This is the first group: The group of dumb people who are consciously voting against themselves for no rational reason I'm very familiar with them and don't need to live in USA to understand since there are plenty of them in Brazil, although not in the same volume as in USA I guess it something cultural, but still strange. I guess not everyone has a built-in mechanism to be sympathetic for the less affortunated which explain the rich voting for pro-market candidates, but I thought at least voting for their own benefit would be the norm |
Wrong. Self sustained pride is part of their culture. We shouldn't be bashing culture because it doesn't fit within our personal beliefs. They are not part of the "dumb" group, because they aren't dumb. Calling people dumb really isn't appropriate and doesn't add to the discussion. |
Aren't these people generally pretty devout Christians? Pretty sure pride is a sin, no? THE sin, even.
