Not every issue. But I also believe that most people only have one or two 'major' issues that stick out to them. The rest gets absorbed in rhetoric.

For example, on voting rights, lots genuinely want 'fair' elections. Well, so do Democrats. Now obviously, bad people are trying to steal that and manipulate it for their own gain. But lots of the voters would go along with being told there's an 'election security' package that just included a lot of the things Democrats want.

On lgbtq rights, in general the more libertarian set of the GOP follows a similar tact to liberals on religion: they don't care what you do personally as long as it doesn't effect them. And they're not hugely happy with the idea of having religion imposed upon them. The same people who hate dry laws hate religious mandates.

Utah and WA both have universal mail-in and no corruption, so why do The GOP and the right wing oppose it on a national level?

If they believe that way on social issues, how do they stay in a party advocating for a white Christian ethnostate?
