Obviously, except by comparing it to the evidence, we cannot confirm that your "personal observation" is an observation of reality rather than an observation of your own belief that is contradicted by the facts.

Are Republicans More Often Sheeple Compared to Democrats?
- Thread starter Nous
- Start date
How do you explain those changes in views and values that Mellman noted?
I recall that after the Access Hollywood tape, he said he couldn't look his 15-year-old daughter in the eye and vote for Trump. Did he flip-flop after that--just because Trump would have an "R" behind his name?
But all the evidence presented here so far indicates that Republicans have more of a tendency to change their views and values in this election in order to "follow the leader". You are welcomed to present any evidence to the contrary.
I don't know if the 'evidence' is valid or not.
No doubt one party would be more so than the other.
But the trait afflicts many on both sides.
Do you find find solace in some study claiming Republicans have
"more of a tendency" to change in order to follow the leader?
I wonder if Democrats are looking for validation in expert claims
that they're somehow better than Republicans?
No individual is made better or worse by a study of one's nominal group.
Present all your evidence showing that the demographics of Trump supporters that I quoted are wrong.
Polls by who? The mainstream that is full time in the can for SHillary? Anyway, my stats are from my own websites, some of which cover politics, and most of my comments are on my own audiences.Trump has high appeal with legal immigrants who are tired of being blamed for everything illegals do, and there are a large percentage of African-American voters who are voting Trump as well. (Mostly middle-class, but some lower class who are tired of the same old lies.) Trump also does well with small business owners, and the self-employed. because of 2A support.
Especially provide the evidence for that claim.
Hey if anything independents are less sheeple than an actual party affiliation. Just saying.
You haven't given us any reason to doubt the figures Mellman cited.

Wool-splitting.
What would be some good evidence that we can point to showing that Trump supporters are "smarter/more ethical/more honest"? Obviously not their educational achievements.
Could be.Hey if anything independents are less sheeple than an actual party affiliation. Just saying.
I think all this obsession with which group is better in some way is pure vanity.
Independent thinkers are to be found wherever they're found.
Even a Pub or Dem might be one, eh.
I never intended to.
Why argue for or against the irrelevant?

You haven't provided any reason to believe they can be used to explain a general truth.
Shouldn't you actually make a rigorous argument before demanding evidence from others?

Is the author the sme Mark Mellman who is a consultant to the Democratic Leadership. If so that, in and of itself, gives one reason for doubt
I ran across a better scientific study....
"Leading Democrats Agree That Democrats Are More Virtuous & Intelligent Than Republicans"
Do mere figures need to "explain a general truth"?
The figures Mellman cited certainly seem to lead to the conclusion that Republicans are more likely than Democrats to change their views and values in order to "follow the leader" this election.
Why?

You are kidding right?
I would love to see the reaction if a report was published that was titled' "Democrats, no where near as tough as Republicans" by Newt Gingrich
I remember being struck by how the protests against the wars completely
evaporated overnite when Obama was elected. He kept Bush's policies,
eg, support for the wars, keeping Gitmo open, but there was a sudden sea
change in Democratic values which is explained only by the regime change.
So no matter what any study (no matter how sciencey) shows, Democrats
exhibit that which they decry in Republicans.

We've had these conversations, I'm pretty sure you don't know what the term evidence means. Nor are you interested in searching out any yourself, so I'll save myself some time.
However, the largest increasing segments of gun owners are women and LGBT. They support the 2nd amendment and the Democrats and Hillary do not. At that point, there is no opinion that Trump is gaining support in those groups, despite any other claims. Most of my "opinion" actually comes from data I possess, but it's mine, personal, and I'm not sharing.
I value other peoples privacy more than I value my ego, so kick rocks.
