My late grandparents took me and my sister to Expo 67. First time on a plane for me and Expo 67 to me seemed the ultimate enchanted kingdom.
And yeah I think all of this comes down to these RATs being liars. I suspect if they were truth tellers then their voices would sound just fine. But your mind associates the sound of the voice with the lying that comes out non-stop and hence the reaction. Put another way I’m not sure that voices are inherently irritating (there are exceptions of course - RFJ Jr. being one that comes immediately to mind) but I think we learn (like Pavlov’s dogs) to associate certain voices with certain content and hence the reaction. That’s my theory, anyway.
I respect your theory. But tone of voice, sound, inflection(where there is any) and meter know no political party. It’s just some people have horrible speaking voices and a sensitive ear will pick up on it. People think it’s funny when they see a dog howling along to music. It isn’t for the dog though, it’s very painful and that is what the dog is responding to and painfully. Dogs, cats and other mammals(not us however) hear high and low frequency noise. I tell you, anytime I see on tv some clown doing this to a dog I’d love to say “Hey asshole, how about I tape a trumpet to your ear and let loose on you, would you think that’s funny’’?.
