Today's Beau

The parties are not the same. We can drop the Both Sides crap because - well, because it's crap.

Hypothetical:

• Your buddy needs a ride home from the Pride Parade.
• He's dressed to look the part - shiny boots, short shorts, crop top, and rainbow hair.
• You decide you should stop in for a beer or two, and when you're inside, you notice you need to go a few doors down and hit the ATM.
• You excuse yourself, and leave him at the bar for a few minutes.

• In one instance, you notice some of the other patrons are wearing band t-shirts or kinda quasi-hippie-looking garb, some of the men have ponytails, etc. Classic Rock is playing on the overhead.
• In a second instance, about half the the men are wearing MAGA hats, and there's a few Let's Go Brandon shirts, and some of the ladies are decked out with several pounds of costume jewelry, and big hair. The music is Toby Keith and Lee Greenwood.

Based solely on appearances, you have to know that the first gang is pretty likely to lean to the "liberal" side - and they'll be voting mostly Democrat.

You can be just as sure that the second gang is prob'ly pretty "conservative', voting Republican.

Question: Which crowd do you feel more comfortable leaving your friend alone with?
