    Exhibit 5: Opinion of "Obamacare" vs. "Kynect" (Kentucky's implementation of Obamacare). Kentuckians feel differently about the policy depending on the name. https://www.vox.com/2014/5/12/5709866/kentuckians-only-hate-obamacare-if-you-call-it-obamacare

    Exhibit 6: Christians (particularly evangelicals) became monumentally more tolerant of private immoral conduct among politicians once Trump became the GOP nominee. https://www.prri.org/research/prri-...ics-election-clinton-double-digit-lead-trump/

    Exhibit 7: White Evangelicals cared less about how religious a candidate was once Trump became the GOP nominee. https://www.prri.org/research/prri-...ics-election-clinton-double-digit-lead-trump/

    Exhibit 8: Republicans were far more likely to embrace a certain policy if they knew Trump was for it—whether the policy was liberal or conservative. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/14/opinion/trump-republicans.html

    Exhibit 9: Republicans became far more opposed to gun control when Obama took office. Democrats have remained consistent. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...-most-see-benefits-for-workforce-preparation/

    Exhibit 10: Republicans started to think college education is a bad thing once Trump entered the primary. Democrats remain consistent. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...-most-see-benefits-for-workforce-preparation/

    Exhibit 11: https://i.imgur.com/B2yx5TB.pnghttp://www.jsonline.com/story/news/...n-flips-both-parties-views-economy/100502848/

    Exhibit 12: Republicans became deeply negative about trade agreements when Trump became the GOP frontrunner. Democrats remain consistent. http://www.people-press.org/2016/08/18/5-issues-and-the-2016-campaign/

    Exhibit 13: 10% fewer Republicans believed the wealthy weren't paying enough in taxes once a billionaire became their president. Democrats remain fairly consistent. http://www.people-press.org/2017/04...hat-corporations-wealthy-dont-pay-fair-share/

    Exhibit 14: Republicans suddenly feel very comfortable making major purchases now that Trump is president. Democrats don't feel more or less comfortable than before. http://news.gallup.com/poll/206792/republicans-upgrade-views-own-financial-situation.aspx

    "Trump fans are much angrier about housing assistance when they see an image of a black man"
    In contrast, Clinton supporters seemed relatively unmoved by racial cues.

    Here's the vote for Hurricane Sandy aid. 179 of the 180 no votes were Republicans.

    I count at least 20 Texas Republicans.

    The Republican platform is stick it to the liberals. While the democrat platform is actual policies.

    that’s why a Republican Whitehouse, house, and senate can’t pass any laws.
