CHELBI ROBINSON THE POLITICAL COMPASS

Varied lighthearted studies have been done on the correlation between political affiliation of a person and what beer they drink. Most graphs display the data as a scale of Democrat to Republican on the x axis, and voter turnout on the y axis. I began also questioning how these factors relate to income. I found that the most conservative beer with the lowest voter turnout is the least expensive, and the most liberal beer with the highest voter turnout is the most expensive. Conservative ideology preys on the working class and their goals of simply making ends meet. At the same time, they suppress the votes of the poor, pitting the classes against one another. This search to understand why the average working class conservative thinks the way they do may seem too forgiving considering social factors, but this understanding based on my experience with these exact people is perhaps helpful in us reaching the same goals.
