I don't know why anyone talks politics at work. You're not going to change anyone's mind. I think you hear mostly republican viewpoints in the cockpit because republics are the most outspoken. I think most democrats stay quiet because the other guy is just going to go off about how you're a socialist while parroting everything Fox News says.
I for one don't know why anyone in this country prescribes to a party. IMO it's the main problem with American politics. I also think pilots are perfect candidates to be independent. They are usually higher income earners for low taxes but also prounion. How any one of us can in good conscious prescribe to one or the other political parties when both directly contradict your goals in at least one major way.
But hey, it's easier to talk about "this administration" and how they've pushed the country beyond repair.
