I'd like to thank all those conservative voters who re-elected their Republican representatives as they promised to address the “kitchen table issues” that affect most Americans. Watching the GOP clown car ignore inflation, wealth inequity, healthcare, and infrastructure to play games with Hunter Biden's laptop, laws against COVID vaccines, banning books, and preventing drag story hours has clearly shown GOP values (which complete disregard the issues most people really care about.)
But it's the clown car that they signed up for and they're thrilled with it. At least the ones that I know are loving every minute of it. They've got some "gotcha" moment every day that they're bragging about. January 6th videos "finally seeing the light of day" and banning "the biowarfare vaccine" and "keeping the kids safe from groomer librarians" etc.
As much as you and I think it's absurd, they're getting what they voted for, loving it and can't wait to vote for more of it in 2024.

For a fairly large slice of that population, you are right - they get exactly what they voted for, and loving the inferno even if it means it will burn down their own house eventually. As long as it burns down the houses of those they have been told they hate first, then their own eventual destruction is fine by them.
There are several really big forces of change right now - climate change, Industry 4.0, demographic shift, etc.
These are being ignored in favor of theatrics
