This framing carries the kind of contempt that propels poorer people to vote Republican. They consistently feel contempt from democrats. Should it be surprising why?
- JohnBooty 5y agoI observed that many voters value their morals/values (for example, Republicans who place a high value on preventing abortions) more highly than they value tangible goods. Many would consider that a compliment. I am such a person, or at least I strive to be. I understand well that there's a "poor Republicans are so dumb that they consistently vote against their own interests" narrative out there. It appears to me that's plainly something you brought to the table here. That trope wasn't present in my observation, either explicitly or implicitly.
