To own the libs. Little did they understand that they were among the government supported “leaches” that their fat cat congressmen told them to be afraid of.

I can only guess that it is because of centuries of racism. They are raised with it. Generation after generation. I don’t think many realize how this is going to affect them yet.

They are binging on a racism high

Too much hate for OTHERS.

🤔damn good question! Just maybe because they are blinded by lies and follow a💩false prophet who will enrich himself on the backs of vulnerable people!🤬

Always the same answer. Racism and misogyny override their own best interests, so they stick with the GOP.

They believed the LIES on the Fox propaganda network

Cults are like that. Look at Jonestown.

They should do us all a favor and pull a Jonestown.

They were told *other people* would suffer. They gleefully voted for cruelty and suffering, they just didn't think it would happen to THEM.

Racism and stupidity

bsky.app/profile/dons...

Because they think “Another Brick in the Wall” is the national anthem.

They thought only the minorities' would be affected.

They only thought it would impact brown people and liberals.

Because they were pissed off that anyone other than straight, white, Christian, able bodied people were getting the same services as them.

There are intelligent people in rural areas so long as you're a Democrat or an Independent with a soul 😉

They wished, when they should have voted.

It’s this simple; trump hates who they hate & their hate is more important to them than anything else. They are fully willing to sacrifice anything to support harm of those they hate.

Just not at all intelligent.

Brainwashed cult

Deprogram, it took me a year after turning fox news off when my father died, I came out of it after a years in 2008, but I was never like this, we were Jack Kemp Republicans, actually giving a shit.

Racism

Rural America voting against its interests… I think it has a lot to do with religious indoctrination. When your mind is trained in archaic delusions, it’s pretty hard to understand things like reality, reason, science, and logic.

They hate the same ppl as Trump does

It is called rigged elections.

They are total idiots

They play follow the leader in everything. Not a far stretch. The most dangerous thing you can be in rural America is “different”.

Most won’t take effect until after the midterms. We need to realize that we need majority in Congress. We have to vote straight democrats. Our three branches of government are corrupt, so the only solution is US, the people. Don’t give up!

I have been all over the country and note a contributing factor. When someone has never visited someplace different/better/worse they don’t understand how poor they really are, nor that things can be better. When their faux news tells them lies, they can’t see the lies never seeing anything else.

Speaking as someone who lives in rural America, they’re dumb as rocks that’s why

Because they allowed themselves to be brainwashed by Republicans for decades.

As a white person in rural America who didn't, because it's an echo chamber out here of Trump supporters.

Would be nice if the FO part only affected the FA sector.

Dumbfucks with a “classic” American education ie: <6th grade

To "own the libs"

Yes, they tore down my small town Library, one good thing we had in this Tx town to build a Chic-fil-a to own the Libs in the first Trump term. I could literally walk to go vote or get a book, they moved it to an old run down grocery store, & liberal books vanished during the move. OWN the LIBS. WTF

Ignorance, xenophobia, and a steady, years long diet of intense and calculated misinformation.

🤔

Racism.

Because they are stupid as all fuck. And because they have this belief in some imaginary god that somehow will save them. Nope. They will still be stupid and poor. And will keep getting thrown aside from the party that has never ever cared about them.

They're ignorant and stupid.

A low IQ is responsible for many self made problems.

Something about leopards not eating THEIR faces

Because they were lied to

They enjoy their place just above those they consider the bottom without realizing they themselves ARE the bottom.

Because they are, generally speaking, not the brightest cookies in the toolshed.

I know I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer,but at least I’m in the drawer.

Because they will accept their own pain as long as it is inflicted in someone they don’t like. They are more worried about harming someone they falsely believed harmed them than helping themselves.

Excellent point. But I also believe that many of them thought that it would only affect those “other” people.

It’s classic Nazi playbook! We are ‘us’. If you not of our ‘us’ tribe then you are of the ‘them’ tribe. Because you are ‘them’ it’s impossible for you to join ‘us’! Ever! Therefore you are inferior! You deserve no respect or sympathy or care! GOP, MAGA are of the ‘us’ tribe!

Anyone paying attention to his speeches in the 2016 campaign could hear it. I’ve been reading about the Nazis and WW2 before I was really old enough to. I was born in 1953 and many people I knew were studying this stuff because it was still fresh in our minds. I’m very concerned about this crap.

I was born in 1951 in France and love history especially the 20th century. I read shit loads. In this era of streaming channels, 24x7 media, documentaries, online books and so on, one would hope that voters be better attuned to their political world!

Not when everything comes at 30 second sound bites. And for decades the education in American has been attacked and defunded.

How true. We’ve become a society of instant gratification. Nobody has the patience to take the time to learn what they should.

Considering where and when you grew up,it’s way more personal to you. I wish more people would not only learn more history,but strive to not repeat it.

That’s giving them credit that they actually thought about real consequences at all.

I never ever voted for the treason traitors , the election was rigged

'If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.' President Lyndon Johnson

Fox. Or should I say #FakeNews.

They only pay attention to football.

You have to ask them…… maybe they know, or, maybe not????

Because they hate brown people more than they love themselves

Easy. Willful ignorance.

Its called racism

All answers....correct!

Generational stupidity.

Believed the lies. Fought for the lies. Will die for the lies.

Magats will squirm ,squeal and recite; then the penny will drop

Some causes are worth suffering for. Or something..

Because no matter how poor or ignorant they are, they still are not brown peoples.

Maga is a cult of ignorance and hate.

Fuck 'em

Because they believe whatever Trump tells them. They still believe the big ugly bill is a good thing.

Because they are racism people who don’t care about other people

They lack the smarts to know what they did.

Stupidity.

They depend on the media for their information, and the media lied to them.

Troglodyte sheep, marinated in years of systemic misdirection as to have no free thinking; just point and blame while gleefully lighting the match to their own pyre. Natural selection will come for them🤔

because legacy media will tell them its the dems fault they wont have any public services and how maga is fighting for them

Because they are uneducated and are only interested in harming others, not realizing they harm themselves in the process.

Racist

Because they do whatever daddy says

Racism is expensive.

Mostly uneducated and they watch Faux news. Sad

Perhaps they were misinformed?

Deliberately misinformed. Misinformed may have been an excuse in 2017 but there's no excuse now. Biff Tanner after he got the almanac was based on trump. We've known who he is for decades

Agreed.

They drank the koolaid

Dumb ass MAGAlomaniacs🤣

Education Or lack there of

Because they hate immigrants

Ignorance

They are the masses of uneducated that the moron openly told "I love the uneducated" too stupid by half.

Fox propaganda + lack of education/ability to think critically + sense of belonging + lack of diversity/culture

They don't have the education that would have provided more informed decision-making. And let us not forget that he lied. When you are down and out, you want to believe help is coming.

The same reason that the victims at "Jonestown" drank the poisoned Kool-Aid. Because their cult-leader told them to!!

Because they are stupid as fuck.
