Please explain how half the population still votes for anti american, race baiting, white hating democrats..

How is this wrong..? This is litterally exactally what the democrats stand for...They talk about how evil the white man is all the time...Its a broken record..See Nancy Pelosi...They are racist so they can get votes and keep blacks on the plantation...However, alot of blacks are waking up...They are starting to see how they are being used...

Long answer, but here I'll give it a try:

1. The Republican Party, in the 90s and early 2000s, was mostly defined by telling people what they could NOT do.
* No on gay marriage
* No on abortion
* No on drugs
Of those three, the first one became the quick and easy "paint the GOP as evil" concept. Why deny two consenting adults the right to get married? It was a hard thing to defend denying.
The third, though, is why African-Americans tend not to vote Republican - and no, this is not a race commentary implying that black people do more drugs. Don't be that guy.
No, the simple fact of the matter is that a person of color who was caught with drugs was way more like to serve time in prison than a person who is white. There are a million studies on it, so don't try and plug your ears.
Now, did Democrats really do anything to HELP that plight? No, they did not. Not really - not in recent times. It was the Republican party, though, that really pushed through tougher drug laws during the "War on Drugs" in the 1980s, and pushed for making marijuana illegal previously (the drug most often cited in drug busts).

2. An image problem. The Republican Party is not racist (as I pointed out in another thread), but they do have supporters who are not only racist, but scream at the top of their lungs about the evils of other races while holding aloft pictures of Donald Trump. The loudest voices get heard, not the most common ones.

3. Old school Democrats. Ones that voted for them because they are considered things like "pro-farmer", etc.

4. And, of course, posts like yours. You're not REALLY interested in knowing why a person would vote Democrat - you make that painfully, obviously clear when you cannot finish the first sentence without insulting the people who vote that way. Especially when you claim "anti-American" - you slam the door shut for any attempt by another person to explain to you their actions. It would be like me starting off this entire post with, "I'll answer your questions you moronic, cousin-slamming, butt-chugging mouth breather." Would you waste any part of your day reading anything that came afterwards?

Actually, more than half.

Less than 40% of registered voters are registered Democrat. Less than 30% of registered voters voted for Hillary.

You failed math in elementary school

Their livelihood depends on it. I’m willing to bet at least 30% of that half of the population is on some form of government assistance, 10% are democrat elites, and the other 10% are illegal immigrants and people that are no longer living.

Cause for the most part, these are the folks that pay no income taxes, live on entitlements and want you to support them 100%

I have many intelligent, well educated friends that vote Democrat. In just about every case, they love the idea of an authoritarian government that controls most aspects of our lives: healthcare, speech, religion, education, economy, etc.

That is because in theory they actually believe that EVERYONE should have the same access to everything.

So the poorest of the poor should get the best surgeons.
The poorest of the poor should get their kids in the best schools.
The poorest of the poor should make what they call a livable wage.

But if push came to shove and you asked them if they would want to wait in a waiting room with 100s of the unwashed at their doctor they would respond "No".

If you don't them to school would be on a lottery and their kids have been picked for the school in the hood while we will bus kids in to the Brand new school they would say "NO"

If you asked them if Kawanda working at Burger King should make as much as their lawyer they would say "No"

I wonder how you idiots keep buying into the mantra of voting for one of the major parties regardless.

Both are filled to the brim with politicians who don't give a shite about the American public. But you keep thinking your side is better than the other sweetheart. Naivety is cute in it's own way

More than half.

Cute but I'm not buying it. You meant it as a flame regardless of how mild you consider that flame.

Just be honest.

I honestly did not consider it a flame. Maybe we should take a poll. Are Trump supporters bothered if they are called Trumpsters? Of course I can't start it now.
