vote on single issues:

They hate Mexicans who might get a job they might want
They hate women - especially any woman who might get an abortion that they don't approve of.
They hate LGBTQ people
They are scared of "socialism" (which does not exist in the US and never has, but FASCISM does). Yet, they completely ignore that and/or are blind to it because they're too busy looking for non-existent socialism.

Oh, but they LOVE their family. They just refuse to vote FOR their family - to get or continue to get Medicare and Social Security or Healthcare (ACA), for instance. Or to have clean air to breathe or clean water to drink. Or a healthy planet to live on.

Why? Because it's more important for them to vote AGAINST those people they hate than to vote FOR those they allegedly "love".

And OH, they are CHRISTIANS don'tchaknow. Just don't expect them to ACT like it or VOTE like it, because that ain't happening.

Pure goddamned insanity.
