gee maybe they realized that a billionaire who is sleeping with playboy models and never going anywhere without a private jet is not the real people’s man he claims to be.

Doubtful. That would require them having any actual knowledge of what is going on. If anything it is because something he enacted finally personally affected themselves.

Moron cunts.

I’ve never understood that. Why would honest, hard-working Americans root for a convicted criminal billionaire? It seems like the very definition of self-harm to me.
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
And rapist.
And coastal elite blue state born rich snob.
Things they’re supposed to hate. But hey, he said he hated the same people they do and constantly spews vile rhetoric that they like, and that’s all they needed to throw their support behind him.
These people are amoral. It’s that simple.

I think it has to do with them being “villified” as backwards hicks in the media, and no doubt by many a city dweller. It gets people defensive, and there may also be a traditional aspect that hasn’t been revised. Just my thoughts on it though
DrFistington@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
The irony is that they tried to prove how smart and un-hickish they are by blindly following someone who panders and talks down to them, and is also completely dishonest.

Also a lot of rural Americans see city dwellers as the enemy, I grew up with a dad that thought that way.

Yeah, the “hold my beer” theory of voter reaction. I get it. What I don’t understand is, even if I desperately wanted to do the inverse of what annoying dems wanted me to do, I wouldn’t be ready to objectively hurt myself and my family just to piss them off.

Because they were raised to vote Republican no matter what.

Fox News

Education correlates with willingness to vote for Democrats and progressives.
Conservative news stations like the Murdoch’s networks dominate cable news and are very high ranking on Sattelite. Last few years many local broadcast stations were also bought out by conservatives.
Another nail in the coffin is fossil fuels. Coal and Oil are the lifebloods of some regions like the Bakken Shelf of North Dakota. They’re afraid of the environmental policies.

It’s a coalition of bad ideas.

Hey, that asshole who’s never worked a day in his life because he had a rich daddy and cheats on his taxes seems like a really trustworthy guy. What I like the most about him is the fact that he would never want to have a beer with me, and if he somehow did, it would be the most painful experience in my life. He really gets me!

Stupid. The answer is stupid.

Religion. Republicans have tied themselves to religion so hard that anyone devoted to a Christian god will vote for any Republican. Doesn’t matter who.

The isolation leads to a lack of news. A lot of information is coming from church groups. People are told bad things are coming and they latch on to it.
