2. Just imagine the responses you would get

Posting this pix on a right wing site.

[riversedge]

25. Oh no!! I fear you are right. damn!!

[Divine Discontent]

42. Oh of course the Deplorables were surely hateful as the devil, but I see it's still up, but just

as a different tweet. I read some of the responses from people who would be cruel to a kid, well that's your standard Trump voter!!! We know what's in their hearts, they show it at every rally, so no shock they mock his being weak and a beta male, and other immature BS that shows their depravity.

I commend him for being strong willed.

[SunSeeker]

8. Love it!

[mchill]

9. Kudos to your son!!!

[Blue Idaho]

11. What a cool kid! nt.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

13. Great costume. Very cute. n/t

[Hortensis]

14. I'm proud of him and he's not even ours.

What a great kid!

I remember realizing our son was liberal and our daughter distinctly more conservative at those ages after a psychologist explained that orientations were already determined and being displayed in many ways. Boy, was the truth of that immediately obvious when I looked!

[forjusticethunders]

16. Is it really determined at birth?

I actually had a hardcore libertarian phase in my late teen years (mostly because I bought into the idea that libertarianism would magically produce prosperity for all), after being mainstream liberal as a younger teen. Ironically, that phase led me to reexamine socialism which is where I'm at now, though I've grown somewhat less doctrinaire.

[jmowreader]

29. A lot of people have a teenage fling with libertarianism

The libertarian doctrine that "I can take care of myself better than the government can" sounds good until you find out two things: the government isn't "taking care of anyone" and if they were, some people really need it.

[forjusticethunders]

30. yeah but if people's political leanings were genetic

then wouldn't such flings be far less frequent? unless I'm overexaggerating the point. My attraction to libertarianism wasn't even that, though, it was more like "the system is fucked because the evil gubmint is fucking everything up", this was in the wake of the crisis.

[Hortensis]

31. PERSONALITY is genetically linked, environmentally influenced.

Liberal and conservative are the 2, or the 2 main, personality orientations.

From all this come our political orientations, and I've read that most people actually hold a broad range of political opinions, our overall orientation identified by the whole.

"Libertarian" personality, btw, is quite different from either and may just be its own type, which is why I think of true libertarians versus temporary or fad ones (such as possibly the Lib Party's presidential and VP candidates this year). Both liberals and conservatives have full baskets of values and are altruistic toward others--cons to those in their circles, liberals to larger groups, but still similar.

True libertarians by personality (strongly suspect Paul Ryan is one) have one main moral--personal liberty. All other morals are strongly subjugated to that in various degrees depending on how "strong" the libertarianism; in some, other values may be almost nonexistent. And they are very low in altruism. These aren't people who risk their lives for others or who sacrifice anything for the wellbeing of others. The glorification of selfishness in their philosophy comes from the gut. It really is all about "me" for them. Fortunately, true libertarians are thought to be only maybe...13% of the population.

The rest are "shopping cart" versions, mostly conservatives, who adopt a few positions they like, such as no or very low taxes, and don't understand the rest.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

43. Fascinating!

I knew about the innate nature of liberalism vs conservatism, but hadn't seen anything about libertarianism.

Well, hardwired libertarianism sure sounds like psychopathy, which is also genetically linked and exhibits brain differences--smaller amygdalla than the norm.

[lostnfound]

47. Government "takes care of" big business and the well-connected

unfortunately the people who need it often get scraps or nothing.

[erronis]

44. I think this an important discussion - relevant to this election and most other social conversations

Perhaps I'm not very tuned in to the ways that age/sex/education/background influence how we look at things like politics, sexual orientation, racism/classism/tribalism but I think most of us go through several stages of identification and re-indentification as we age/mature.

Having had several children mature through several life phases, I'm willing to accept that most normal creatures do the same. My hope is that we can nurture these explorations all along the way, even if they are against our own currently-held views.

[fun n serious]

15. Thank you!

I needed something cute to make me smile today. What a cutie and how fun!

[William769]

17. Now thats refreshing!

[retrowire]

18. lol awesome.

I just hope they only have friendly reactions tonight.

[elmac]

19. Great kid!

& will make a great president some day.

[longtimelistener]

20. Awesome little HRCer

Realistic AF, down to the bags under his eyes. I do hope you explained that pretending to be HRC comes with responsibility, which can be demonstrated by making him stay awake for 72 hours straight. #kudosandvibestothefam

[Laser102]

21. Now that's an upstanding young man. You must be very proud of him. I would be. Excellent.

[AwakeAtLast]

22. Oh, how much do I love this?

This much!

[Moonwalk]

23. He even got down the smile and the wave! I expect there's going to be a ton of candy...

...in that clever box he's carrying. Good on the parents, too! What a great outfit they created! And that costume is going to be one of his and his family's most fun memories. I imagine he got his photo taken by everyone who opened their doors.

[riversedge]

24. I showed it to my 91 year old mom today. I also drove her to early absentee vote

after that. Great day all around. And of course she voted for Hillary--and Russ Feingold.

[WillParkinson]

49. We did the same...

Johnson has to go, and then he can take his buddies with him.

[unitedwethrive]

26. Love that kid!!

[skylucy]

28. That is adorable!!!

[sheshe2]

32. Adorable!

[MoonRiver]

33. How adorable!

[spedtr90]

35. Awesome!

[Eleanors38]

36. Pretty good!

[Rock On]

37. Super !!!!

My daughter dressed as John Kerry one year. It was totally her idea.The workers at the Democratic headquarters loved it. Thank you for raising such a brilliant child !!!!!

[stage left]

38. That is so, so cute!

He's got Hillary's great hair.

[Divine Discontent]

39. My entire dish of candy into the bag!

Seriously, this is how confident and smart every child should be. If he heard negative "Oh Lord!" reactions, he should smile and say just getting the country ready for the next president! Or I'm with her! Lol. I'm sure he has already got some clever responses ready, because one does not simply dress as the first female president and not have a witty retort!

Thank you so much for the smile. Truly!!!

[Divine Discontent]

40. Wouldn't be surprised if he got interviewed or a shout out or two

I don't know how much attention he'd be okay with, but with how frustrating this particular election has been it is awesome to see this, as you clearly see from the response! Hehe

[Borchkins]

41. Brilliant!

[demigoddess]

45. Such a brilliant guy! You must be so proud!!!

He will get tons of candy!

[Bucky]

46. Without the H-arrow, he could pull off a Twiggy

Several years ago two twins came to my house done up as Bush and Gore. I told the Gore kid what a great job he did putting together his costume... and then gave all the candy to the Bush kid.

[Divine Discontent]

53. why did the Bush kid get it all? LOL

[Dem2]

48. OK, that's pretty cool

[TNNurse]

50. We live out in the country

and rarely get trick or treaters..I have a little candy just in case. I would gladly give it all to him.

[Divine Discontent]

52. LOL, that's what I said above.

I had 40 candy bars just in case as well. He would have gotten them all for being so confident, brave, and a perfectly done costume.

[trocar]

51. Cutie

Your son is cute. I hope he has fun trick or treating

[lupinella]

54. Loved this!

Great family!

[burrowowl]

55. Great Kid Great Photo
