It’s been painfully obvious since 2016, but the bulk of the Republican party from the average voters up to their current orange god-king have been addicted to hate and contrarianism for a long time. Everyone other than them is an enemy they must never agree with, even if it’s for something basic like building a road or following public decency guidelines. Everyone on the planet has human wants and needs, but Republicans have been publicly calling non-Republicans as inhuman demonic monsters for a while (no hyperbole necessary, their own ugly words).
So now we’re at the point where millions of wingnuts will sabotage anything that might conceivably help an ordinary person, set the planet on fire and kill themselves in the process, because they value hurting the enemy more than benefiting a group beyond themselves. It boggles the mind how these guys get a slap on the wrist for blowing up a power grid, taking bribes over Venmo or sharing revenge porn on live TV when ordinary sane people get thrown in solitary or a coffin for far less.
you’re absolutely right, and that is way more than enough for a staggering portion of the electorate.
