I can understand that some people might feel disappointed about the lack of progress when Democrats are in office (which is largely driven by Republican obstructionism after they take away Congress from the Democrats after the first midterm or two) but what is the fundamental reason(s) driving vast numbers of would-be Democratic voters into the arms of Republicans- who will make every single thing they care about worse- every election? Or simply not bothering to vote at all knowing (I think?) that it means that it will cost Democrats more elections and things will just get worse on all fronts? It simply baffles me why- if they really want all of the things you're talking about here to be better- they simply either give up and go home without voting or they get easily conned into voting for a moron like Trump whom rubberstamps the far-right Republican agenda that gets crazier every year instead of continuously vote for a slightly imperfect Democrat whom actually agrees with them? Sometimes I seriously wonder if a lot Americans or just masochistic and just can't handle the idea of having any good things in life and feel like we have to be in perpetual conflict and misery even when we all deserve and could theoretically choose to have a happier and more fulfilling existence? I guess that we never got over our historical Puritanical nature? Maybe that is the function that the GOP has decided to serve?
