Why do red states so strikingly vote against their own interests? - ill

-------------------

Psssst. Bill, we aren't. It is just you can't perceive what those interests are. Ges asks the same question over and over again. I've boiled the answer down to two words hoping he will grasp, but still he asks. Economy and Security.

Security is used in the broad senses here encompassing domestic crime, immigrant crime securing the border, sidewalk encampments, antisemitism, no cash bail for violent repeat offenders, and probably a few others. The things that make law abiding people miserable and dangerous and destructive to small business.

You could include the international threats that are many but I don't think that is on the mind nearly as much with voters than the threats that are wandering the streets and sidewalks where they live.
