I'd be careful with this guy's broadbrush generalizations. Even in the 'red' counties, there are plenty of blues and in the 'blue' counties, there are plenty of reds.
As for protesters, there hasnt been much vandalism, in fact its been a 'coming together' for many many people.
And we'll never know, but if we're going to paint with broad brush, if the election had gone the other way, there would have also been protests (Trump was practically urging it with all his bogus 'rigged election' talk) and those red staters like their guns...(one good generalization deserves another ;-)
The more meaningful generalization, with actual numbers behind it, is that the blue areas on your map are where there is more and higher education and more wealth. People can interpret that for what its worth.
And in the end, Trump 's rhetoric during the campaign was extremely devisive (outright hate towards immigrants, refugees, people of color, women, the environment) and it looks like he is continuing down that path with the people he is considering appointing to his administration. A lot of people are quite distraught over this .
I included "may mean" in the title and "if... accurate" in the second sentence to be careful.
I realize that opinions vary, and this was the first time that I had heard this one.
Then it's not "things I learned", but "what some people say". I suggest looking at the map that shows results as shades of purple - and to look at smaller political boundaries like the precincts. Those can then be aggregated to whatever jurisdiction you are focusing on. I've looked at the purple maps from past elections and it's a whole different picture than putting counties as all red or all blue.
Most things that we learn come from others.
Also, if we learn about a theory, we are still learning about it, correct?
I had never been exposed to this theory, and learned about it earlier.
Just want to say that I laughed out loud at the end of this thread where you learned how dead people can have orgasms. That makes two of us on that score. I wonder if they actually learn they can do that, though. ; )
Learned about!
LEARNED ABOUT!
I did not "learn" that!!!!!!!!!
LOL! HERE
How about "I was exposed to an idea". And an idea is a long, long way from a theory. Either way, learning about something is so different than actually learning something. Learning about deer hunting is different than learning deer hunting. What did you really learn? I guess I will have to learn how folks are interpreting the Today I Learned tag, lol.
I saw one posted in that today about how dead people can have orgasms.
I think was learning about something too.
LOL!
Yeah. It's brand new, but I bet a lot is information and not application.
I get your point.
I'm sorry if I came off a bit on the offense, I tried to tie my comments to the comments of the man whom you spoke with. I know you were just putting it out there ;-)
No problem, I was just making sure that you were aware that I was merely exposed to the concept, and though it is only one of many factors, there seems to be some things that could be valid about it.
I am not trying to offend anyone either, I'm just thinking and sharing.
Still, thank you for that reply.
