Not necessarily. If you were born into a household that watches Fox… Guess what you believe. There’s a reason the South so powerfully believes in that garbage. Not to mention Fox is on in the lobbies of sooo many business lobbies. It is very difficult to escape a cult.
As much as I loathe the right wing, the people it has engulfed might not have been that way under a different upbringing. Nature vs. nurture.
The American people didn’t blindly vote for this. Fox News (among others) has been brainwashing them for decades. Fox is the number one watched source of news. Republicans have also destroyed education and regulations to allow for people to be brainwashed.
It’s not as simple as laziness.
I will never understand how people that strongly identify as Christian have never actually read the book their identity is based upon.
There’s plenty of Bible verses about worshipping false idols, and greed. Here are a couple:
All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless.
Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.
…Yet Christians worship a ruthless billionaire and a rapist.
Couldn’t you just use a charcoal pencil or crayon instead?
“I’m an uninformed idiot.”
Conservatives are fiscally reckless. Look at every conservative president’s deficit spending, and economic crashes. Look at the states most dependent on federal funds.
Even if you had zero morals and voted 100% on fiscal policies, the best choice is very clearly not conservative.
Promise?
