And when it does affect them directly, it’s one of:
See? The government doesn’t work so we need more privatization. Vote Republican to dismantle socialization.
This dysfunction happened under a Democratic president who was left with a fucking mess to clean up by the former Republican POTUS, a Republican supermajority SCOTUS, and a divided Congress whose Republicans stonewall meaningful progress. Vote Republican to get the Dems out.
It’s the (non-white) immigrants’ fault probably for stealing my socialist benefits (non-whites in general, but making it about immigration gives me plausible deniability for my obvious racism). Vote Republican to get the immigrants out.
And the damn republicans do this shit on purpose. Like fix a problem only to have it expire for the next president who likely wont be republican to fix so they can start the blame game all over. Or vote against something so they can blame the current administration for not fixing the problem.
It’s like they don’t have any useful ideas at all and run on dysfunction, fear, and hate.
