When I moved here in 92 I worked for a company that had very few native employees, and right away I noticed a hatred of the Broncos..Everyone said just wait, you'll hate em and their fans too..After watching local sportscasts and listening to local radio for a year I understood. The Blind Homerism here is unlike any other town in America. Nobody says anything bad about the team, even when they clearly stink. People take anti Bronco talk real personal, so personal it's laughable. It's very immature, it's real weak, but it's just like how republicans look at the country- "Don't say anything bad about America, were perfect, we never do anything wrong!" And they get their feelings all hurt and call you a traitor if you dare suggest that we might not be so sqeeky clean... They make a sh*t performance vs Jacksonville sound like a good game, and killing a million people in Iraq sound heroic...Its bulls*it
Another case of misfiring synapsis engaged in philosophical thinking lol I think a more apt comparison exists between fans and unions if you wish to consider blind loyalty, irrational thought, etc.
Actually I find Bronco fans very easy to rip on their team. Did you miss the groans when Cutler was traded? How about when Marshall moved on?
Even in the Elway years, when he had a bad game, people wanted Kubiak to come in.
Your other point? Yes, Republicans do tend to be more optomistic about America and are more willing to forgive past sins. Holding the people of 100 years ago to modern moral standards is foolish.
Dems are funny, because they find fault so easily, they have few past heroes they can hold up. FDR? Japanese interment camps. JFK, Vietnam & the Bay of Pigs. Truman? Nuked Japan.
For Republicans, Reagan? Still like him despite granting amnesty for illegal aliens and passing gun legislation. W? Still like him despite spending too much.

I've been involved in Unions for 30 years and i've not EVER seen blind loyalty to them-the meetings get violent..The membership is NEVER happy...So, once again, you don't know what your talking about

Would that make Detroit, Cincinnati, and Cleveland fans sado-masochists??
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
