That laugh is so completely genuine because Cleaveton Little’s copy of the script didn’t contains the words “You know, morons”… plus Gene Wilder’s timing is just superb there - it still makes me grin despite not only know it’s coming, but reading it instead of hearing it
I have voted Republican exactly once in any election since 2000. I technically could have voted in 1998, but Kentucky wouldn’t let me vote as a student, and I wasn’t paying attention to my home state.
I voted for the Republican candidate for San Diego City Jail Warden in 2022. I did so because of two reasons. The first was that the previous guy (a Democrat) got fired due to having the largest death toll of any jail or prison in the US, and the Democrats decided to run his Deputy Warden as their candidate. The second reason was that I got my ballot in the mail, so I had a month to look at their history, and the Republican candidate’s worst scandal was that he attempted to cheat on his taxes and got caught. Given the choice of someone with literal blood on their hands vs a tax dodger, I’ll take the tax dodger.
I said all that to say this: I vote blue no matter who, unless the blue candidate has shown they will actively cause more harm than their opponent.
I’d add that quite a few of them have also been intentionally misled. They’ve been fed a diet of shit information over the past few decades, and it has an effect.
Why do non-white, non-male, non-cis, non-het people vote Republican? Are they stupid?
Yes, they are
The “R” doesn’t just stand for Republican.

Please add non-rich to that list.
Also add the people in the Top 5% that are not in the top 0.1%.
Many of them think that they are the rich people who are getting the breaks.
They are not.
money
Some do solely because of Christianity and/or moral panics about communism.
Why do white, male, straight people vote Republican? Are they stupid?

Also yes
