    You do know those doctors and lawyers paying back their student loans can be Republicans, right? Do you think they believe they’ve failed to pull themselves up by their bootstraps enough?

    I’m in Indiana. I’m surrounded by Republicans. My wife has Republican relatives who are in these situations and in successful careers. This is not how they think. School vouchers are about their idea that public schools are atheist liberal institutions which will teach children to be transgender and worship Satan.

      I’m basing my POV less on anecdata and moreso on reading (Jonathan Haidt’s The Righteous Mind, uh, comes to mind). With that said, I can certainly imagine that things have pulled in the direction you describe since Trump, so perhaps those sources don’t reflect the current reality quite as much.
