We have "group A": liberal, pro-choice, socially accepting, for the common good, and likely voted for Clinton.
We have "group B": conservative, pro-life, nationalistic, rugged individuals, and likely voted for Trump.

...and also whether you consider yourself to be in group A or B. I'm just going on generalities here, whichever group you feel more affinity towards, not every detail I listed above.[sic: emphasis added]
