Since Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential Election I've noticed that a lot of the Trump hating leftist on this forum also just happen to be female and make frequent posts in the cat forum on CD.

So could this be a simple coincidence or do you think that lonely cat obsessed women and left wing politics go hand in hand?

It's clear that a lot of the people here who hate Trump the most are just miserable people in real life (if they indeed have one), I wonder if Trump just happens to be the latest target for their endless frustration with life or if this is new hate that started with their crushing defeat on Nov. 8th.

Sounds like you're a stalker.

Unless you regularly visit the Cat forum yourself. Let's see...that would make you a cat-loving male who voted for Tramp. If there's one, there are probably others.

Kind of messes up your theory.

I haven't visited the cat forum, I've just noticed that there seems to be a connection between people who participate a lot there and people who hate Donald Trump. Please try to follow along, this is simple.

This is called "A false correlation".

It is what happens when someone mistakes correlation with causation.

There is also a connection between candy sales and temperature. It does not mean the two are actually correlated, or in any way related. By implication, it is understood that one should not even consider them as being connected.

Maybe it is a "false correlation", I still find it quite interesting.

If you have never visited the Cat forum, how do you know who the people are who participate here and in the Cat forum unless you are stalking them?

I did not vote for Tramp. I have three dogs. No cats. Thread fail!
