Why do non-white, non-male, non-cis, non-het people vote Republican? Are they stupid?
Why do white, male, straight people vote Republican? Are they stupid?
I’d add that quite a few of them have also been intentionally misled. They’ve been fed a diet of shit information over the past few decades, and it has an effect.

Oh I was more being facetious than serious, but yeah that’s exactly it. It’s just so sad.
And it’s not like I’m 100% free of internalized sexism either, which is double sad. At least I’m aware of it, which is something I guess?
Smart conservatives don’t try to convince left leaning electorate to vote republican. They just want left not to vote at all
They tell leftists to refuse to vote if current administration doesn’t change their stance on problematic issues: such as position on israel, taiwan, carbon tax, housing, etc
In other words, right wing is playing into left’s fragmentation & lack of unity among factions

Ugh I think you guys just are so isolated in your bubble and the politics is so polarised that you don’t understand anything that isn’t agreeing with your own views.
You even think of it as some pure evil stuff when it’s just different views and way of life.Some people want to live traditional life and they view republicans as someone who upholds their traditional values. Probably religious too.
It may seem strange but many people have different values and what they deem important.
You can’t just go „ohwowoowa they have different views than me, how can they?” Cause that’s super immature and narcissistic

You don’t vote Republican because you want to live a traditional life. You can do that in your own house without involving politics.
You vote Republican because you want everyone else to live a traditional life.

Oh really? Did the fact that you were replying on Lefty Memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com clue you in?
You can’t just go „ohwowoowa they have different views than me, how can they?”
Actually you can, if it’s literally a community dedicated to “undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology”.
But I agree with you, they don’t vote on politics, they vote for the party they are told represent their “traditional life” and “traditional values”, probably religious too. In other words, without thinking for themselves and just taking the word of their community / religious leaders, who are in a sunk cost fallacy not to admit they’ve been wrong to the people who’ve been looking up to them. This is also the worst possible way to vote in a democracy, and if the majority of people do so, it will not be a democracy for much longer.
A “moderate” conservative acquaintance of mine told me to my face that he thinks the world would be a better place if us LGBT+ folks simply stopped existing. He’s also completely convinced that all gender identities that are not cis are fake and we’re just pretending, and that none of this stuff should be talked about in public or promoted in any way because it’s “mental illness.”
Do you fucking understand that conservatives aren’t happy with just living their life the way they want to, but they want to force me to live my life the way they want to? For someone going off about how “we guys” (leftists I guess?) are “super immature and narcissistic”, you’re being hilariously myopic about this.
Do you seriously think that any of us would have a problem with conservatives if they just fucking left us alone? I don’t give a flying fuck about how they want to live their lives and I’d be more than happy to let them do their own thing, that isn’t the fucking issue here you utter cabbage – the issue is that these people literally want me to stop existing and actually use physical violence against me (and have done so for my whole fucking life; do you think the 80’s were a great time to grow up in for someone who’s not cishet?) just because they don’t fucking approve of how I dress, how I look, and who I love.
You’ve got your head so far up your own ass that you think the problem we have with conservatives is that we don’t like that they’re different, and that they’re completely happy just letting us queers (or black people, or brown people, or whoever the fuck they’ve been told to hate) live our lives if we leave them alone? How can you be so fucking blind? Have you been paying any fucking attention to what’s been going on in the past, I dunno, SEVERAL FUCKING DECADES? Have you missed all the shootings at LGBT+ clubs? The murders? The laws restricting our access to medical treatment? The laws restricting our ability to even talk openly about who we are?
Fuck. And then you have the fucking nerve to call us immature and narcissistic, you idiotic fucking waste of carbon cunt.

You just paint some imaginary target form schizo people shooting at others or wanting others to die and call them republicans. It’s insane
You showed your true colors at the end. You are as bad as what you think you fight against
I hope you die in a fucking fire you piece of fucking human garbage

Oh how angery we are, that surely helps to prove your point
The meme literally references how you bastards took our right to bodily autonomy away and now if women are raped in half the country they have no choice but to carry the child even if it kills them. Take your traditional way of life and shove it all the way up your wazoo you livid piece of shit. Go be a fucking Bible eater at home and don’t pretend voting Republican doesn’t hurt people.
Democrats: we are genociding a lot of children in gaza. Vote for us because trump isnt polite
Well that’s certainly one of the takes of all time
You’re right about the democrats, but distilling trump to “not being polite” is an immense delusion.
There it is, the dumbest thing I’ll read all day.
They don’t vote Republican because it helps them. They vote Republican for religious reasons, because they believe that the world has to be destroyed before God becomes real.
That, or it could be a situation where they want to vote for someone else but don’t want the fallout from their significant other finding out.
