How do Republican voters not care about Social Security??

[DeeDeeNY]

All I hear about is how “independent” voters are moving toward voting Republican. Why?? They’re worried more about inflation than Social Security? Makes No Sense.

1. One of the five rules of stupidity

is that a stupid person will hurt you even if it hurts them more.

2. Maybe because they know Democrats will oppose anything that cut Social Security

They just vote for Republicans because they think it’s some kind of game and they’re keeping score. The fact that it could affect their lives never enters their heads. So it is always up to Democrats to save the social programs at the Republicans always want to kill. ‘Twas ever thus

3. Information bubbles prevent them from hearing it.

[duhneece]

16. Exactly. They don't know. nt

4. If they watch fox they don't know about any cuts.

17. Exactly, and those who do are in denial.

It's unbelievable how many people are absolutely clueless about this subject, and it's not just Fox"News" watchers, either.

5. Mass psychosis.

“That will never happen to me.”

[crosinski]

11. Yes ... they think it won't happen to them.

Don’t worry, be happy is the more pleasant way to think.

6. I Q a NONE n/t

7. Many in rural areas have no cable or internet, yet depend on that govt check

Msm epic fail, if true.

[Merlot]

8. I doubt many "independent" voters are truly independent

Uninformed, yes. Independent, doubtful.

[XanaDUer2]

9. I actually think many would care

If they knew. But they're in a bubble. Plus, they're stupid .

[crickets]

10. A lot of the election coverage is punditry trying to steer the concerns of voters

rather than actually report on it. I find myself ignoring most of it.

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. You're not hearing that independent voters are moving toward voting Republicans

There was one NYT poll, with a subgroup of less than 100 independent women voters, that showed a 32 point shift from Dems to Republicans from September to October.

It’s an utterly meaningless poll, only useful to drive the media narrative, and nothing else.

[kacekwl]

13. Because they're told repukes are

saving SS and Medicare.

[XanaDUer2]

14. Ding ding

[DeeDeeNY]

15. Scary

[Autumn]

18. This right here

The ads for those pukes are nothing but lies with no rebuttal, this is why rural America is red.

19. They think that privatizing SS is a good idea...

22. They assume everyone else will be punished, not them.

They will retain all freedoms, rights, benefits.

They are special.
