personal bias.

There are just as many terrible democrats as there are republicans and just as many terrible people in other parties. Pretending otherwise does not fix the many problems that exist in this country and the world.

That's so deep. You are so right. Wow, bad people come from both parties, that is such a revelation. Thanks for enlightening us.

In this specific instance, Kane's bad qualities, circumstances, and particular brand of racism lend themselves to the right. I know I just made five bad Democrats hatch from Tim Kaine's nest by typing that sentence, but I'll just have to live with that guilt I guess. Bad people can be Democrats but this bad person is probably a Republican.

You have absolutely no reason to think that past your own wish for him to be, because rich white guy=Republic is a gross, inaccurate simplification, but after so many days and so many people telling you so, it's pretty clear you're a lost cause.

AYRT

But I'm not saying ALL bad qualities are more common on the right. I'm saying:

"rich, white, blatantly racist, entitled frat boy"

tends right, and I can provide statistical evidence for rich, white, male, and blatantly racist. Entitled is probably even stevens, though.

Non-blatant racism is a little trickier - I wouldn't be surprised if racist views and preconceptions were held equally among white people all over the political map. But blatant racism, such as suppressing minority votes and rhetoric about thugs and building a wall on the Mexican border - that's definitely more common on the right.

Things like sexual fidelity, financial honesty, personal cleanliness, many other qualities, these don't have a left-right skew that I'm aware of. Civil rights absolutely do.

I can't even remember your original point? Was it you who said that Kane was bound to be a supporter of Trump and saying otherwise is pulling crap from nowhere to defend him? Or am I getting my nonnies confused?

I was "statistically it's more likely, but statistically Kane's also more likely to be Canadian" anon.

SA unless you're trying to figure out who I was earlier in the thread. I wasn't, I only joined to defend statistics. I don't have an opinion on Kane's political allegiance, if any.
