Frustrating. In the states, White conservatives (and white people in general) are the special base that American elected officials seem to only listen to and have considerable power. Safe and secure, not really needing to worry about things (but they do anyway oh and tell you what to do).
As long as that group get’s theirs they will keep voting in these politicians who really do not care about all people only money.
Their entire voting base is doggedly fixed on the idea of turning up to vote even if they hate the candidate or even the current party platform. At the other end you have people who who consider not voting to be a high-minded protest, who only turn up for candidates who are ideologically pure enough: in other words, voters who represent no threat at all and can be ignored. Is it any wonder that those who only care about having power cater to the people who will still vote for you while you piss on them?
