20. Oh, they are ALWAYS in their feelings.

The data, the evidence, and real world experience does not support their ideology. They love to trumpet "Facts don't care about your feelings" but the reality is that EMOTION is all they have to rile up their voters.

Conservatives do not vote based on rational decision making. How does shifting the tax burden from the people with the most wealth, to the people with the least, stimulate an economy? Why would wealthy business owners hire more people and pay people more, when they can push the existing workforce to do more, or automate? The answer to both is, "It doesn't and They wouldn't". Wealthy people only seem to care about making more money and gaining more power. If you aren't wealthy, then you really have little reason to vote for Conservative policies.

I know there are motivations like promoting Christianity, maintaining the privileged status of men, and White people, but again, those are EMOTIONAL things based on anger and fear.
