25. No they will

never change. They vote on one or 2 issues that don't put food on the table or actually affect anything in their lives that matters. They hate other groups of people or they are afraid that someone is going to completely take their guns which they have voted on since the 60's and it hasn't happened. They don't think about their social Security or health insurance ot the price of things they have to have that is always raised because of the inflation caused by the added to debt everytime republicans get control .They hate democrats , Gay people , people of a different color so they vote against the party that helps them just to get at things that don't affect them. I don't think losing those things that affect them will ever change them .Republicans have tried for years to do away with Social Security and insurance and food stamps but they just don't care .I watched a family raised that had 6 children and in the 60's they had 2 of the oldest that were affected by malnutrition and their dad worked the WPA and other job programs only. They got the medicare and medicaid programs and food stamps all brought on by Democrats when they became available in the 60's . They had plenty food and health care and did really good with all of that. The oldest girl mentally unable to support herself got the social security until shew passed a short time ago and her next younger brother after high school worked maybe 2 or three years and got Social security form the malnutrition form before and he is 70 now and still has all those benifits. The ones still alive talks about Democrats with hate to this day and I cannot understand how these kinds of people are so blind as to where their help comes from .This is part of why I say that most will never change their mind no matter what . One of the sisters married a guy who is now in a representative in Ky and pushes the Republican agenda in the state legislature .
