A silly thought I had yesterday, which is obviously peddling in generalities, yet maybe something to think about:
Old vs Young in politics
- Young criminals are republicans, successful old criminals are democrats
- Young non-criminals are democrats, successful old non-criminals are republicans
The thinking being that the freedom offered by the republicans is really attractive to criminals, but the successful criminals because they are obviously bad asses don’t want the next generation of criminals to take over so they turn democrat so they can control everything.
Maybe crap criminals realise this is happening and eventually decide to stay republican and get out of crime. At least then they have freedom.
And maybe it’s some sort of mirror image of this for non-criminals. #
