What they're all doing is signaling their loyalty to who they think will prevail in the long-term. I don't know where I read it but leftists only think in short term and have no clue how to play the long game.
It's because they're emotion-driven rather than logical thinkers. They do what feels good right now, instead of using logic to focus on long-term strategies with delayed gratification.
Exactly. You could probably tell who is left leaning and who is right leaning based on how far they think into the future.
Think about it: leftists are all about fast sex, quick abortions, stuffing your mouth with tasty food, censoring people who make you feel bad, profits over values etc. They don't think about long term consequences.
Right leaning people are about religion, raising children, protecting 2A, family values, free speech, a lot of them are built from gym etc. These are all the things that take a while and give much greater rewards in the future.
Seriously, next time assume someone's on the left / right based on their short vs long term reward system. You will be right over 90% of the time. This is concerning tho, because it implies that people are on a downward slope to leftism because more and more people care about short term. Oh well.
