If I see someone with truck nutz, that person is 100% voting for Trump.
I got some nuts for my commuter mountain bike - I'm still not sure if it was ironic or not...
I've always felt like conservative people are more likely the type of people who walk their dogs off leash. Don't tread on me extends to their pets
A big part of conservatism is social dominance orientation: i.e. having a worldview in which every social interaction has a dominant party, and thus aspiring to project dominance in all areas. Using your dogs to dominate other peopleβs space can be part of this.
This is my conservative father in a nutshell
Conservatives seem to eat fast food more. Conservatives also seem to be home-schooled more. Lastly, liberals seem to try more food than conservatives. Conservatives typically stick to what they know and are more traditional whereas liberals explore and understand more cultures through food.
Conservatives also seem to be home-schooled more
That one's highly political. You know, so precious little Billy-Bob doesn't get exposed to dangerously new, untested ideas like the wheel, or fire.
Technically they are all political and reflect the conservative and liberal mindsets.
I suspect the trend is reversed with Taco Bell (but not necessarily Panda Express) and that itβs even stronger with casual sit down restaurants like Applebees or ihop
Conservatives are more likely to follow college sports, while liberals are more likely to follow professional sports.
Why? Beats me.
Edit: I read this in a study once. Might be this one. Also, I'm reminded that basketball fans are more likely to be liberal as well.
Liberals tend to appreciate expertise. Conservatives tend to like 'em young.
I think that question is hard to answer as there are very few topics of everyday life that aren't at least remotely political.
Big cars, weapons, traditional family models (e.g. stay at home moms), focussing on traditional industries such as petrol than new technology such as solar etc. are all typical conservative topics. I mean conservative already implies with its name that you want to conserve the 'as is'.
Contrarily, progressive and liberal people will be more open to changes and trying new things: food, new ways of transportation, new business models, other family concepts.
Liberal men think they're to good to watch sports then gush over super hero movies
I don't really care for either, but that's pretty dead on. π€£
*too
It's hard to say, because it's not the first thing you learn about somebody. If someone's dressed remotely nicely, I can instantly tell they're from the city, and I suspect it's more likely they're a liberal, but I don't really know unless it comes up.
Extremists tend to have anime pfps. Conservatives listen to the radio way more often, and are pretty much the only audience of radio talk shows. Progressives have a tendency to consider the implications of the media they consume way more than conservatives. Liberals tend to play tabletop games more often than other political groups. Socialists (of all variations) are the most likely group to have taken unconventional lifestyle choices (i.e. they're vegan, live in a commune, make their own clothes, etc.). Authoritarians are obsessed with "the natural order". This tends to shine through in the justificationns they give for their political beliefs. Anarchists/Libertarians shy away from the mainstream of literally anything (punk rock is a shining example, as is their prevalence here).
