Question about Republican voters from States like Alabama and W. Virginia who

[Baitball Blogger]

insist on voting for people who turn away Democratic relief programs:

Who do they blame for their stagnant situation? I just don't see how they can blame a Democratic president or Federal government when their guy or gal keeps rejecting programs that can help them. Especially puzzling when they're represented by millionaires who financially benefit from turning those programs down.

1. "But the Democrats will take away our Guns and god, and make us marry gays".

It’s been the same shit for nearly 40 years.

2. It's clear to them nothing much changes when they vote for Democrats.

What they fail to realize is they haven't voted for *enough* Democrats.

But, no, may as well not go to the polls and allow more GOP power to rule their lives...

People don't get it, and are easily mislead by incessant messaging that D's and R's are the same.

3. Their hatred of others is the most important thing to them.

They will vote against their self interest every time as long as they can shaft other groups.

4. Alabama resident here

They don't give a fuck as long as they can fill that ballot with repug names and own dem damn libs. And afterwards, they can go buy Bud lights and bitch about the damn democrats who are ruining THEIR country.

5. And that's our in. We need ads that can help them see themselves through

other people's eyes. What they are doing IS stupid, and they can continue voting for Rs, but where we beg to differ is that they don't have any logic to support that the Democrats are at fault for their situation. So they shouldn't blame the federal level when their fault is in their own voting decisions at the State level.

That's all we'll be able to do. I don't think we can convince them to vote Democratically. But I do believe that they need to accept that it is their prejudices that keep them from doing anything different.
