About three-fourths of republican voters; At least where I work

Regarding the right wing christians, the ones I'm around knuckle under authority because it's seemingly the moral thing to do. The boss is right because he's....well...the boss. Honor they boss because he payeth your salary and putteth food on thy table. That sort of thing.

The guns are of course, nuts. Nothing else matters. Even if they're intellectually honest enough to admit republicans are anti-labor, they'll point out that some democratic pols are too and that in any case they can stop full blown fascism taking hold in the US because the public is armed. Yeah right!

A third angle is the classic "me me me" one. As long as they themselves are still gainfully employed, they care fuck all about anybody else. That, and the "everybody is overpaid but me" attitude.

I can't stand being in the same room with all these lunkheads and keep to myself unless I absolutely have to interact with them professionally.
