"“Merry Christmas” vs. “Happy Holidays”: Republicans and Democrats are Polar Opposites"

The actual data shows that Christmas is becoming more cultural and less religious. Not surprising, since Christmas is tied very closely to merchandising and non-Christians are becoming a strong economic force (consumer wise). But under the headline is something more interesting.

"Political liberals are also far more likely than conservatives to say they removed someone from their social media circle due to what they shared online (28% vs. 8%, respectively). Eleven percent of moderates say they blocked, unfollowed, or unfriended someone due to what they posted online."

"There is also a substantial gender gap. Women are twice as likely as men to report removing people from their online social circle because of the political views they expressed online (18% vs. 9%, respectively). Notably, the gender gap also differs significantly across political affiliation. Three in ten (30%) Democratic women say they removed an individual from their online social network because of a political opinion they expressed, while only 14% of Democratic men reported doing this. Republican men and women are about equally as likely to say they blocked, unfollowed, or unfriended someone on social media because of political posts (10% vs. 8%, respectively)."

Apparently republicans are more equal than democrats.

Here is to hoping that I wake up tomorrow and elections are over.

Because, election is the only logical reason I can think of as to why this place is turning in to next Kuro5hin.

The crazies are all out, the ACs are out and nothing of value gets posted here.
