Actually Republicans are more likely to work out than Democrats, because Republicans tend to be tougher, more competitive people and harder workers. It's not surprising that military personnel, cops, and firefighters are overwhelmingly conservative. Then there are studies like this:
"In the International Journal of Epidemiology, S. V. Subramanian and Jessica Perkins write that, after controlling for age, sex, race, marital status, religious service attendance, highest educational degree, and total family income, Republicans were 25% less likely than Democrats to report being in poor health. They find a key component of this to be smoking: after controlling for that above list of variables, Republicans were 15% less likely to be smokers...
'The observation that republicans enjoy better health status may reflect the core republican value of individual responsibility, which could translate into increased adherence to health-promoting behaviours. . . . It may also be that republicans exhibit greater religiosity (beyond attendance) compared with democrats, which may lead to health promoting social conditions such as enhanced social ties and networks. Alternatively, it is possible that our measures of SES (income and education) are inadequate in terms of controlling for one’s SES. The effects of identifying with the republican party, however, did not alter substantially in unadjusted and adjusted models....
Whether one’s political ideology is an independent risk factor, or a marker of something else, clearly requires further research. It does not seem implausible, however, that conservative values at the individual level may be health promoting.'"

Your entire rant is moot. I wrote Trump supporters.

LOL! There's so much overlap that what's true when Republicans are contrasted with Democrats is true when "Trump supporters" are contrasted with Trump haters. Even the scientific study ties "conservative" values to "Republicans", and there's more distinction between Republicans and conservatives than Republicans and Trump supporters.
I know how to read. You should learn how to think.

Krl97a, that's not true! May be true for FEW republicans but not all. 80% of them are lazy, entitled, selfish, gullible, greedy and only think about one person......themselves. They believe lies that people tell
Them.
Democrats on the other hand are realistic, smart, caring, and better decision makers. Since 2016, Orange Clown has NOT done a single positive thing. He was disliked from the start but was given the benefit of the doubt (which everyone deserves) but he failed us! especially now in 2020.

Everything you said is false, Wildflower101, and it's telling that after double posting for some reason you were too lazy to fix it.
