“Do you think McCain is proud of his narrow minded voters?”
I don’t think proud is an issue here; he’ll take any support he can get and continues to promote a campaign that chooses not to improve his proposals but simply disparages his opponent.
Assume you are buying a product and you have narrowed you search down to 2 brands. The salesperson at one store tells you about the benefits of buying that brand while the salesperson at the other store only tells you the “bad” things about the other brand.
Unfortunately the majority of voters vote by brand name: democrat vs republican; liberal vs. conservative…which, in my opinion is a stupid way to vote.
What concerns me most now is the rising tide of voices that are blantly racist, perjorative, and promote a permanent underclass thinly guised as political discourse. That free speech shouldn’t happen if someone doesn’t like what they hear. That speaking against America’s decision’s is antiAmerican. That, ultimately, the constitution includes more than they like.
The far right has gone way beyond their republican core values and are now embracing jingoism and statolatry, both fundamental aspects of facism.
