The right wing is a political powerhouse with lots of "followers".
I'm trying to figure out why.
Their policies are disasters. -stimulus
They don't help the Middle Class which is the majority of their base. -both parties
They have two economic policies - cut taxes for the wealthy and cut support for anyone else. -not actually true but whatever (yea, whatever - because it IS true and we all know it)
They insist they are religious but don't act anything like the religion they say they belong to. -some do, some dont. LIberals do the same with liberalism, they act way too close minded and prejudiced for liberals
They don't build anything. -neither party builds anything
They don't create anything. -both parties create debt and horrible govt programs
They don't discover anything. -neither side does
They are good at blowing things up. -both sides are.....libya
They have no foreign policy. - wrong, both sides have foreign policies
No domestic policy. -wrong both sides have domestic policies
How do they get so much support based on nothing of any value. I've only heard Republican leaders say, "So?" and "Mind your own business". You have a criminal in two states in Vitter still part of the party. And they are "proud" to have him.
I just don't get it. Seriously. What is it? Can someone explain it to me?
See my additions, I hope that I helped.
It would help if it were true. The majority of scientists are Democrats. That right there tells the story. Right wingers insist "science" suffers from a "liberal bias". But it's the right that's closed to education and science.
The stimulus wasn't a disaster. Even Ronald Reagan's former economic adviser said it helped. It could have been better. But it had too many tax cuts and it should have been more focused, but Republicans blocked it unless the money went directly to the states.
Liberals are not close minded. Think about why. For one, the Republicans are 90% white and mostly Christian. They think alike because they ARE alike. Democrats and liberals are "everyone else". What they do has to be by censuses. That's just a fact that can't be denied.
There are no troops in Libya. Iraq was an invasion for no reason. Obama is supporting NATO in Libya with a goal of keeping the populace from being slaughtered.
Democrats want to invest in the infrastructure. If they don't build anything, it's because they are being blocked by Republicans. Can't be denied.
