It's very simple
Republican voters are poor people out in the sticks, voting for the elitist conman class
They are brainwashed
Dad was a WW2 veteran, mom was a "Rosie the riveter."
My first vote was for Jimmy Carter.
The city republican is the hyped up conman
Whether it is ignorance or delusion, republican politicians have messed up constituents
They believe somehow, Trump will make sure it doesn't go to white MAGA voters like themselves & when it does they shocked & beyond angry. FAFO
The lesser educated things they feel about other races or genders (that they also felt for so long they couldn't say) combined with the world moving on faster than them leaves them feeling powerless.
Empowerment then comes from the people telling them they can say these things and...
Rather than educating themselves and becoming a winner, they instead try to stomp others down beneath their station that they might feel a winner. And so any fall is acceptable so long as others fall further.
Divide and conquer.
