Which party voters "stereotype" is more true

I'm going rednecks-Republicans slightly since there are many labor Democrats that are anything but hippies and the Republicans have been gaining Dixie since the days of Barry Goldwater. If you ask me this question in 1960, I would have answer it differently. Hippies didn't exist around that time but another subculture similar to them, the Beatniks, probably weren't big voters of either party and more likely to vote third party.

Were beatniks even that political?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatnik

"Politics tended to be liberal; with support for causes such as desegregation (although many of the figures associated with the original Beat movement, particularly Jack Kerouac, embraced libertarian/conservative ideas). An openness to African-American culture and arts was apparent in literature and music, notably jazz. While Caen and other writers implied a connection with communism, there was no obvious or direct connection between the beat philosophy (as expressed by the leading authors of this literary movement) and the philosophy of the communist movement, other than the antipathy that both philosophies shared towards capitalism."

Two questions, what was the point of the thread and who voted for hippies outnumbering red necks?

I was tired and wanted to be random with you guys, so I created this thread. As for your second question, some Republicans I'm assuming that think the whole Democratic party is Democratic Underground.

Neither stereotype is all that great. A hippie strikes me as more of a third party stereotype (mostly Green, maybe some Libertarian) and the typical redneck (I'm using a rigid definition of the term here; living where I do gives me a depressingly keen ability to differentiate between the mere "southern hospitality" types and the total bumpkins) couldn't care less about politics. Nevertheless, I did vote redneck, since the general social consensus on what makes one a redneck is much less exclusionary than my personal opinion.

I've never met any rednecks nor hippies, since I live in a city (Dallas) with a metro population of 6.47 million.

Yet I see someone has an even more strict definition than mine.

I actually agree.

Most "rednecks" I know work at either Wal-mart or Target and spend most of their free time smoking dope and watching shows on Channel 9 or some other standard news channel.

And most of the rednecks I know try to be so manly that they come off as homoerotic.  Ironic, isn't it?  

So called "buffs" are more homosexual then they really think themselves when one looks inside a mirror. You know all the tackling and touching that shows their awesome, eye dripping, hair twisted, mind blogging homosexual skills for homophobic men. You get where I'm going with this...
