Republicans vote against their own best interests in the most startling ways sometimes. They literally don’t have the critical thinking ability to figure out theyll get fucked over. Theres at least less of a chance Dems wouldnt have gutted this dipshits healthcare. The number of people who voted solely for racism and bigotry is hilarious. They really didnt think they would suffer and Trump gives a shit about them. Studies have been done that show conservatives pretty much only care about family and friends. They are absolute sociopaths to strangers and now they are at the receiving end of that sociopathy.
I don’t think they even perceive the connection between being fucked over and who they vote for. They do not exactly have a materialist rational way of experiencing the world.
are you saying every single republican doesnt care about family or friends? i understand they might be a shithead who kicks their kid out for being trans, but if they care about the other family members and friends than that still qualified under that study. It wasnt parsing out which family they did or didnt like. It was showing how they felt about people in close relation vs no relation.
I’m memeing. I don’t doubt the study. It’s just the conservatives in my family say and do things that actively harm other members, myself included. And then I’ll hear some ghoul shit like Newt Gingrich starting an affair as his wife is dying or Kristi Noem shooting her dog as more proof reactionaries only care about themselves, seeing family as tools to be used for personal gain.
Because a lot of people who vote Republican don’t have a real grasp on what they are actually voting for. They just know that “their people” are Republicans. My evangelical parents are the perfect example. They couldn’t tell you anything about the Republican platform other than “they want to lower taxes” (which in itself isn’t true for their income bracket). But they do know that they have always voted Republican along with everyone in their church, so the Republicans are “their” side. This is why they have a general belief that Republican policies won’t hurt them even if they don’t know what those policies are. They think they are part of one big team.

I’m 99% sure conservatives are fine with getting fucked over as long as minorities get fucked over harder.

At least in a performative way.

Hey, only their immediate family members; uuuuuh maybe.
