I know people who vote "Republican" because they always have. Other people only receive information from self-reinforcing sources and aren't able to recognize the growing gap between the propaganda and reality, particularly where the Republican party's efforts regarding their welfare is concerned.

Then there are a few who are rich, white, male assholes who know they are truly the only constituents of Republicanism. Not much can be done with them, unfortunately.
