i've always wondered what makes Vermont whites so much more liberal then the rest of the white population elsewhere. Is it possible to take a stereotypical white in Tennessee or Oklahoma and tinker with the genes to make them behave like Vermont whites (without of course telling them what the intent is)

Assuming we understood genetics better and had the tools with which to manipulate individual sequences of DNA, we could do much more interesting things than influence voting patterns.

well I'm worried that white liberals are in the process of being extinct and that the foaming at the mouth types will soon outnumber them greater than 2:1. So its really psychology. How do you turn a foaming at the mouth type into the type of person who lives in western Massachusetts or Vermont?

That's why the government needs to stop paying conservatives to have kids.

you talking about this?

I mean its not like liberals go out and get a bunch of abortions. The abortion rate is probably just stabilizing after falling by like 20 or 30 some odd percent. It could simply be a function of rural working class and poverty whites either not knowing how to use a condom when they are 16 or are so ashamed about having sex, that they don't go out to buy condoms out of fear that their dad will beat them or that they will be banned from church.

There's just fewer teen pregnancies amongst middle class and upper middle class urban whites than they are working and poverty rural and exurban whites. Beyond that, it could be there are fewer planned births in urban areas simply because though they make maybe twice as much in Chicago as they do in Muncie, it costs three times as much to raise a child to maturity...and that goes to the reason they vote Democrat in the first place.

So the only thing I need to say is that Republicans probably have more kids because they can afford to even though they might not make more money. I mean, even Catholic illegals have stopped having kids in the last couple of years.

well what do you think the best way to make the COL in Texas the same as in California?

Who cares if white liberals are "going extinct" (a highly dubious claim as it is, lol)

By that, I mean what about black, Latino, and Asian liberals? Why get worried about white people? Seems kinda racist to me.

its all good to have Sidney Poitiers in the fold too.
