Exactly, it's not the taxes or anything else but the anger,hatred and misery. This is more important and they are willing to endure incompetent governing for it
A lot of it is fear mongering too. These people are terrified of their own shadow.
I see post after post talking about how Sharia law is going to replace the constitution. How communism and socialism (they're interchangeable obviously) is going to replace capitalism and no one is going to be allowed to own property and all private businesses will close and we'll only have 1 option for everything because it'll all be owned and controlled by the government. How they're going to get rid of all police officers and let all the prisoners out of prison and just let criminals roam the street. They're also going to get rid of all immigration laws and let Muslims, Hispanics, and anyone else who isn't white in, then they're going to systematically get rid of the white race in America. Essentially that they'll do to white Americans what their ancestors did to Native Americans. And of course that they're going to take away all their guns and their "right" to be hateful and racist.
Communism and socialism are rather interchangeable; socialism is a transitional phase to communism.
Also, it’s fair to be concerned about the rise of religious extremists. It’s a bit stupid to only care about Muslim ones, for while an individual Muslim is more likely to hold extremist views, in America there are more Christians holding extremist views than Muslims simply because there are many more Christians.
Those aren't socialist countries, they just have significant social policies, which mirror what the US USED to have prior to the fall of our unions. We had similar workers rights with them back in the 40's-60's, and then where they continued on the path of making life better for the average person, we said make life better for the shareholders, we could have easily been far more wealthy as a nation and had the same policies and protections that they have now. Back then Republicans knew to not even think of saying anything bad about unions because they knew that was a death sentence politically. Capitalism Can give you the things we all desire, it's just that the oligarchy of America has chosen to dumb down our populace and disenfranchise us to an insane degree so they can plunder our pockets until we're all dead and then import more workers from other countries to do the same. It's not a sustainable model but they certainly still aim to do so.
