And while more lean toward the Republican Party than the Democratic Party, Young Outsiders express unfavorable opinions of both major parties. They are skeptical of activist government; a substantial majority views government as wasteful and inefficient. Yet they diverge from the other conservative typology groups\u00c2\u00a0 in their strong support for the environment and many liberal social policies.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-227\" src=\"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/youngoutsiders.png\" alt=\"youngoutsiders\" width=\"714\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/youngoutsiders.png 714w, https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/youngoutsiders-300x262.png 300w, https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/youngoutsiders-619x541.png 619w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/>And myself, I am\u00c2\u00a0in the 33% of &#8220;Young Outsiders&#8221; that lean more democrat than republican.\u00c2\u00a0 Shrug.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-228\" src=\"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Polit-1024x312.png\" alt=\"polit\" width=\"660\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Polit-1024x312.png 1024w, https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Polit-300x92.png 300w, https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Polit-768x234.png 768w, https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Polit-619x189.png 619w, https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Polit.png 1216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well, that ended up going somewhere I didn&#8217;t plan.\u00c2\u00a0 Hah.\u00c2\u00a0 Just like my life ;)\u00c2\u00a0 Mostly I wonder if there are blogs or youtube channels and forums and online chats with people more like me.\u00c2\u00a0 I can&#8217;t be the only moderately liberal person in the world who thinks being prepared is a good idea?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Browsing and googling and jumping from site is to site is most common for me when I am looking for specific information on any topic.\u00c2\u00a0 This leads me all over and\u00c2\u00a0while I&#8217;ve bookmarked a few blogs and information sites on preparedness and homesteading; I am not really spending a lot of time following specific pages [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,26],"tags":[40],"class_list":["post-226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","category-prepper-talk","tag-community"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=226"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":229,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226\/revisions\/229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
