I just can't understand what makes so many people want to support the Republican Party. They aren't rich and they aren't going to benefit much (if any) from the tax cuts.

Everyone knows that the rich keep getting richer while things get harder and harder for the rest of us. How can they possibly think that voting for the party of the rich will do anything other than make that worse?

A party with the agenda of today's Republican Party should be a fringe party in a modern first-world country like the U.S. - polling not much more than the Libertarians.

Somehow, they have achieved effective-majority status. And it's hard for me to understand why without being very uncharitable to a huge portion of my fellow countrymen.
