re: #384 iceweasel

That’s interesting, but bear in mind that more people self-identify as ‘conservative’ rather than as ‘liberal’, in part because of the successful demonisation of the word ‘liberal’. This doesn’t cross over into party affiliation— there are people that always vote or are registered Democrat, but call themselves ‘conservative’.

I think there’s a demonization of the word “conservative” now.

Although, I GUARANTEE, there are a crapload of closet conservatives. I also guarantee, if you gave a basic questionnaire with a bunch of questions, the average person who doesn’t have any real preconceived notions about either side will come out on the conservative side.
