Why do people always get caught up in words instead of using actions as their guide? It's bothered me my entire life. It makes no sense. We even have a saying "actions speak louder than words." And yet, people get hung up on words nearly every time.
Agree!!! I keep saying that about the Democrats. People I know who vote Democrat always seem to uncritically swallow whatever the democrat politicians say, and pay zero attention to what they actually DO 😕
Oh, without a doubt. Dem voters were told in school, usually college, that Dems are good, antiwar, not racists, pro-women, "on the right side of history," and so on; and that Rs are warmongering, racist, misogynists (even the women), who just want to take everyone's money. And they uncritically, unthinkingly believe it. The recent attacks on women via the trans agenda and the attacks on free speech have finally woken some up.
Republican voters are a bit more split in that regard, IME. Some of the country club types vote (R) reflexively. IME, Trump voters are actually the most engaged and informed. They've been burnt so many times by both parties that they have a healthy (sometimes excessive) skepticism. One of the many little things that opened my eyes. A process that continues daily, lol. So many many things we have been told that don't align with what is real or true.
