| Message | From the point of view of a conservative middle class haven, maybe so. However, since when has that group ever represented a majority demographic, let alone the whole. |

| Message | what are those stats for exactly? (ooc: have been celebrating far too heavily to be able to interpret them). Also, it depends on how you define classes. either way, those figures can't be used to make any assertions on their political orientations. |
