“I gotta pay for my groceries in monthly installments, but goddamn, being able to be openly racist? So worth it! Votin’ for him again in 28, hallelujah!”
In addition - it was pretty wild to see the reaction of far-right Karens queening out right after donnie’s first so-called “win” in 2016. They thought they now had a permission structure to be openly racist because of all the dog-whistles from the asshole-in-chief, and they face-planted, often losing their jobs or being utterly dunked on in viral videos of their behavior.
That’s why donnie 2.0 is so much worse. Both he and they wanted zero brakes being pumped on turning this place into a shithole country.
Also, a fuck-ton of them want to impose not only just xtianity on everyone else, but their shitty version of it.
The Seven Mountain Mandate assholes would just love to put the Constitution through the shredder, and declare that it is “freedom” to have a “Christian nation”. But I’m pretty sure that xtians like Universalist Unitarians can fuck right off under that kind of “freedom”.
Yeah, there are probably also a lot of racists among them, but it is not only racism that drives these weird, weird people.
They’ve also been sold a bill of goods about how the economy is supposed to work. And they’ll continue to accept the Republican ideological orthodoxy, for the same reason a Christian will keep prayer or an Oaklan A’s fan will keep cheering straight into the grave.
When the economy is good, it’s because Republicans did the right thing. When the economy is bad, it’s because of external forces hostile to the US or an insidious Fifth Column of undercover leftists sabotaging things. Bad economic news isn’t going to change your adherence to dogmatic beliefs, particularly when you’re dealing with a macro-economic problem that has a thousand different inputs to blame at any given moment.
As a fundamental case in point, plenty of the liberal economic strain will tell you that our economic downturn is the result of severe heat caused by climate change. But conservatives who don’t believe in climate change won’t accept that diagnosis. So they’re definitely not going to accept liberal economic reforms - particularly those intended to mitigate the causes and consequences of climate change - as a solution.
The reactionary GOP voters love the racism and authoritarian skull-cracking. It takes a lot of personal loss for them to turn on that.

Racism is a helluva Drug. As long as they can look down on Black and Brown people these racists will empty their pockets for Trump and Republicans
