I don't know what to think about that. I don't think that low income Republican voters will feel the face eating of the leopards they voted for as what it is.
And I'm not even American, but I can see that this exact same thing is going to happen here in Europe/Germany as well. People will vote for the extreme right parties that have all their propaganda on how they are going to give money to the small people and make the country more secure - and at the same time their political programs and past behavior screams "we will give tax cuts mainly to the ultra rich and never cared about the low income people".
And they still get voted for. We just love us some good old fashioned fascism. Maybe I need to change my mindset and just be like "let's gooooo"
Left parties are also to blame for this. I always vote for the left party but lately I am not OK with about 70% of their agenda.
A rising number of people are concerned about immigration but left parties just ignore that and pushes for more immigration.
Immigration causes lot of issues. You see many immigrants pick pocketers in touristic areas, you hear a lot of crime cases involving immigrants, many prostitutes are immigrants and are exploited. It is maybe few but why adding more crimes when we already have enough of it.
Many immigrants rely on welfare and are eligible as some immigrants do not allow their wives to work and having multiple children is a norm. Left parties always vote against any restrictions.
They push salaries down and causes unemployment. Many do not want to work on underpaid jobs like in restaurants. But immigrants are OK to take those jobs and push salaries down.
So people see that left parties are doing nothing for this, left parties do not want upset their base which contain a lot of people from immigration. So people go to right and far right parties.
There are no left parties in America.
I am answering Op who is in Germany and situation is the same as in my country.
