This is exactly correct. And it's particularly pathetic that Democrats try to pander to these voters as they will always prefer right-wing Republicans. Biden could have undone a lot more of Trump's maximum pressure nonsense, but he's afraid of Florida and that pervert Bob Menendez (https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/nation-world/sd-me...).

Really? Why would they want to strangle their own families' food and medical resources?

Yes, really. The more prominent and politically active are zealots (even terrorists). And it's because they think that it will eventually topple the government. You know, "tough love." If you don't subscribe to their ideology you will be marginalized-- a major setback in a tight-knit community.
