I was frequenting hostile, opposition media for a while to get the Leftist viewpoint of the election. Nausea made me stop.

Could be one of two things, may be both.
Keep your friends close and your enemy closer, and or
watching a a horrible accident. You just can't turn away.

Maybe they're hoping Megyn Kelly will wear that spaghetti strap top/dress again that people are freaking out about:

Old people watch a lot of tv.

Old people are overwhelmingly conservative.


/End Thread.

What does that tell you after their lifetime of experience?

It tells me older generations grew up in a more conservative society and are used to it. Instinctually, human beings are afraid of change. It has nothing to do with "wisdom" as you seem to imply.

I was far more Liberal when I was in my late teens and 20's than I am now

But as I aged and experienced the real world I grew more Conservative

Or I grew up.

Like I said, instinctually humans are afraid of change and that becomes clear as they grow older and witness those changes.

I think the Left is secretly watching Fox. :lol:

Among single stations FOX does lead, it is about the only National "news" stations. Now add up the Liberal and Conservative stations and then the numbers are no longer in the favor of FOX or any conservative station. When Cons lead is in radio talk shows/stations, there the Cons rule among the faithful.

And young people lack the wisdom to know that change for the sake of change can be very destructive.

Some, like myself, have become more liberal as we grew older.

Take gay rights for example. Most young kids of the 80s and 90s looked down on homosexuals or anyone who is "different." When those kids got older they began to embrace the difference and honor the rights of others.

Why don't you tell me what wisdom is involved in fixing something that already works?

So for example, you agree that men who think their women should be allowed to use the womems restroom ?

Thats their " right " ?? What about the rights of all the women and young girls who oppose grown mem following them into a ladies restroom ?

Some young people are certainly idealistic and misguided at times. Then again, an inventor can go through thousands of experiments before getting the perfect result. Conservatives would rather not experiment at all.

Too confusing for you?
Add up the number of FOX viewers then add up the viewers of the "Liberal" news stations, so who are the majority of viewers watching? Clue: it is not FOX.

Huh ? More like Conservatives dont want to experiment with failed experiments.

We see wisdom in what works, in tradition and social norms.

We think its foolish to try something " new " thats failed and failed again.
again

Like Socialism or Single payer

It's confusing for anyone conversant in English, because it made no sense.

If you had said that the first time, there wouldn't have been any confusion.

Family responsibility as opposed to community responsilibilty for your children. Consequences for actions. Leaving what people think of others out of the law.
