This assumes people's stated reasons for supporting/hating things are their actual reasons. As I said in another thread: a lot of times people just grasp the closest semi-logical explanation for the decisions that makes them look decent, because in their mind of course they're a decent person.

Like some Europeans enthusiastically welcoming Ukranian refugees although they were hostile towards Middle Eastern refugees. So they rationalize by saying these are women and children, and the M.E. refugees were men who should've stayed and faced (fought) their government's bullets.

IMO the Republican's reasons for a lot of things is just to retain power. Things like voter disenfrachisement, or opposing anything the Dems wants, because if the Dems get things pushed through, and people like it, it will make them (GOP) look bad.

Will you start writing "The reason this side opposes this is because they want to sabotage it for the other side and make them look bad, who cares about the public who's getting screwed"? You won't be seeing this on Twitter...
