I think you have it wrong, Brian. The people don’t want the government to provide for them or for anyone else. Don’t write all poor republican voting people off as ignorant. There’s more to it than getting more or less handouts.
Just curious, do you call wallowing in crap subsistence welfare and all it’s misery for generations and voting democrat smart? You act like everyone who votes democrat is a high functioning genius. I bet more Jerry Springer participants vote democrat than republican.
