33. They are voting for "winners" the end justifies the means these days
We have become such a winner takes all sports society that nothing else matters.
They also vote on the fear factor, the Christians fear they are being overtaken by non-Christians from what they seem to feel is their rightful place as rulers of the country.
White men fear that "their" jobs are being taken by anyone that isn't them as they have first choice at jobs and if they don't want them then and only then can the job be offered to a female or minority.

This country seems to worship bullies - Kids that are tormented for years at school some how deserve it. When these kids try and defend themselves or just snap - they are told they have no right to do that either. The same mentality has invaded the work place and politics.
