They think they are losing what little they have to minorities and it drives them nuts. They think voting Republican is their salvation.

I have three cousins who are very hard workers and very nice and loving women for the most part. But they spend their evenings drinking beer, smoking cigarettes and listening to Mark Levin and Michael Savage. Then they wonder why their lives are tough and they blame others.

Tried to talk to them but it is no use.
