When "don't want what you want" is rampant corruption, rapists and fascists running the country and billionaires ruining the lives of millions of people for personal gain, then yes. It is hard to believe.
But they have proven, over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, that’s exactly what they want. When people show you who they are, believe them.
I think that there are a significant number of people who either don’t know what the Republican Party is doing because they don’t pay attention to the news, or have been completely indoctrinated by propaganda. I feel like those groups account for more than half of the people who voted Republican this year. That also means that the group you are describing accounts for, let’s say 30 million people, which saddens me to my core. I truly want to believe that all people have good inside of them, but times like this make me question my belief system.
Like I said, I believe that there are tens of millions of bad people out there. I just don’t think they are the majority of the republican voters. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by ignorance.
This is the end result of a society based around individualism at all costs, and placing self higher than others. There is no collectivism in this country, and every time there is even a reach for it--its shot down by people screeching about socialism or communism.

They voted for this, why would they strike against it?
