[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The GOP is pandering to their new " base" , which is uneducated and unemployed/ under- employed and typically divorced white men. As we all know, in the last few years the life expectancy rate of working class white men is actually declining for the 1st time in USA history.

Clearly, this is a voting block of the USA that has PROBLEMS. Socio-Economic problems severe and long standing enough that their life expectancy is falling. ENTER the GOP

I say that the "pandering" to these uneducated and under/unemployed white men because IF the GOP truly wanted to INCREASE the chance that a Woman would want to marry such a man and have his baby ( rather than opt for divorce and/or abortion to pursue better prospects on her own), what the GOP COULD DO to actually help their voter base is:

*  Nationalize Health Car, which would  give businesses back 30% of their employer costs and allow them the margins to raise these men's wages
     *  Bring American manufacturing back to USA so these uneducated men can get their higher earning union jobs back
     *  Pass mandatory $15/hr min wage ( many of these UNDER employed men work a double shift 7a-3/ 3-11pm) for about $7/hr because minimum wage is soooo low ( of course no woman wants to marry or have a baby with a GROWN man who only earns $7/hr
     
      * fully paid 12 month maternity leave for every pregnant woman in America- you know, like most developed countries offer

Those are REAL policies the GOP COULD TAKE to help its base . Trying to force the women of this social class to have a baby will only compound their poverty. It also won't work. Women will always find a way out, which is why all this GOP talk to ban abortion is just poor public policy that won't deliver what these men want: good paying jobs and a family [/quote]

+2. Former Ohioan who watches my friends and family from a distance and wonder what the actual eff is happening to them. They voting in ways that is against their interests in every single way possible. [/quote]

Turns out that being a hateful pos is more important to them than actual best interest[/quote]
LBJ was not wrong when he said: “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

Women, LGBTQIA+, different races, immigrants, different religious people… the primary signifier of GOP voters is that they want to lord over someone else and beyond that they don’t care how little they have or how much is taken from them. [/quote]

That's one of my favorite quotes. More recent survey research bears it out[/quote]
