Probably trueActually, the two "tents" break down pretty much as follows:
The Democrat "tent" houses all of those who believe that Government is the instrument that will make their lives better.
The Republican "tent" houses those who are confident in their own ability to make their own lives better and want the Government to leave them the fuck alone.
The unfortunate reality is that as the Progs gain more and more power, they create more and more programs that are intended to make people dependent on government ("free" college, "free" healthcare, etc.), and therefore willing to get into their tent of misfits and dependents.
This is not a positive development, just as Soetoro's "accomplishment" of doubling the number of people on SNAP was not a positive development.
Democrats want Government to help those who need help.
They want Government to provide social services. Healthcare, Education, Welfare
Republicans believe more in survival of the fittest. Help business and the wealthy and everything else will take care of itself. If you can’t cut it, it is your own fault
