People support ideas based on whose ideas they are

You can't embed the plot, but they ask a series of questions and the results suggest that everyone is full of crap.

Example: they say either Obama or Trump supports universal health care. Do you agree with him?

82% of Dems agree if it's Obama's idea, 46% agree if it's Trump's idea.
16% of Reps agree if it's Obama's idea, 44% agree if it's Trump's idea.

I think the results show that people put more stock in their trust of a candidate/party than they do their own ability to learn about an issue.

I never believe a word of anything in The Huffington Post.

The results clearly show democrats are significantly more prejudiced. They may not all be racists like michturd but they're clearly a bunch of hateful, prejudiced ideologues and automatons - like he michturd.

I have mixed feelings about repealing the Public Affairs Act of 1975.

I've had mixed feelings since 1975 when I was 15 years old.

And don't even get me started on unicorns and leprechauns.

Hey, if we changed Democrats and Rebublicans from donkeys and elephants to unicorns and leprechauns, which would be the unicorns and which would be the leprechauns?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or genuinely stupid. Of course it's likely you're a genuinely stupid person being sarcastic.

I think of leprechauns as being democrats due to the Boston Celtics, what with Boston being so liberal and all. But then I take a pause and realize those greedy bastards are very Conservative with their desire to horde their riches and do everything they can to prevent others from having any.

Meanwhile unicorns just come across as flighty and unintelligent...like Palin and Pelosi.

So I'm torn and unfortunately have provided little help, but maybe this will help someone else come to a clear determinant for which is which.

Too bad a strong-willed dragon doesn't take them both out. ��

I would say the Democrats are the leprechauns and the Republicans are the unicorns.
The Democrats will tell you "oh come with me, I have a pot of gold at the end of me rainbow..."

And the Republican unicorn will just stare you down, say nothing, and when you turn around it will charge you and ram you right up your ass…

 

[zyxt9]

Good points...and begs the question...when they team up with "bipartisan" bills, is the leprechaun riding the unicorn en route to that promised pot of gold?

Apologies - I misread the OP to say 16℅ of republicans automatically disagree...I was reading it on a small screen without my glasses while riding in a car after a few (possibly more) cocktails. Please disregard - except for the bit about champ being racist.
