Why significant numbers of Americans are sufficiently stupid to vote against their own well-being is a continuing mystery to me. I think the correct explanations primarily have to do with extreme amounts of propaganda, a national media that has forgotten how to fact-check, a relatively uneducated population, racism, the cynical use of religion as a political tool, low voter turn-out, and the rigging of elections.

it's hilarious that even as you blast prog propaganda in the overwhelming majority of high schools you still have the gall to complain that America is "uneducated". How incompetent do you have to be to have near 100% control of kids' minds in their most vulnerable years and still fail on this scale. In truth the red is spreading because the Democratic party openly discriminates against white people outside of the small ruling clique and more and more of them are waking up to the fact that they are simply not welcomed there. "Will I get a crippling hospital bill" is a concern but far from the only one.
