That truth bomb should sting, but it won't, for reasons you described.

A lot of how people vote has to do with peer pressure and peer acceptance. Everyone subconsciously craves a sense of belonging.


This is also the correct answer.

For many people, politics has become their religion. This is most true of atheists, who tend to be leftists.

Human beings are wired to seek something Bigger than themselves. When you reject God, a political movement is a natural substitute.

Equity is bad, equality is great.

To provide equity, you have to treat some people as more equal than others.

White shitlibs I know fall into three categories:

Old: folks still beholden to ABC, NBC, and CBS to tell them what to do. They've always been slanted, but in the era of Trump, it's been pure DNC propaganda.

Middle age: government employees (teachers fall into this group)

Young: positive social feedback for involvement in the latest "cause." Need to have skin in the game to realize how destructive the policies they advocate for are.

The biggest issue facing the GOP is that a large portion of that young group isn't growing up. The dem party dominates single women.

You could have just said the Republican Party used to be a party of conservatives and now it's a party of populists.

But this is also the correct answer.

Straight white people don't, straight white conformists do. These are the same type of people who see Bricksburg in The Lego Movie as being the ultimate utopia.

Can you really not answer this question or are you just looking for an echo chamber?

The economic leftism is the most unfavorable part (other than the white trash) of MAGA

You cannot vote Dem without mental illness at this point. What they are doing to our kids is diabolical.

There’s a handful of people in my life that are this way and I cannot process it. I could 8-10 years ago, but the Democrat platform and headwind has changed so much since then.
