The left in general, see's power and authority on (almost) a religious level. Where righties generally look to the word of God, or their priests, the left (who also can look to God) looks to people like the President or individuals at the top pf their class, whether it be Hollywood stars, or media journalists, etc. That's why you see the freak outs about Trump, or Roseanne, or Kanye, or Megyn Kelly. That's why there was a much bigger push from the media and Hollywood to promote Hillary, compared to a weak Hollywood/media push for Trump. Righties don't really care about power and spotlight as much, they mostly only care about what it can do for them, where as the left looks at it in awe and as inspiration, as well as what it can do for them. Since the left believes so strongly in authority, trickle down is a big thing for them when it comes to everything. They assume if Trump, at the top of the pyramid, is acting like a 'lunatic', then it stands to reason that it will lead to everything below him becoming destabilized. Which gives the political lefties, and/or righties, a bit of a pass when they say crazy things too, because it's naturally trickling down to them from above, based on their viewpoint. The left views the pyramid in an upside down fashion. They think the capstone is the most important, and that everything below is heavily impacted by it. The right understand that the capstone can only remain seated and intact in it's position, as long as all of the individual stones below hold their fair share of the burden. If the capstone falls apart on it's own, you just end up with a few chips out of some of the stones below, and an "ugly" slightly imperfect pyramid. That capstone can be repaired or replaced fairly easily however. Now If the stones below become too unstable, the capstone doesn't stand a chance on it's own, and you end up with a heap of rocks resembling nothing. The left looks at things from a top down perspective, and the right look at things from the bottom up. The main reason you see the right coming in droves to Trump rallies, and why they seem so passionate about him, is because they see that for the first time in a long time, that a 'political' candidate understands this. That if America keeps going down a road where the Country is run from a top down political perspective, the Country will slowly eat away at itself until it crumbles. The capstone can twist and turn and degrade all it wants for the most part, to a certain degree, and the rest of the pyramid couldn't care less, as long as it's receiving the care it needs to support the entire structure. You can't bring in too many new blocks while focusing mostly on new pyramids, if you know the blocks supporting the Great Pyramid are falling apart. If you lose the main draw, you might as well not have even bothered in the first place. |
If we can keep the contry from going down a path of nationalism and killing everyone else, we will be fine thank you very much. You are whats crumbling the country by pretending that one half has all the answers and the other half is wrong. Trickledown economics is the right so your analogy is bogus and ill informed. This has been done before. Stop thinking that one side has all of the answers and that the other side needs to follow (or else you will bust in our church or send them a bomb.) No, that isn't helpful. If the right had all of the answers they wouldn't be committing and then deflecting these kinds of behaviors. The left is has its nutjobs too so guess what, you are still no better or worse than anyone else.
The silent majority will start to reign in the craziness on November 6th.
