67 A first-generation middle-class person with working-class parents and average television and movie going habits.

Close enough, though I'm positive I have below average movie and TV watching habits...

I agree. Close enough even if I rarely watch TV anymore, and don't go to the movies all that often.

I go to the movies MAYBE once a year these days... I watch literally zero shows (sitcoms/dramas) at all anymore... just educational, sports and culinary stuff.

I have no interest in any shows anymore. I only go see the Marvel releases in theaters. I didn't think this would be the case just 5 years ago.

 

[zelezo vlk]

I see movies often but barely watch any shows. I scored 40 and can't really argue against it.

I could have saved you all the time and just told ya'll that you were all far less worldly than I was...

71. I imagine my military service had a large impact because my movie and tv game are weak.

Is it bad that the only reason I knew the military insignia was from M*A*S*H?

Nothing wrong with that, MASH is still my all-time favorite show.

It's my second favorite all time (after The Office), and my dad was 16 when it went off the air, so that tells you something.

Damn. I was 2 when it aired its last episode.

33. Pretty sure like 98% of my score comes from having relatives in middle-of-nowhere Missouri that I've visited recently...

And I like Survivor.

You live in a mud hut back in the Everglades or something?

 

[Buster Bluth]

48. I think I threw it off a bit because while I live in a rural town of ~2,000 and could check all of those questions, I commuted up to 45min everyday to private schools in the city. And while my dad was blue collar, he owned the company soooo can I still drink with my pinky up guys? pls?

 

[NorthDakota]

50. I think it my childhood in a small town(<1000 pop.) really had an impact there. No one there went to college for farming so of course I lived in a hood without college graduates.

Parents are certainly not working class.

Technically not about the Presidential election but worth reading just to laugh (and maybe cry).
Getting to Know Robert Morrow: Newly elected GOP county chair causing a Republican revolt - News - The Austin Chronicle

How this guy got elected to anything is truly mind boggling.

“Pretty sure George W. Bush can suck a dick better than Hillary Clinton”) as well as his promotion of pet conspiracy theories, including the insistence that Lyndon Baines Johnson facilitated the murder of John F. Kennedy Jr. and belief that Rick Perry and many in the Bush family are engaged in homosexual adultery, have put the local and state GOP on the attack, compelling them to mount a no-holds-barred campaign to unseat the freshly minted chair.

is political priorities include free speech, low taxes, and lax gun laws: “I think the ATF should be a corner convenience store where you buy your alcohol, tobacco, and firearms,” he says. Less vehement about the social issues, Morrow is pro-choice and against same-sex marriage. When asked about immigration, his trademark lewdness creeps up: We should build a wall to “keep all the sexy Mexican Latinas inside the U.S.”

By 2005, Morrow shed his loyalty to both parties after conducting deep research into the Bushes and Clintons, the latter yielding his latest project, Clintons’ War on Women, a book co-authored with former Trump advisor Roger Stone. In it, the authors make the case that Bill Clinton is a serial rapist, and both he and Hillary “systematically abused women sexually and psychologically” while climbing up the political ladder. They accuse Hillary of silencing Bill’s victims, and allege Bill had a child with a prostitute. Even darker, it accuses Bill of coordinating the savage beating of Gary Johnson, who allegedly had security footage of Bill entering former mistress Gennifer Flowers’ condo. Morrow also credits Hillary for making the final decision to launch a tear gas attack at the Branch Davidian Waco compound in 1993, which led to the death of 76 people. “The Clintons are violent people, it’s not like I just disagree with their tax policy,” says Morrow.

However, Morrow is most interested in perpetuating the idea that LBJ, using the CIA, orchestrated the JFK assassination. “I can go toe-to-toe with any researcher or mainstream historian on the topic,” contends Morrow, who says he was convinced of the claim after 15 minutes of reading about it on an online thread.

Morrow subscribes to accusations that slam the right, as well: George H.W. Bush covered up LBJ’s involvement with the JFK assassination; H.W. and his son Jeb were involved in running the Iran-Contra scandal; H.W. was part of a homosexual pedophile ring. Morrow claims Marco Rubio enjoys “gay foam parties” and contends that Perry has engaged in several gay affairs; Morrow took out an ad in this very paper in 2011 calling on anyone who had sex with Perry to contact him. “These politicians have conducted criminal acts and they should be serving federal prison sentences,” says Morrow. “But what is the result of all this? They get presidential libraries and secret service protection for life, and I think that is both insane and outrageous.”

Many of Morrow’s accusations, especially on social media, are laced with depraved vulgarities, a peculiar method for someone who sells ideas that need all the credibility they can get. The crudeness, he says, is just a way to attract people’s attention to his message. But how does he defend himself against claims of misogyny after routinely posting photos of nearly naked women with captions like “I am feeling boobylicious tonight!” Morrow surely isn’t easing any of the concerns, saying, “Posting a photo of a bikini or lingerie model is not sexist, hello! Liking women with big titties is a natural, biological need and urge.”

Pretty disappointed by this. I know the choice is his, but still I am disappointed.
