How can anyone making less than 500k per year possibly vote Republican?

Ideology, plain and simple.  It's really easy to sway people to the party of "family values", "conservative traditions", rabid nationalism, and rugged individualism.  GOP has their cultural messaging perfected and has every church in the nation supporting their cause helping to spread that ideology.
What a terrible, terrible disaster these Republicans are for the country ... and the world.  What is wrong with the people ... or anyone ... who voted for Republicans this past election?  This is on them. >

A majority of our citizens have given up and don’t bother voting. Those that do vote typically have to win by a big percentage to overcome partisan gerrymandering. >

Ironically though, there was higher voter turn outs in the last two elections. Problem is its mainly retired vs unemoyeed that is the make or break here. Young people are still on the low end with elderly still at ath. >

It’s good if you grade on a curve, but terrible by most measures.  McCarthy won with only 33% of his district voting. >

their base wont care. the info bubble they live in will continue to convince them that the right is 'fighting' for them and everything bad happening can be directly contributed to dems in every instance. >

Its weird knowing that in a lifeboat with 10 people, at least a couple would be trying to sink it while another few let them cook. How did we get this far?
Whats even harder to grasp is that my above statement could be used by the types on the ground level at least while they are actively trying to burn it down. >

As a liberal I would feel massively owned if I had to pay for socialized medicine. Spread the word >

I would feel so owned if we cut the military's budget. Hell, Let's dismantle tax cuts for the wealthy. Want to own me so hard? Corporate taxes look mighty low!!! >

Again: no ideas. Just fomenting a culture war up front and making deals with the wealthy in the back. >

GOP mullet? >

This is why everyone who voted these people in deserve nothing but your disdain. They are actively trying to destroy the country or are too stupid to realize that is what they are doing. Neither deserves empathy at this point. >

Agreed. >

Every single economic study shows that the wealthiest 10 percent of this country are raking inrecord profits as the rest of us live on less and less. Meanwhile, the GOP is advocating more tax cuts for the rich and spending cuts for social benefits. How can anyone making less than 500k per year possibly vote Republican? It's the most frustrating and confusing aspect of politics in the USA.
