I'm baffled how anyone that isn't a straight white male with money convinces themselves they're part of the Republican Club.
All these people grasping at party acceptance are doing is screaming "hey I'm a piece of shit too!"
I'm a school bus driver and I work with a few Trump-supporting lesbians. It's no mystery why: they really, really hate black people and that hatred blinds them to any possible conception of their own self-interest. For good measure they're also staunchly pro-union.
Bruh, same team, same fight.
How could they not see how hypocritical that is?
Ask yourself the same question. Not trying to pick on you but think of all the people on your side that are only on your side because of they agree with you on like 25% of the issues or because or some quality.
Just an example of something people are relatively calm about: I can be pro-union for lumberjacks but not want the Pacific Northwest to become a dead parking lot and the spotted owl to be extinct. I agree with them on one issue and not others.
