It's not really assumptions when your party votes against all that stuff. I mean your right it's bullshit people assume that. But the Republican Party is fairly easy to pin point who they are. It's either what you described racist, bigoted, low class, trailer park hicks or upper middle class / rich people who vote republican because they actually understand their actions and know it benefits you more. I know it's just assumptions by calling them racist. Not all are racist. But I can for certain claim that anyone who votes republican that makes under 70,000 is an idiot. I live in a red state and I can truly tell you it is awesome to see the Republican Party finally realize the party they vote for fucks them over. My state voted a tea party governor into office on the very bases that he ran an ad claiming his opponent supports Obama. Well all these bigoted hick voters voted the man into office and now he is taking away health care for literally most the voters that voted him in. Voters for republicans were so stupid that they didn't know our health care was Obamacare. Because we changed the name to get Obamacare in our state because this name alone would be met with hostility. So they voted for a guy claiming he was going to get rid of Obamacare and now all his voters are literally going to die because they voted for a man who is taking away their health care. All because they are to stupid to understand politics and only listen to bullshit smear ads that only talk about shit like "he voted for Obama." I first hand have witnessed how stupid the Republican Party is and I love the reaction from them. I hope it changed their views of the party they thought cared about them. But nope. The bullshit Fox News preaches had drawn them back in.
