One thing I've noticed this election season in the USA is the stark differences between the Republican and Democratic "pep rallies" they've had around the country. In particular, the reactions of the crowds to the speeches given by the candidates. Perhaps it reflects on the mentality or outlook of them, but people at Republican rallies seem to be doing a lot of booing where the crowds at Democratic rallies tend to cheer alot. Pessimism versus optimism, perhaps.
pessimism (noun) A tendency to stress the negative or unfavorable or to take the gloomiest possible view. See malism.
optimism (noun) A tendency to expect a favorable outcome or to dwell on hopeful aspects. See hope.
I'm reminded of Stephen King's The Stand. Good versus Evil. Could it be that simple? It would explain many things about Republicans, methinks.
Vote, people.

It's actually a very good question you raise.
Boo is what losers say. It derives from the ooooo sound in loser. Many people mistake that as looser but that's more of what we call your mother. Chief's mother is loooooser than ho's mother.
it's math science.
Yay is what the winners say.
Typically it's like this, yay, I'm a rich white man and I just got richer and I'm the president!
In this peculiar instance it was a rich black man.
I hope this makes sense, if it didn't, call me on my sex hotline phone.
Yours truly,
Ho.
