I grew up in a union neighborhood/state. Michigan. I see liberal middle class first policies work best. Cons like trickle downOh but don't we vote GOP because we want free stuff? Isn't that the general consensus among Republicans? We're not makers we're takersIm sure you think people who dont vote the way you do are wrong. No?So are you
You want to try to explain that one?
Hey, if Americans prefer Republican rule they can have it. I'm just one vote.
I don't think Republican voters are dumb. I think people who don't vote are dumb.
No. I think I generally have a good grasp of why people who disagree with me vote the way they do.
Unlike LIberals, I do NOT believe that they have to be Stupid or Evul to disagree with me.
I find that people are quite happy to talk about themselves and what they believe.
Some times I read between the lines, when the stated reasons are fairly thin. A tactic I have been using sometimes is to aske someone, if you found evidence that that stated reasons was not the case, would it change your vote?
YOu are the one assuming that all these conservative people are conservative BECAUSE they are ignorant.
That was pretty feeble.
MOst liberal middle class white self identify as liberal because it provides them with an identify that defines them as the GOod Guy vs the Evul Racist Republicans.
As a member of that group, they can tell themselves they are good people and will have a large group reinforcing that message as long as they toe the line in all important matters.
