It’s the same reason you can ask Republican voters whether they’re part of the 1% who benefit from tax cuts and a ridiculous number think they DO. Conditioned to vote against their own self interests. Hand them a whip and they’ll beat themselves. Unfortunately because of the electoral college, e.g. the only way they win elections anymore, they can drag us to hell with them.

You have inspired some Sunday morning rambings:

I am really tired of being locked in a room with the slow learners and jerkholes, and I'm beginning to think that the entire US Senate is inherently undemocratic. LA county alone has more people than at least ten Rethuglican taker states. WTF? That is not equal representation, especially when it's only the US Senate that can vote for SCOTUS, which has proclaimed itself the supreme rule of all that is and will ever be. That is not what the founders had in mind. This country feels like an off-balance load spinning around in the washing machine. In my next life I'm going to be Canadian.

I’ve often wondered if the rulings of the Supreme Court are not enforceable by the Supreme Court , and the Supreme Court has no mechanism to police itself why is anyone listening to them ?They have no reason to find in the interest of the laws that the people overwhelmingly support.Why are we not enforcing a code of conduct that would make them accountable for their actions , all other courts have to follow rules that the Congress can and does enforce?The politicians have screwed up the intent of the Constitution so badly that nobody knows how to fix the friggen damage that they ,the “politicians” have caused to the Constitution, something must be done out side of the corrupt system that the hacks in the government have created for themselves that makes them almost invincible and self righteous as well as perpetually living on the people’s dime ,like cockroaches we can’t get them out of the House or the Senate,they are literally self perpetuating infestations !This is not how our government was intended to function! We have to find a way to force the hacks in the elected government to do the bidding of the people,I mean really aren’t they supposed to be working for us , the people? The percentage of honorable politicians is,if that is possible less than it’s ever been by the looks of things! Granted there are still some people in the Congress that have honor ,but they are so few that they are limited to doing what is necessary to get an honest functioning government that we canTRUST ,to do the work of the people! The Foxes shouldn’t be allowed to determine their stay in the friggen hen house !
