  1. Cause Republicans are farmers. And just in Texas it's farmers who accidentally found oil.

  2. "remain" is the opposite of "never before". So this statement does not make any sense in first place.

  3.  @no-gracias9863  Unless it's imported, yes. But the right term is "states with a republican majority", Why do you ask ? Rice grows only in the South, not in connecticut, Wheat grows in the great plains, beef also. California has Wine, Nuts and Almonds. Chicken and vegetables come from everywhere. You can only buy what is offered, can't you ?

  4. @Mc Water Sure, no slaves, but the mindset is still there. "Just mercy" is a current good movie reflecting it. If you feel insecure, you can call the police, you don't need to do it yourself. And it's OK to have different opinions. I just described some of the republican or southern point of views - not shared by the more democratic coastal states. It's not wrong - but it's different. All your statements just say "it is", but the "why" or "what is it god for" is missing. That's a part of this mindset. With an attitude of "It's true, cause I say so". Not really intellectual.

  5. Same as people outside America don't realize the Georgia/Illinois differences. Just the border line of these differences in USA is softer, not as sharp as in Germany. And people in Germany prefer more uniformity. They feel a society by behaving similiar. This common lifestyle is not possible in USA due to time zones and climate conditions, so they are used to beeing different. It's not that differences are big, it's you accept you are different.

  6. Conservatives are never innovative. Cause they like to stick with old stuff, by definition.

  7. But today it's the best in germany, cause they all have been repaired 1995 to 2010. While in the west you go on roads from 1975.

  8. The world has more than two sides.

  9. Yes, cause you talk like a religious fanatic, saying it's a malaise without giving any reasons for it, just saying "it's god given" or anything like that. There is absolutly nothing bad in child care and working mothers. And it never was. 150 years ago mothers worked on the fields, with her childs on the back, or sitting at the side of the field. Not working Moms is a sign of either high unemployment, as from 1880 to 1940, or of very high prosperity like 1955-1975, in which case it was a luxury to stay home. This felt prosperity was not ended by any crisis, but by simply getting used to it, and increasing offers for consumption. As more products there are for sale, as more you feel an urge for more money.

  10. AfD mainly addresses emotions. Raises worries, showing a dystopic future. It's like they invent the desease to sell a medicine. same as Trump does. Trumps claim is "America is not great". So take me, to make it great again. Emotions only.

  11. That's more getting rid of an ideology. If you are told for decades, everything is "peoples assets" and you are going to believe it, you can feel like dispossessed. Actually many was sold, and the value was treated like taxes. State income. Which is the todays "peoples assets".

  12.  @acw7120  You need somebody to brainwash you, to believe in god. This chain has been broken .. fortunatly.

  13. @Mc Water How you got the idea, it could be wrong being a Farmer ? What wrong is are just values like holding slaves, securing the own property with a gun, asking for death penalty, being against abortion and coming up with god. That is what is wrong with the Farmers in the south. It's not so much , with the farmers in the north of German/Scandinavian descent, or with people from the coasts.

  14. @Mc Water racism is still there. And its basic Ideologie, whether you solve conflicts yourselve, or with the help of law, police and courts. Or if revange makes any sense to you. Some say think first, some say act first. Usually people glorifyng the military act first. And religious people, don't tend to question things cause this is blasphemic. So you got thinkers vs non-thinkers. It starts with the simplicity of dividing the world in good and evil. Without any grayscale in the middle. Simplifying things is farmers style or conservative style.

  15. @Mc Water Correct. But you can ask when I'm missunderstandable. Slavery was the beginning of the idea, the whites are the boss, and the blacks the servants. This hasn't changed by the end of the civil war from one day to another. Separation in buses and restaurants ended just with Martin Luther King about 100 years later. And still today there are a lot of prejudice they would be dumb and poor and more criminal. Is this conclusive enough how slavery leads to racism and why this is more in the south, than in the North ? There is no need to "choose one", when it's connected. You had a black president, be he was from Chicago not from Alabama. Not a proof, but a sample. If nobody hat transported the Blacks to America, you wouldn't have got racism. It's as simple as that. Without slavery no racism. You asked me, why it's bad to be a farmer, and I have no idea why you asked me this. Did I give you any intention for this question ? I said farmers are often republicans, and their biggest cities, are in Texas, cause the farmers there, got rich, cause they did more than farming, they found oil, unintended and accidentally. Not with creativity or intelligence, just with good luck.

  16.  Landon Henson  but most farmers are republicans. An they dominante the middle west.

  17. Partially by mobility of people, but mainly cause >50% of people are not religious bound at all any more.

  18. No, due to somebody moved right, they consider everybody else as left.

  19.  @sandgbroschvany1818  No, not all. Conservative means "strong economy creates wealth, everybody gets it share automatically". While the left focus more on this "getting equal shares by action", redistributing via social insurances and taxes, wealth of the poor, etc". Extreme Left is "expropriate capitalists". Robin hood would have been extreme left, steel the rich, give to the poor. Extreme right is: Unwanted persons leave the country, they homogenize the entire culture, but NOT the money.

  20. If at all, CDU of 1950, beeing homophic, and having some remaining Nazis inside them. Already in the 60ies, they made huge programs to attract turkish immigration. In 2010 they made gay marriage possible. It's consvervatism admitting changes. The main topic for beeing extreme far right is not accepting the german citizenship as beeing german.

  21. Not about the current life, but they know it exists and something about the history. That's more than on other countries, like Chad or Belize.

  22. SPD is a strong capitalist based party.

  23. Yes, but they would make less money, cause they are not innovative or creative. So they guard the money of the past.

  24. This was the case for about 20years after reunion, for about 10% of people. Kind of "nostalgy" and "want it back". Today the topic is homogenity, Bratwurst vs. Döner Kebab. Seeing black people in the streets, Gender transformations ....all "dangers" not a all seen in the 90ies.

  25. No. Canada only belongs to immigrants, at 100%. They accept the existance of immigration. Once you get a passport you are Canadian. "Belonging" is meaningless. You can own land without beeing citizen at all.

  26. What you need power for ? Right, you have less power to blackmail other countries.

  27.  @lordcrazy357  No. As well as Silicon Valley or the MIT, breaking innovations come from the democratic coasts. The republicans grow wheat and corn and read the bible. The CCC is burning things down .. to my knowledge.

  28. It's as over as Texas and California. Exactly. And people love it.

  29. No. People would move. The Polish don't move because of the language bareer and distances. They do, but prefered UK and Sweden. In germany there is no such a barrier.

  30. I think in Ireland, goods and people were always able to pass the border. There are no similiarities. It's just formal administration there.

  31. We would need to built consumers for the electricity. Maybe we can install more Aircondition all over Africa to get rid of all that energy. Or we could make fresh water from seawater ?

  32. It's a common observation in may countries, farmers are more conservative than urban population.
