Are you saying "some republican voters are good people" or "some republican politicians are good people"?
For the first one, that's probably true but irrelevant. I think most republican voters are trying to do good with their vote, but they've got so caught up in Republican fascism that they honestly think voting red is good.
For the second one, I highly doubt it. They don't have the cult behavior excuse, so at best, they're completely selfish, enough to put their job security over the lives of others.
I agree strongly with you. The problem is weak leadership from the republicans. The people are just along for the ride on the most part. If the politicians weren’t so spineless and scared of losing their own power they might actually stand up to the shit ones for what they believe in
Then you shouldn't just vote republican or democrat, but as an american. I don't label myself as either one - but over the last several elections the choice has been obviously democrat because of the republicans trying to seize power so much. If they could modernize their platform at all I would think about voting for them - but they're stuck in the 1950s.
So to cut power stop voting on party lines. Show that you'll vote based on who has the best ideas, not a simple "I'll always vote R"
