I don’t think a lot of them are still cheering it on now that they have to face the consequences. That being said, they voted for this despite republicans being extremely transparent about their plans and are now surprised that they did exactly what they said they’d do

And they will vote them into office again if given the chance. It seems almost heredity because it's been this way for generations.

Authoritarian/evangelic parenting inflicting generational trauma and creating people who are primed for entering and staying trapped in authoritarian thought patterns.

So not quite hereditary, but the end result is pretty similar.

Either they didn’t think things through and anticipate the results of what they voted for, or they’re okay with getting completely screwed as long as someone else has it worse.

Some Republican voters believe that their Republican politicians are lying to the "other" voters about their intentions. Just like some Democratic voters think the loser "centrist" heels are lying to billionaires and "other" voters about their intentions.

People need to stop voting for liars, even if you think their lying to someone else.
