Exactly. I’m surprised the race for the senate majority is still so close. It is baffling when the average voter chooses the GOP when they only represent special interest groups and wealthy top1%

Baffles me that these folks literally vote against their own best interests in election after election.

They consider culture war stuff to be their "deeply held values" and think that's what they are voting on. And while they'll definitely be tossed some red meat like ICE, they're mostly voting for someone to empty their pockets to give more to the already rich.

Even though all the democrat senatorial candidates are all incredibly moderate when it comes to those kinds of “cultural values issues”.

The Fox News/Rush Limbaugh propaganda machine that has been brainwashing people since the 90’s has been incredibly effective and still seems to be.
