Will Republicans still vote for DeSantis, Abbott and other insane people?

Who would elect a person who's trying to sicken or even murder your and your children? Evidently, Republican voters.

I can't get into their heads. I don't know what makes them tick. But whatever it is, it goes light years beyond stupid. And like it or not, we're stuck having to share this planet with them.

Dead grandparents can be explained away - dead two-year-olds can't.

Even the most ardent Trump-humping Republican voter tends to get picky when it comes to their own kids being buried in tiny coffins.

Republicans good, Democrats bad.

Thus, if a Republican does something that harms us,
it must be for our own good.

Our leaders must know something we don't know,
so we will go along with it.

How do I know this? I have heard my own relatives

I don't know how many. Maybe that incurable 30%.

First rule of GQP: Never admit you were wrong about anything. God is on your side and he does not let you make mistakes so stay the course!
