2. Why is it that union households voted for repukes?
It is clear that repukes view unions as a blight on the world yet they voted for them anyway.

"Although members of labor-union households, for example, are commonly thought to be Democrats, the Republicans can expect in most elections to receive at least one-third of the labor union vote, and in 1984, the party received 46 percent of the union vote. In 2000, union households voted 37 percent Republican."

It's as if they want to destroy the very unions they belong to.
