Some of the worst people in the country. I was raised evangelical, even the folks I know who were decent on an interpersonal level would never consider voting for anyone other than Republicans.

That’s kind of the answer for everyone. We’ve just been bouncing back and forth between the two parties because neither has reversed the decline in people’s economic outlook. The system, left in place, makes life worse for almost everyone and our choices have been between “lies and then nothing happens” and “lies and accelerates the decline”. Since they both let (or encourage) the decline, whoever can more credibly lie, usually whoever isn’t in power, gets the vote.
we are labeled a flawed democracy, we do not have equal representation because of two main reasons, Gerrymandering allows politicians to pick who votes for them and how districts maps are drawn in ways to disenfranchise voters. The Heritage foundation wrote the citizens united law allowing unlimited dark money to flow into elections in response to Obama’s grass roots funding successes. We are faced against fascist and oligarchy along with social media worming any and all crazy ideas into the heads of soft impressionable populations.
The problem with that is that what they’re responsive to is perceived decline and perceived progress. And the MAGA crew are also highly motivated by spite, and would happily let Trump shit on their kids’ breakfast as long as they thought it might hurt an immigrant, black, brown or queer person.
As I said in another post: the mandate for Dems is: “Make sure the last 2 years can never happen again!” There is so much low hanging fruit to support that goal, but now we gotta watch which the Dems blow this once in a generation opportunity. (Repubs are evil, but Dems are incompetent)
