"Mike, does this thing work?"
Yuan Yanqian made fun of the other party not by the prior knowledge of the traverser, but by the common sense of an American at that time...... Common sense for a man who understands American politics in 1920.
Mike wasn't angry either, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't think it's useful either, I didn't go to the poll anyway." ”
He looked at the professor in the distance and found that people didn't notice him, so he leaned over and lowered his voice: "But you know, our professor is a hardcore of the Democratic Party, and he went to vote early this morning, and probably got some stimulation at the polling station, so he pulled us out and handed out leaflets." ”
"That's how it turned out this year, anyway. We've sinned against him if we don't come out. ”
"Hahaha, I see." Our Master Yuan laughed, returned the flyer to the other party and said, "Then you can send it slowly, I'll go to school first." Goodbye, Mike. ”
"Goodbye, Neo."
"Sir, please support the Democratic Party...... What, you've already finished voting, that's bothering. ”
“……”
"Ah, you say Wilson is a British spy? Well, it's a little bit of a possibility. ”
“……”
"Wilson was raised by a female cousin? It's not good to say that our current president is ......."
“……”
"Don't spit, sir! Why do I send out pro-Democrat leaflets, you ask? Didn't I want to pass! ”
Listening to the conversation between Mike and passers-by behind him, the melancholy Master Yuan couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth, the US election is really fun.
For example, the 2016 U.S. election that Yuan Hongjian just experienced. The mainstream media all over the world (even including a big country in the East) did everything they could to praise Hillary Clinton and whitewash her, and CBS (CBS) even deliberately filmed a "conscience drama" that blackened a big country in the East - "The Female Secretary of State".
They unanimously referred to her as the conscience of the world, a symbol of feminism, a defender of liberal democracy, a savior of greater America, a guardian of traditional family values, an ally of minorities, and a supporter of LGBTs...... Hang the right wings and become an angel.
In short, the Eastern and Western media occupied by the White Left were in a tone of "Xi Po does not come out, and Na Cangsheng is born".
In turn, they portray His Majesty Trump as an upstart who is full of copper stench and often goes bankrupt, a good-for-nothing pretending to be on reality shows, and a nymphomaniac who discriminates against women and even has indecent feelings for his daughter...... A pinch of mustache becomes a mustache, and I have to say that the mustache is really in love with his niece.
As a result, American voters have their own scales in their hearts. What's wrong with not being able to control the crotch of your pants, it's better than sending state secret documents to your own private server, let alone Hillary's whole bunch of.
To tell the truth, is there still one less commander in the history of the United States who can't control his crotch? No, one will go up right now.
Unlike in 2016, the 1920 election was won and lost before the vote was cast......
"Neo!"
Hearing the greeting, our Master Yuan looked back and saw his classmate, Mr. Louis Baker, and Mr. John McCall beside him, followed by a group of Stern College master's students.
However, most of them had very ugly faces, especially Mr. Baker, who was in the head, as if he was in debt like someone.
Yuan Yanqian understood in a turn of his mind that it was estimated that they had just returned from the polling station. Needless to say, the little Mr. Baker, who is "in the hell of capitalism and looking up to the paradise of socialism," must be as Democratic as the "little" Jewish professor.
As a hundred years later, the majority of non-conservative intellectuals and minorities in 1920 supported the Democratic Party.
Of course, our Master Yuan is now a neo-liberal guru, and he definitely wants to support the Republican Party.
The reason is very simple, the Republican Party is more "free" than the Democratic Party, and this "free" momentum is brought out by the Republican Party from the womb.
The name Democratic-Party was adopted during the presidency of Andrew Jackson (1829-1837), but its origins can be traced back to Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republican Party founded in 1792, making it the oldest political party in the world.
Of course, the term "party" here refers to the bourgeois party used to act as a campaign machine, and the party of the well-organized socialist-Leninist style is fundamentally different.
The Republican-Party was founded in 1854, more than half a century after the Democratic Party. It was a coalition of former Whig members, Northern Democrats, and slave emancipation activists who founded the organization to oppose slavery. Republicans believe that the true morality and values of the United States are the so-called "free soil, free labor, free man" principle.
Although it is much younger than the Democratic Party, it is counting from the time Abraham Lincoln became the first Republican to ascend to the throne, 19 of the 30 presidents to His Majesty Trump are Republicans, and 10 of the 16 presidents from Lincoln to Roosevelt are Republicans. In short, after the Republican Party was founded, two-thirds of the presidents were their people.
The reasons for this are complicated, but they are really a bit complicated: first, the Republican Party was originally the political spokesperson of the financial and industrial capitalists in the Northeast; Second, the victory and dividends of the Civil War made the Republican Party more powerful and stronger than the Democratic Party; Third, mainstream voters in the United States are more likely to accept the relatively conservative Republican Party in terms of values. Since the emancipation, the Republican Party has been much more conservative than the Democrats on many issues, especially economic issues.
But if it's simple, it's really simple: the richer people are, the more they like "freedom".
In short, freedom is really a good thing. Those who don't like freedom are either the poor and lazy Luthor, or the stupid forks in front of them who haven't figured out where their butts and heads are.
"Louie, well, Mr. McCall. Gentlemen. ”
Our Master Yuan turned around and raised his top hat to the fools...... Well, the classmates said hello.
Louis Baker walked over and said, "Neo, I'm looking for you." ”
Yuan Yanqian replied with a little surprise: "Oh, what is it? I'm looking for you, too. ”
They said enthusiastically, "My grandfather is very impressed with you, and I want to make an appointment with you to have a good chat." Availability for next weekend? By the way, do you play golf? ”
As soon as he said this, everyone present immediately showed a look of admiration. This Chinese really took shit luck, and was actually added by the "miracle of Wall Street" blue eyes, and asked him to play a small white ball, which is the rhythm of flying yellow and Tengda!
However, what this Chinese who had gone shit luck heard in his ears was a familiar cute call: "Pickup pickup!" ”。
He sighed inwardly, if the S value was not much, it would be okay to use a little historical foreknowledge in front of Mr. George Baker, but now......
