Have you ever wondered why there is such a lack of commonality in political discourse today? In America, you are either a Trump-supporter or not. There is absolutely no bridge or commonality between the two groups. It is almost as if there is one type of person who is composed of fire, and the other type of person is composed of water. Why is this?
Well, there is a theory that precisely explains this dichotomy of behavior. This theory is called the r/K Selection Theory in Evolutionary Ecology, and it is based on the observed survival behaviors of creatures.
It is a theory that simply states that a given species, over time, will evolve by developing their own survival strategies.
What is interesting is that people who have studied American politics have noted that various human groups or organizations have also adapted these same strategies. They have done so organically. It wasnt planned, it has just evolved that way. As such, they are both awed and disgusted in how it is playing out.
Politics This theory, when applied to political organizations and objectives, directly defines the behavior of the organization. It asserts that both Conservatism and Liberalism are a programmed psychology. It bases this fundamental and foundational premise on the behaviors of known population groups.
Liberalism, no matter what its current name is, is designed to exploit resource excess within our populations.
Conservatism, no matter what branch or ideology, is designed to benefit competitive groups that succeed in group competition.

I believe in adaptation WITHIN a species, not evolution from once species to another.
( assumes the standard definition of species which is to be able to reproduce its own kind)
Second, the behavior is more easily explained by the influence of Satan.
No, you just have to believe that replicating systems/organisms can adapt to rewards and punishments.
meh
Initial premise is incorrect
The loyd left is the only group trying to make it ya against them
They are the minority.
the behavior is more easily explained by the influence of Satan.
This does actually describe evolution within a species. A political evolution.
Yes, it is more easily explained by the influence of satan, but for many people, it is a good idea to explain the influence in a careful and thoughtful manner.
This takes time, thought, and prayer.
Thank you. I believe that this is what I wanted to say, but did not have the correct terms.
Sloppy philosophical thinking. Rather than seeing if a theory is true, it is fitting a theory to a preconceived notion.
“In America, you are either a Trump-supporter or not.”
In America the eligible voters that have chosen not to vote in presidential elections have outnumbered the turnout for any single political party for 100+ years. So you may be a Trump supporter or not I guess, but there are a heck of a lot of folks who don’t care enough to vote either way about Trump.

Either way, we must drive the leftists to extinction. Recognizing that Satan or natural selection will provide a new enemy to battle. Only next time we will be able to do it better.
very interesting, thanks.
I can accept this principle, when will they accept that these biological differences dont only exist in their safe, politically correct instances?
More like scavengers and thieves.
100%
Thank you for introducing me to the Curley Effect. That’s a good read.
As far as the r/K theory goes, my favorite quotes from the article are;
Q: What other creatures follow the r-strategy behaviors?
A: Aside from democrats and rabbits, similar behaviors have been observed in mice, rats, mosquitoes and cockroaches.
You’re welcome. I picked it up years ago from another FReeper post.
Yes. Yes.
Interesting read. He has some good points.
