Because this country is filled with ignorant NASCAR watching, wackjob worshipping, simple-minded, easily persuaded, Duck Dynasty idiots.
Call it stereotyping. Doesn't make it any less true. We are a nation filled with stupid people who are so easily convinced by the Republican Party of things that simply are not true. The GOP has been making promises to these toothless losers for decades on abortion, gay rights, gun control, etc. Yet they never deliver while the brainless masses continue to see the value of their paychecks diminish and 1%ers take more and more.
I have little faith in the future of 'Merica.
