If you always thought of it as a blue state, you were just wrong. So, let's stop there.
It's disturbing how many of you teenagers and college kids equate liberal with "cool," LOL. If you want to think that way, fine; I can't stop you, and I have no interest in doing so. However, there are several rich, entertaining and scenic places that vote Republican every once in a while, and it's frankly hilarious that so many of you think of Democrats as strictly enlightened urbanites and Republicans as backwards rural folk. Ignorance is bliss, though!
The Republicans that aren't backwards Condeferate Degenerates are low-IQ religious culture warriors that are single issue (Abortion) voters. And yes, that includes the ones that are outside the South. I have yet to meet one that didn't fall into one of those categories.
I guess that's why Republicans have historically done better in suburbs, usually win the college-educated vote (though they do lose the post-grad vote) and ROUTINELY win the richest income brackets comfortably? LOL, your simplistic generalizations kind of explain why you're such a sh*tty poster, though.
Your party consistently wins the votes of the poorest Americans and the least educated (high school education or less), so I'm thinking you shouldn't throw stones...
Pfft! Please. Every study and survey shows that people with lower IQ's tend to vote Republican, as those that can't understand complex issues and have very simple thought processes are more attracted to right-wing ideology. Thus this is why the more educated you are, the more liberal you tend to be.
Stop trolling. In no democratic political system in the world are there parties that monopolize the votes of people who are 'smart' or 'dumb'.
Maybe (and I don't know if this is the case, but it would make sense to me) people who "can't understand complex issues" are more likely to be apathetic, but it doesn't make them likelier to support one side or the other.
Anyway, in terms of your claim that Republicans are largely motivated by social issues, there are plenty of people on this very forum who disprove your claim (I think I've noted many times that I am pro-choice, pro-gay rights, secular, and still manage to be a Republican by virtue of my opinions on foreign affairs and economics).
