The ‘same voters’ in that voting Republicans out of Congress in 2018 because of a disdain for Trump is as ridiculous and capricious as voting Democrats out of Congress in 2022 because Democrats didn’t ‘fix’ inflation, or ‘blaming’ Democrats for inflation.
We don’t vote based on facts and the truth; we vote based on incorrect perceptions, willful ignorance, fear, and stupidity.
Otherwise, correct – things such as access to affordable healthcare, education, and viable alternative energy sources should be a priority and not subject to partisan conflict or political dogma.
You’re spot-on about Americans lacking the will and resolve to take on the hard issues – hence the willfully ignorant, lazy, stupid voter.
And then there’s the right’s unwarranted opposition to access to affordable healthcare, education, and viable alternative energy sources due to wrongheaded conservative dogma advancing lies about such policies being ‘too expense,’ lies about such policies being ‘socialism,’ and lies about such policies ‘hurting the economy’ and ‘costing jobs.’
The Republican/conservative way is the easy way, the lazy way – Republican governance is either to do nothing about a problem or oppose any effort to resolve the problem.
Republicans are successfully politically because they pander to the most fundamental aspects of human nature – do what’s easy, be lazy, uninvolved, and self-absorbed.
Tuesday is going to be amazing.
