I have members of my family who think in terms of limited scope when it comes to politics. My religious sister and my brother's wife both want Trump to win based on the abortion issue alone.
This bothers me still even as it no longer perplexes. People vote with little information and often uni-dimensionally. They will grab a single issue or even just say I don't trust Harris and hate the way she laughs. It is not intelligent voting but it works for them.
I would then offer that if they are so Christian they should also be concerned with the party that tends to better look after the disenfranchised. Once that baby is born to a poor mother the GOP couldn't care less about its fate which is the ultimate height of hypocrisy.
I would ask them both basic questions about how US politics works and they would be stumped. Nevertheless they are very firm in their views which enrages my better informed 88 year old mother who then calls me to vent.
