There are many reasons people vote for Democrats, but one not mentioned here is the sports-mind mentality of “They are my team”.
Like some Patriot fans, we have some Republicans and many Democrats who will support their guy regardless what is right or wrong.
And one of them is social class. In New England, the factory owners grandchildren still look down their noses at the factory workers grandchildren, and they never miss a chance to make it obvious.
Those factory owners grandchildren chair the county committees, run the golf tournaments and the receptions, and choose the candidates from among their own.
Along those lines you explained and also (especially younger ones) they vote Dem because its seen as being more in and hip with the times like fashion — easily manipulated by the LSM. Partly explains why their voters often are the brain dead.
On the sports side of that analogy, if you think it is limited only to Patriots fans the you are delusional.
Yes...what you said...I’ve thought that for years. And the media are their cheerleaders.
