9. The ones (RepubliCONS) I talk to don't buy into everything

They buy one ideology and tolerate the rest.

They will say no they don't want their grandmothers' Social Security taken away, they don't believe the RepubliCONS will do that. But they are racist and like that about the RepubliCON party, or they are anti-choice and like that, or they are super religious and want religion in our government, or they like tariffs. They see how awful RepubliCONS are about other issues and they don't like it. But they vote for the CONS anyway because of their pet issue.

You are right though, even if the RepubliCONS represented my pet issue, and a few do, I would never vote for them just because of how awful those other issues are. You have to tolerate a whole lot of disgusting hatefulness to vote RepubliCON.
