"Millions of Americans care about things you probably don't care about -- they care about abortion and cultural issues and gun rights and the like and thus get convinced that Republicans serve their interests better."
I don't begrudge anyone their beliefs or their personal desires and cultural preferences, certainly. But when they sacrifice their economic well being and their civil rights--or mine--in order to preserve or elimnate one 'right', that's just not very clear thinking. That's been what's going on politically in this country for a generation or more, and that's how Republicans manage to get the very people that suffer the most under their policies to fervently back them. It has to stop, and people have to become more politically astute and sophisticated.
