I have seen this in JA and in the US. One political party supports the rich and implements policies that are detrimental to the broader population, but still people vote for the party that does not help them.

The Republicans are not for helping the poorer people and most Americans fall in this category (poorer). You would think that poor people especially, would value healthcare so much that any attempt to take it away would be a non starter. You would think that poor people would see that giving the rich billions to create a lot of minimum wage jobs is not in their interest, but they don't see it that way.

It is most interesting. Has anyone not asked why are so many "red" states dirt poor.

I cannot believe that ones desire to disassociate from Black people could be so strong that they vote against their own interest by voting Republican.

Part tribalism and the need to support your “tribe”. Oftentimes, you and your family have been supporting the same party” since “Adam was a lad”.

Part hatred. You just hate the other part primarily because you hate the other people who support that party. Nothing that party does or say can get you to change your mind about supporting them.

You hatred of the “others” has been taught within your your own family and among those you primarily associate with.

I would guess the former applies to Jamaica more so than the latter, while the latter is primarily a historical part of the social, cultural and political evolution of America.

Nitro we have everything to lose including our lives and the lives of our families if Trump is reelected. Almost 95000 people have died from Covid 19 and the only thing Trump is concerned about is that he gets re-elected, we used to say Black Lives Matter but to Trump nobody's lives matter. We need competent leadership
