A recent survey showed that ~75% of republicans support the concept of net neutrality. The problem is that republican lawmakers overwhelmingly don’t support net neutrality.
I think it’s a good idea to remind republicans that their elected officials are doing things they don’t approve of. Hopefully they will put pressure on them to re-instate NN, and vote for pro-NN candidates in the future.
- SpikeDad 9y agoRepublicans have made it an art form to get their base to support things that are bad for them. Just look at the new tax bill, reduction of social services. The list is extensive. As long as they feed the agenda in their base's minds that voting for Republicans is voting for people like that who are against (or hate) the "other" folks then there's not much Republicans can't do to satisfy their real benefactors - rich folks and corporations.
