I know this is idealism, but I honestly think part of it is also that dems aren't genuine. Like they are more effective fascists - People in mass aren't opposing them when they do things like mass deportations or the pipeline over indegenous land. They are better at doing fashy stuff. But you can just tell they don't really care, there's no real motivation behind apart from just pure powerlust.
Whereas the republicans have some real psychos.
I think Dem voters are often genuine in that they worry about the world and have empathy and want a world with less suffering. But Dem politicians? Definitely not genuine. This is why they aren't effective. They say the right things to convince Dem voters that they will do good, but doing good is never the real intention. It's all just a marketing ploy and Dem voters fall for it like clockwork every single election
For sure! I also think that goes the other way (let me make it clear I think they are bloodthirsty demons, I'm not trying to apologize for the dems) in that the reason Kamala is supporting Israel is that the campaign has calculated that that position will win her 0.3% more voters than the other position. It's why you see dems say shit like "why won't the republicans vote for us, even though we are even more brutal to immigrants? Are they stupid? Look! Look! We can put them in cages too!"
It's because it's robotic. It's cold and calculating. I think I'm doing a trope here, but I think republican voters want some real honest to god spite. It's the same reason Ted Cruz is hated even among republicans, he's like a democrat. Just a Pete Butt in another shape
