      Let’s be real US voting behavior has always leaned towards fucking over any one not light, bright, and white. No other group has consistently voted republican as white ppl. Hating liberals is incredibly recent. Liberals loved Clinton when he was cutting off social benefits because the idea was black ppl were the primary users.
