re: #108 calochortus

Bolding mine.

I would be really interested to know the percentage of conservatives vs liberals who need to “feel special.” Most of my liberal friends/family don’t feel a need to be “recognized” or made to feel special. We’re pretty comfortable with who we are.
I have heard a certain number of comments from conservatives about wanting to be able to continue to do something or have access to something because it makes them feel special, or they deserve recognition.
This may be entirely due to chance rather than any actual statistical validity, but it does make me wonder.

I’m inclined to believe that there’s some validity to this. After all, the very campaign slogan suggests that there was a time when America was a better place…
It was a great time — a time when you could disenfranchise whole segments of the population, and one could grope women, great women they were, back then, because they knew to keep those traps shut! Everyone knew who was boss. //
