Harvard: July 4th Parades Are Right-Wing


Democratic political candidates can skip this weekend's July 4th parades. A new Harvard University study finds that July 4th parades energize only Republicans, turn kids into Republicans, and help to boost the GOP turnout of adults on Election Day.

"Fourth of July celebrations in the United States shape the nation's political landscape by forming beliefs and increasing participation, primarily in favor of the Republican Party," said the report from Harvard.

...

The three key findings of those attending July 4th celebrations:
  • When done before the age of 18, it increases the likelihood of a youth identifying as a Republican by at least 2 percent.
  • It raises the likelihood that parade watchers will vote for a Republican candidate by 4 percent.
  • It boosts the likelihood a reveler will vote by about 1 percent and increases the chances they'll make a political contribution by 3 percent.
What's more, the impact isn't fleeting. "Surprisingly, the estimates show that the impact on political preferences is permanent, with no evidence of the effects depreciating as individuals become older,"said the Harvard report. Finally, the report suggests that if people are looking for a super-patriotic July 4th, though should head to Republican towns. "Republican adults celebrate Fourth of July more intensively in the first place."

If it rains, more democrats.

So, just as in everything else, republicans are blowholers, first sign of trouble they start running around hysterically and scream the sky is falling.  Apparently, this phenomenon has been studied and correlated since the Hoover administration.

More like gloryholers this year given the work they have ahead of em to coopt the gay vote.... I hope the GOP buys em all red white and blue kneepads instead of those stupid foam straw hats this year.

Funny that the spelling Nazis would try to come after me for that

As a lot of people misspell it "4th of July"

(Including the rubes at Haaaaaaaaaavad and NewsWeek)

As to the article, I grew up in small town Ohio, where there were always huge picnics and such on July 4th. The town itself was mostly republican, so it's not surprising that more of the kids grew up to be republicans.  I somehow doubt the fireworks, parades and picnics on one day had more to do with it than what the kids heard from their parents and their friends' parents every day.
