    The fact that political identity apparently determines whether you use a Mac or an HP laptop is the level of specific detail I didn’t know I needed today. 😂

    I guess it would be kinda inappropriate to pictographically depict a pedo. Probably not enough room under the church anyway.

    I think the only ones I don’t do on either side is live in an apartment, eat sushi, own an electric car, or watch cnn and fox

    FINALLY! Someone mentions the grossly unacknowledged Starbucks-Pepsi political divide!

      Yeah, they blew that one. But, I suspect it’s because they associate “fast food” with KFC, over McDonald’s. Although, I think McD’s is nearly as well known, if not as well liked there?

      I remember reading something about the political divides in US sports fandoms.

      If I recall correctly, the NFL and MLB are both pretty balanced across the political spectrum.

      The NBA has more Democratic fans, which is largely demographic correlation with having more black fans. College football is arguably the quintessential Republican sport. Again, I think that’s largely demographics, though, because college football is more popular in areas without NFL teams (more rural areas).

      I think demographic spillover to some extent. Basketball is seen as more of an African american sport (vs hard racism). Rural areas are also more likely have to have a gas station with a 44-64oz/1-2L fountain drink vs urban coffee shops. Macs are viewed as more artistic and high end

      Well Starbucks has been hardcore screwing over their workers so they are on the shit list.

      I don’t know what the people are doing at the top.

        I think the people at the top are supposed to represent the ideal that the side wants. Republican farters want women in dresses and men in suits (likely doing business), where the democrats want, I guess, casual friday? It’s accurate for the red dicks, at least.

      Baseball is kinda a more old school and traditional sport, while basketball is more hip and new.

      At first glance I thought the catcher is pointing a gun towards the other guy’s ass.

    For those interested in the etymology of the party names at the top:

    The democrat side uses the characters “the people”, “lord”, and “party”. My interpretation is “the people are in charge party”, which makes sense because democracy is “the rule of the people”.

    The republican side uses the characters “share”, “peace”, and “party”. To me, this one doesn’t have an interpretation that obviously links to republicanism.

      共 - here meaning “together”, “joint” or “common”

      和 - here meaning peace or harmony.

      The connection here is a peace/harmony/order (because peace/harmony stems from order) that comes from “together” or “joint” (rule). Hence, republicanism (as in the ruling system).

      It is the literal translation of the names of the parties.

      Democracy party

      Republicanism party

      Yeah, no. Republicans and sharing are two words that won’t fit into the same sentence

        I think it’s a pretty good translation of the word; “Republicans” ostensibly would support a “republic”, which is governed supposedly for the common good by mechanisms which are not really explained or examined and definitely distinct from just letting people do whatever they agree on like under one of those gross dirty democracies. “Common harmony” captures the same good-vibes/no-plan energy.

        Of course, what they’ve got now aren’t even actual republicans, because, like their favorite model of Rome, republics love to become empires.

    I like that they think the business professionals just spend the day eating KFC in their pickup truck while listening to Morgan Wallen.

    Although the catcher with a handgun is somewhat correct.

      I mean, have you lived in the south? Not too far off base
