To a certain extent the GQP seems to have internalized these findings. For example, most will say they are against touching Social Security and Medicare, and tout new infrastructure developments in their district, even though they actively work for opposite results, yet they also genuinely deliver on the culture war schtick. So the Lo-Los can feel like they are being economically protected and know that blacks and gays are being bashed. However the Democrats can’t play the same game. That is, really work for preserving the economic safety net but pretend to bash minorities while not lifting a finger against minorities? Major demographics of Democratic electoral support would not tolerate it. And bashing, even if it’s just an act, still has a deleterious effects on society. It’s quite a pickle.
