whereby democrats tend to not value success like this, they value success though how they help others. so jobs like teaching, science, govt. law, are more attractive to progressives than blue collar jobs. they are OK with high taxes out of benevolence of the whole.

but one class is very busy denigrating the other as deplorable, when they both need each other. & that is the liberal ugly that is uglier than trump.

I agree with your explanation of different career types. Different personalities tend to gravitate towards different career paths. As you say, more cops are conservative while nurses and teachers tend to be more liberal and so on.

I am, however, a little amused about how you say that liberals are uglier than Trump which by default means uglier than the GOP. Sure, liberals call Trump supporters and conservatives deplorable among other things. That is too bad. It would be better if both sides respected each other. That said, it isn't like conservatives didn't just spend eight years calling Obama a terrorist, a Muslim and a million other things like libtard. More recently, anyone who didn't support Trump was a cuck or a snowflake. You do it yourself by using the phrase "dumb libs" whenever possible. If you don't want liberals calling conservatives bad names, you have to return the favor. Respect is a two way street.
