D C d c

Back in the olden days, you could pretty much count on the fact that a “big D Democrat” was also a “a little d democrat.” Furthermore, “Big C Catholics” were also at least supposed to be “small c catholic.” And in the U.S., Big C Catholics also tended to be Big D Democrats and thereby little d democratic as well as little c catholic. However, times do change and now, big C Catholics are much less likely to be big D Democrats than they used to be. However, I still think little c catholics are pretty likely to be little d democrats but big C Catholics are less likely to be little c catholic (depending on what exactly you mean by little c catholic) and also less likely to be little d democrats (at least in the U.S). I’m not sure about the trending of big D Democrats with respect to little d democratic impulse. Internationally, I think big C Catholics are generally becoming more little d democratic, although there is a little c conservative force which resists this trend, and they’re in charge of the big C Catholics.

I haven’t the foggiest idea why this occurred to me other than I get sick of people using the phrases “Big C Catholic,” “little c catholic,” Big D Democratic,” and “little d democratic.” They also use quotation fingers when they say these phrases, which I loath.
