Here’s why people vote for Republicans [View All]

[Cyrano]

Most rational people look at the Republican Party and see nothing but a bunch of political opportunists who are selling greed, selfishness, bigotry and sheer hatred. How do they get away with it?

With the exception of the very wealthy who profit from having Republicans in power, the average Republican voter is drawn in by deception, misdirection and lies. The “how” is really easy. It’s a game in which someone else is always to blame for people’s misfortunes and everything else that’s wrong with the world.

Blacks are to blame. Hispanics are to blame. Illegal aliens are to blame. Liberals are to blame. Homosexuals are to blame. Muslims are to blame. Brown people everywhere are to blame. Poor people are to blame. Everyone who lives in San Francisco is to blame. Everyone, except Republicans, are to blame for the world’s ills.

That’s how they do it. And it works. Their followers are a mixture of people who are misinformed, not paying attention, susceptible to bumper sticker slogans, bigots, those who feel superior to others, those who are just plain dumb, and a variety of others who can’t go through life without having a “THEM” to blame for everything.

I’ve reached the point where I can no longer bear to even try to have a conversation with a Republican. And this will go on until the Republican Party (and all like them) become a relic of a dark past.
