I know the most obvious response is that they’re doing this because they want to commit voter fraud, but I read a really inciteful insightful comment the other day about how republicans think, that I feel applies here.
They cannot handle being told what to do. Even if it’s for obvious public good. Even if it is for THEIR benefit. If they feel they’ve been ‘told’ to do it, they will not do it. It’s quite pathetic and infantile.
Perhaps it’s best to clarify that Republicans don’t like being told what to do by anyone other than Republicans. And even then, it’s their select “idols.” That they’re okay with. Because they’ll turn on a republican that tells them to do something in their best interest if it goes against their “beliefs.”

You will never meet more childish adults than conservatives. So that statement checks out.
Insightful* but yeah
Inciteful means it makes you angry
You’re right, d’oh. Thanks for the correction
Fox News tells them what to think all the time - “oh that’s just Republicans being reactionaries” is not very credible.

It’s ideology over facts, always.
