My interests when I vote is a limited federal government which follows the principles the Constitution was based on and lots of freedom to follow my own interests in my life. Everyone has different personal interests which a single government cannot cater to (money, vacations, cars, free time, retirement savings, etc) but if we are allowed we can each choose to work more, or get education/training for a better job, or slack off, or whatever is “best” for us.
With that limited government, I can take care of my interests with respect to family, finances, business, etc.
If I were interested in “free stuff” from an unlimited government, then I have been voting “against my interests”. Lefties who have no principles or who have “big government” principles and want to be taken care of and have their life dictated to them can’t understand people having different personal interests/goals so they keep saying stupid stuff about people they disagree with.
Well said!
