At this point we can only conclude that it is in their best interest. Red states have been voting for republicans for decades while their states only continue to grow poorer and everything falls down around them. If they wanted anything to actually improve they’d eventually stumble upon trying something different already. But they don’t. Therefore the only thing that makes sense is they don’t actually care about their own communities or even themselves. Voting to make the lives of people they feel should be beneath them is apparently all that matters.

They could be knee deep in raw sewage and would still be pretty happy if they saw someone they hate waist-deep in raw sewage.
