Ask yourself, which politicians favor what the people want...

2. Yet they will never vote liberal.

Instead they'll vote for the jackass who waves the flag and praises Jesus more and continue to treat us like second class citizens.

3. Do those politicians have a plan to pay

for all those things? Have the same people been asked about paying increased taxes?

4. A portion of people who want some or all of those things still vote Republican.

It's the power of racism and sexism combined with the disconnect between policies and those responsible for said policies. A majority of the American population is either completely out of touch with politics and current events (even in presidential elections, 40% can't be bothered to vote**) or driven almost entirely by racism and sexism or greed. And there's no doubt overlap between those 2 groups.

It would be a mistake to think every surveyed person who disapproves of Trump's job performance (58% or something like that) will actually vote for Democrats (or for anyone) in November.

**Now, some don't vote due to voter suppression (such as the intentional closure of polling places in high density areas), but most who don't vote simply don't give a damn. I imagine we'd all be horrified if we knew how many people don't even know there's an election this November.
