it’s actually pretty easy to figure. putting aside the democrats for a minute, the republican leadership knows they can run roughshod over us because they pretty much know their typical republican would be say, a 40 year old, white male, maybe accountant or engineer. hardly the type that will protest or cause trouble.
however, the day the first good ‘ol boy cannot feed his kids, that will probably change.
What have you against engineers? Your comment took me back many years. I was after service in the Pacific on the G.I. Bill as an engineering student at one of the foremost universities in the world. One day I was in the library and went to relieve myself. The first thing that caught my eye was a bunch of scribbling on the wall as to how engineers were the lowest of lows attending this great university. Obviously some liberal arts wise person did not like engineering people. Having been associated with many engineers over the years I think they tend in the most to be not influenced by liberal politics. I would be willing to acknowledge that engineers in government positions tend to be more liberal but that’s because some people of any sorts are always looking for the easy ‘take’.
