No we Independence always tend to vote for the lesser of two evils.
No matter how we voted, we always got the same damn globalist puppet, until Trump came along.
After Nixon, Carter had to be the savior. Carter just plain sucked and Reagan was the opposite.... at first, then he went full on globalist. Then I thought Bush would be able to carry Reagans economic outlook, but right back to getting the same old same ol. Clinton had to be different... Nope, by his second term, I was turned off(Yes I voted Clinton in 92)
Ron Paul caught my attention and it was eye opening. Clinton, Bush2 and Obama. ALL the same bird, with different wings. Puppets for their global masters.
Then came Trump. Now this guy is not like the others at all. He is telling us stuff we should have known long ago. He is letting us know in real time what he is doing and where he is going.
This one is NOTHING LIKE THE OTHERS. The others that sold us down the many rivers.
In making that call, I never really look at race, age, or gender. I can generally tell after talking with them for a short time or even just being around them and observing their behavior. Their mannerisms, appearance, and tendencies generally make it pretty clear.
Even their speech patterns. That is the most interesting challenge. I can generally listen to a voice on the radio (assuming I don't know the voice) for a short time and guess which side they fall on the political spectrum, just based on the sound of their voice, speech patterns, inflections, and word usage. Frequent use of certain words are a dead giveaway.
On a related note, lately the "little girl voice" has been an obvious giveaway. I'm not sure what the deal is, but so many female radio newscasters have settled into this really annoying little girl thing in their speech pitch and inflections--especially the rise in pitch at the end of phrases. EVERY phrase. Very annoying. It's like a completely-unsure-about-everything-in-life valley girl and kindergartner combined.

How accurate do you think you would be in identifying a persons party affiliation just by looking at them?
50 year old black guy....probably democrat. 60 year old white guy with a resting frown face.....Republican.
Nothing like judging a book by it's cover.
I at least wait until the person starts talking to peg them as a Rep or a Dem. What is funny is that the Dems are usually easy to figure out because they are the ones that are angry, bitter and deranged.
Better than even odds, not perfectly. Geography, race, gender, age, socioeconomic status, choice of clothing, facial structure, how well groomed they are, context you see them in etc. can all be good signals. Geography/race/age/SES you're just looking for membership of groups which in aggregate lean one way or the other. In terms of individual appearance individuals which are very masculine/feminine in line with their gender will tend to be more Republican (and vice-versa), as will people who put more care into the details of their day-to-day personal appearance (what I mean by day-to-day is being in shape isn't a tell but wearing frayed clothing or having half-done nails is). Visible tattoos and colored hair are very strong Democrat indicators, dressing in way that is formal to the point of mild social inappropriateness is a very strong Republican indicator.
If I was given a person's age, income, profession and race, I bet I could guess their political party affiliation over 75% of the time. where they live in the US isn't very important.
I can tell by inspecting the knuckles. Republicans have bruised and raw knuckles from dragging them while they walk. Seriously, education is a better predictor these days than any physical characteristic.
I am a Hispanic female from Texas who married into a White European family that now resides all over the US. They are citizens now. Nobody in my husband's family will ever vote for any republicans and are shocked that minorities like my family would vote red. I have a tendency to vote republican but not always and I will never vote for Donald Trump. However, his rise to the presidency did not surprise me because of my experience of growing up in Texas. It was just a matter of time.
3. 78, ~$50, retiree (Director of logistics organization, federal service), Caucasian
4. 50, ~$200k, technology sales, mixed race
Go!
1. democrat, based on profession.
2. republican
3. democrat
4. democrat
However, I doubt you know any republicans or at least any republicans who would choose to admit their real political views to you, random.
