If theres one motivating factor behind the average Republicans vote, its anger. And thats not necessarily a good thing, considering most of that anger is drummed up by the right-wing media machine for ratings.
Ring of Fires Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.

The reason I don't call them this acronym to their faces is that they might be packing heat, especially where Conceal Carry, Stand Your Ground and other ludicrous laws have become so prevalent.
OK, for that matter, you can also apply these if the need suits you:
Ludicrous

(2,548 posts)I'm, politically, somewhere to the right of Bernie and the left of Hilary. Just because my skin color is that of a Caucasian, that I'm no longer militarily draftable, and my temperament is just fine thank you (except when I see things like Donald the trumpet vie for the presidency) it does not follow that I'm categorically some auto defined lunatic from the far right. I own no guns, don't have a bunker or an attack dog, I'm educated, have children and like lots of different things that you may or may not approve of. I don't define you by your appearance, unless you wear something that pushes an agenda. lets not discard all older white folk just because faux news seems to appeal to those folk from the old confederacy.

(30,741 posts)with one of my friends, an older white guy. I called the republicans, "the party of old, white men." He became very angry with me.
He said he was an old white man. He had never voted for a repubbie in his life. His wife, a Democrat, was married to an old, white man, and she was happy.
I guess I should have kept my mouth shut.
p.s. My husband is 71.
