    That's a realistic analogy. Not all humans evolved the same way. As strange as it may sound, there are people who seem to have survived hundreds of generations with caveman mentality. They don't think for themselves, they are impulsive, and they think that they should have
    what others have just because they can see what we have.

    I speculate that when the Industrial Revolution hit, those hunter-gatherer types were effectively pushed out of society. There were still some, but they didn't have the resources to do anything, so never got powerful.

    Other areas that didn't get industrialized kept the old hunter-gatherer mentality and that mentality moved with them as they moved. Ex: The old American South.

    We need physical division representative to our political division; we need the free thinkers to band together in the southeastern states to
    do the farmwork, and the hunter-gatherers to band together in the
    northern states to hunt all the wild animals to extinction.

    Ick. I never did like Hunger Games. :)

    I believe there is some truth to this, but the only hole in it is that not all my relatives are MAGA, but then again, some of them could have inherited different genes.

    There are good looking women on both sides, so some mixing has taken place at some point.

    I don't think it's a gene thing. I think it's an attitude thing and that attitude is learned.

    Purple hair, nose rings and tattoos are not "good looking" in my book.

    I think all the truely good looking ones have slipped out of the radical camp but are sitting in their apartments, lonely, wondering why a nice guy doesn't knock on their door and pay their expenses.
