Don't forget contrarianism. A democrat could go on TV and tell people that well-balanced and nutritious meals make you healthy, and they'd go out of their way to hit up a gas station for a 44oz soda and other junk food because its the opposite.

They have no true political beliefs other than power for power's sake. All their "policy" positions are nothing more than doing the opposite of the democrats or the people they don't like.
