I wouldn’t say the best. There are a lot of people who love to vote R and especially for Trump because they think that fucking up other people’s lives will make their life better. Some, like my father-in-law, are irredeemable assholes that love irredeemable assholes.
I don’t get trump voters but the fact is they are engaged in their democracy. They are more responsible for the election of trump but the fact is I would not want to live in a democracy that attempted to filter out folks like that from voting because of course you can’t trust any filter like that. Ironically one reason I vote against them is because they talk about limitinig the voting pool to get rid of the groups that don’t vote right. I guess the real irony is the ones who don’t vote are sorta doing what they want without them having to legislate it.
Fucking up other people’s lives is basically the status quo for capitalists.
If other people get benefits you don’t, either because you don’t need them, or you don’t want them, then they see it as a hand out, giving their money to the filthy poors to unjustly elevate them potentially above those that they are taking from.
Aggressive capitalists see everything as a race/ladder. Being in a better position than someone else because you’re more wealthy/powerful/whatever, is the most important factor, and any kind of charity regarding providing basic needs to those who fall upon hard times is seen as a sin.
It’s a demented and selfish mentality that’s unnecessarily cruel to those less fortunate, simply because they can be. Anyone “below” them on the ladder (or “behind” them in the race), is less than them. So they idolize anyone who they view as “successful” or “wealthy” because they see them as “winning” the race. Something they desperately want to achieve.
Rough numbers/back of the napkin trigger warning. 73 million out of a population of 337 million is roughly 21.7% of the population. Remember that when Ds and Rs yell about “half the country”
40% of North Carolina. Out of the whole US the percentage of crazy is higher.
over 50% last I saw and it looked way over. could be like 55.
The percentage of votes Trump receives is not out of 100% of the USA population, it’s out of however many voted.
still. over 50% of the electorate who cared to vote. its almost worse in some ways. over 50% of the best of us.
