re: #276 Renaissance_Man

And yet, despite this patrician hatred of the middle class and poor, Republican voters still earnestly believe that their party represents the little guy, middle America. Facts be damned, evidence be damned. It’s about what they feel, and what their media demagogues tell them about those hateful libs.

YES. THIS. That’s the biggest problem. Otherwise intelligent people fell for the GOP propaganda, and they keep falling for it.

The Dems are hardly perfect. Every day I wish we had an electoral system that allowed for more political parties on all sides instead of the two major parties having a stranglehold on the rest of us. But seriously — if you earn under $250k, or are anything other than a rich, white, fundamentalist Christian male, you’re not doing yourself any favors voting Republican. In fact, you’re voting against your own interests every time.
