There's an actor that looks just like Gianforte and its driving me crazy trying to remember the guy's name. He's a character actor type that I've seen in a ton of stuff but nothing I can think of off the top of my head, anyone know who I'm talking about?

Republican voters will vote for people who want to literally kill children and the elderly with their policies, why wouldn't they vote for a white nationalist who would knock a globalist reporter on his back?

You can use some sweeping generalizations to describe most republicans like wanting to hurt the poor, wanting to make the rich richer and being in lockstep on their agendas no matter how terrible.

What are some generalizations you could use on democrats? besides that every now and then one of them can't keep their dick in their pants which directly leads to a complete idiot becoming president?

Democrats want to punish success. They don't believe in personal responsibility and are making entire generations dependent on the government. They want to take your guns, and demand the tolerance and acceptance of every ideology and lifestyle except for Christianity.

Because financial literacy is an important factor in the retention of poverty across generations. There's a definite skillset involved in knowing how to manage money effectively, and many people in poverty lack that basic knowledge through no fault of their own. For many people, even if they are fortunate enough to gain access to increased wealth, it often doesn't lead to an increased quality of life because they literally don't know how to handle it.

"Decorum and common sense but also voted for Donald Trump" feels like a group that can't be very large.

Edit: That doesn't rule out "People who didn't vote but want to vote against the crazy bodyslam guy" though.

It is also possible the person had already voted by mail and once someone votes for a particular candidate it is all but impossible to get them to not support that candidate because that would mean admitting to themselves that their vote was a mistake

No matter how many "understanding Trump voters" articles I read, I still don't understand how someone can have the cognitive dissonance to think they are for "small government" when they literally want politicians to act without any accountability whatsoever, as long as it's their guy doing the kicking.

Detention centers? Lock em up! Pesky journalists? Beat them! Protestors? Traitors! It's so bizarre. What do they actually think is in the constitution? How does their brain even justify this?

Well, on some level, Fox doesn't want to set a precedent for reporters being attacked, seeing as how they are (by some definition) a news organization.

The average voter takes whatever measure of stability they have for granted and is generally apolitical or posts on the internet about how theres a better way through the shining light of libertarianism. The former is an order of magnitude larger than the latter.

They divide the world into "the good people" and "the bad people" and assume that because they're one of the good people, it will never happen to them.

It's basically them experiencing the effects of privilege coupled with the Just World fallacy.

They're emotionally stunted morons who've reduced politics to tribalism​ and domination. They're happy whenever their "side" wins, there is no consistent ideological underpinning and it's a fool's errand to try to suss one out of their ramblings.
