I think the people more likely to see us as stubborn are kind of ironically stubborn themselves . The difference between us is that they are used to people caving in to their viewpointsdemandsetc , so when people like us stand up and call them out on it , or disagree , we ' re stubborn because we didn ' t behave how they are used to people behaving . Another point is that on the surface , we come across as quiet , unassuming , and somewhat less dominant than your average person , so when we do actually go out of our way to argue a point , it can surprise people . <| sep |> You apparently haven ' t noticed that almost half the country doesn ' t just think he ' s not unfit , but that he ' s the fittest . Have you considered it ' s possible he has to listen to those constituents too ?
