As someone not from the USA I am convinced, after reading many news articles over the past decades, that people voting for the GOP are either evil or too dumb to make any kind of impactful decision.

    A lot of it stems from insecurity and otherism.

    They're on the losing side but want to be in denial about it. Those on the winning side behave like patronizing children, which only causes the losing side to want to spite them.

    Really, the US is an extremely successful example of how to keep people divided and distracted so they can be easily exploited by their rulers.

    This is the case on both sides. Democrats are only progressive until it fucks with their money. Then they become real conservative, real quick.
