This is absolutely not the case. When you break issues down, the average Republican voter supports a ton of Democratic policies, especially economic policies. They're willing to vote against their self-interest because they've been led to believe they're superior to other groups, namely racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ, non-Christians, but most importantly "college educated liberal elites." This feeling of superiority is a fucking drug, and it makes them ready to want whatever their leaders tell them to want rather than the other way around
I'm really curious about the viewpoint of whomever downvoted you
You think we don't have fascists on here?
I know we do, sometimes I'd actually rather them speak up instead of slither around
