The Two Primary Differences in Dems And Republicans

 Political and Faith 

(1) Political Differences

This from Gallup Polling News:

Democrats Continue to Express Low U.S. Pride
22% to 76%
The latest overall declines in patriotism are largely driven by Democrats, whose self-reported pride has historically been lower and has fluctuated more than Republicans'.   Democrats' latest 22% extreme pride   reading is the group's lowest in Gallup's 19 years of measurement, and is half of what it was several months before Donald Trump's 2016 election victory.
For their part, most   Republicans have remained extremely proud of their country, and the latest 76%   reading is just 10 points below the high recorded in 2003. Even when Barack Obama was in office, Republicans' extreme pride never fell below 68%.
Independents have historically been less proud of the U.S. than Republicans have been; currently, 41% express extreme pride -- which is, by one point, the lowest reading in the trend.

Most, by far, Professing Christians are Patriotic

"Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness." 1 Thess.5:5

There are children of the light and children of the night and 
their faith, lack of it, or perversion of it affects their minds.
The real difference in people is their true or false faith. RB
