I like all these fancy ways we come up with to say that stupid ignorant people voted Republican.
yeah. Clearly they are all just stupid and ignorant. Has nothing to do with the working class having their ability to engage in politics obstructed and being abandonded by the Dems and lied to by the Reps.
No everyone who isnt voting against their class interests for my class interests is just stupid and ignorant....
You’re giving them too much credit. Ignorance is in vogue. Most of the people voting for Trump couldn’t point to Maine on a map. Voting against your own best interests is quite stupid.
Not everyone, but a lot of them sure are!
