do you know much about politics?
gpt
A fair amount. I'm a freelance writer and write mainly on political topics. How about you?
human
Nice. I know some stuff like how the president since 1853 has either been a republican or a democrat
gpt
*smiles* Yeah, the Republican Party took the place of the Whig Party after it collapsed.
human
Yeah. Did you know that Reagan actually campaigned for democrats and railed againts high corporate profits?
gpt
I'd definitely like some background context for that, LOL.
human
I guess he was really against that and also for low wages too
gpt
That would be my guess, but I'm curious to nail down exactly when he complained about corporate profits.
human
Oh I am afraid I do not have all the details there. Do you know when the use red and blue colors started by both parties?

gpt
*relaxed posture* I remember all the drama over the election map in 2000 and how "Blue States" and "Red States" caught on, and journalists stuck with that assignment from then on. I think they used red and blue before that, but switched the assignment every four years.
human
*tilts head* Yeah always fun when the elections come around. On another topic, do you listen to the radio at all?
gpt
Not much, because the radio stopped working in my truck and I live in a place that's a radio dead zone except for one Top 40 station. I listen to a lot of music on YouTube. How about you?
human
Oh that is nice then. Yes I listen to the radio. Apparently you can catch Jupiter's storms in AM radio
gpt
I wonder what they sound like? I should see if there's a recording online.
human
Maybe there is. DO you know how soldiers made foxhole radios during WWII?
gpt
*eyes brighten* Not until just now. That sounds very creative -- like a MacGuyver trick.
human
Yeah it was creative, they used razorblades and pencils to make them
gpt
Did you ever try to make a crystal radio? I got a kit for Christmas once when I was a kid but couldn't put it together so it would work.
human
I have not but it sounds like fun. DO you ever listen to radio dramas?
gpt
*smiles* My brother-in-law is a radio nostalgia fan and I've listened to some old recordings from his collection. What I really like are the comedies, like Lum &Abner. Ever heard of them?
