I used to think that there were a lot of simply miss-understood/miss-informed R folks, who only backed the fascist racist party because they somehow did not know it was the fascist racist party (because of miss-information from Fox/Rush, etc). However, I’ve since realized (because I’ve made the mistake of finding myself in “political” discussions enough times) they do know it’s the fascist racist party, and they are perfectly OK with that, and fully support it. Sure, most of them are not putting on white hoods and burning crosses, or lacing up jack-boots and putting on red arm-bands and proudly marching in the streets screaming “jews will not replace us”, but they have absolutely no objection to the people who do, and quietly support them and give them a thumbs up. They care absolutely nothing about fairness, justice, or freedom as it pertains to other people, as long as they think that they, personally, may be on the benefiting side of any unfairness, injustice, or infringements on others’ freedoms. They feel as long as they only support them in quiet ways such as voting for them, or wearing a red cap, they can deny their reasons for supporting them. But they do support them, and support them because of the fascist racist policies that they think will make them personally better off (both because they think they will not be on the receiving end, and they think that if resources (taxes, jobs, etc) are redirected away from the targets of suppression, that they will then see those resources redirected to themselves.
