(154,021 posts)6. Just because people listen to Fox and vote against their own interests
does not automatically mean they are assholes.
Also if this is a rich republican, he is voting his interests, just saying.
Yup, I am that cynical.
One of my neighbors is an archetypical republican as far as voting and political views. He is a wonderful person otherwise.
He knows we are part of the liberal press corp, and was very impressed with the fair and neutral reporting we did during the Filner scandal. It is to the point he is actually thinking of supporting the paper. He would never ever, in his wildest dreams, give a donation to KPBS.
He said one day in the elevator, quite casually, "I wish FOX was that balanced" after we ran back to back the supporters and recall fans stories.

A Republican doesn't have to be a bad person, just someone who is easily persuaded by propaganda.

I find the lowest common denominator is fear. Fear of change, of loss, of favored status.
