all this is true, and i want to add they're also told that there are people that can fix things for them if they just believe in them and give them whatever they need to return to the "good old days"; in the united states; this is always a republican leader.

i think that this gives them hope for a brighter future and this hope makes them seem happier than others. they're fooled into having faith that things will eventually get better, so long as they keep showing up to vote for their "protector" (and they VERY MUCH reliably do) or else someone else with take charge who will then let those evil lgbt, poor, immigrants, etc. destroy the country. in the united states this someone else is always a democratic leader.

liberals have to find their own source of hope and; in the united states; most place it upon a democratic leader, but liberals see their leader less as a protector and more like a stop-gap or as someone who is a lesser evil. it doesn't matter than the democratic leader is virtually the same as the republican leader, it only matters that they're more socially progressive than the republican leader; even if only by a hair.

this means that the regressive policies that both the democratic and republican leaders share invariably bites a person in the ass where it either reinforces a conservative's faith in a protector or it disillusions a liberal. the liberal then, either rebuilds their broken sense of hope and invests it again into a new democratic leader or checks out of the system to become either a doomer and/or a non-voter.
