We Don’t “Vote Our Own Pocketbooks”

Most Americans vote according to which candidate is most likely to make them richer, yet, as we’ve seen, this isn’t universally true.

The MAGA folks who support Trump are experiencing higher taxes, and higher prices at the gas pump and grocery store.  Many of them voted for Trump for what could be called “philosophical” reasons, largely hatred of non-White and non-Christians.

As shown at left, many women have a similar thing going on. Conservative women vote for Republicans, even though they know the party has consistently supported the oppression of their sex.  This transcends settling for lower salaries and includes various forms of abuse.
