    I liked the image I saw a few days back. Conservatives will play to your base needs (food/water, shelter, family), while Liberals/Socialists expect selflessness and assume all your needs are already met, including self-fulfilment.

    Especially in the poorer and war torn regions of the world, the former is magnitudes more appealing. If non-extremist groups want to have a chance, they need to cover the bases first.

      That’s a good elevator speech, can I borrow it? Christmas dinner with my mom’s side of the family is coming up quick.

        Of course, lemme look for the original.

        E: can’t find it anymore. It speaks about the top and bottom three layers of Maslow’s pyramid and how liberals expect transcendence and selflessness, while conservatives falsely promise the bottom three layers and act like the rest don’t matter.
