In this chapter, we\u2019ll explore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How conservative states like Louisiana have some of the lowest national rankings on crucial quality-of-life measures like health, education, income, and air and water quality<\/li><li>How these outcomes are often a direct consequence of these voters\u2019 disdain for government regulation and support for politicians who are committed to gutting public services<\/li><li>How the emotional force that truly animates popular support for conservatism is a desire on the part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/white-conservatives\/\">white conservatives<\/a> to uphold their honor, dignity, and perceived rightful place in the social hierarchy\u2014especially in the face of a liberal Democratic Party that conservative Louisiananans feel is hostile to their way of life<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Conservative Paradox<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If we\u2019re going to overcome the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/empathy-wall\/\">empathy wall<\/a> between liberals and conservatives and understand voting against self interest, we need to first explore what appears to be an inexplicable phenomenon of American politics: that <strong>the most conservative, heavily Republican states in the country are enduring immense suffering\u2014often as a result of the pro-business, anti-tax policies favored by the politicians who represent them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the central paradox of American politics. Why do economically disadvantaged whites\u2014especially those living in states with poor health, education, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/socioeconomic-mobility-in-america\/\">social mobility<\/a> rankings\u2014enthusiastically support a Republican Party that opposes economic policies (including paid family leave, environmental regulation, and universal healthcare) from which they would clearly benefit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Particularly in the Deep South, arguably the ideological nerve center of American conservatism and far-right Tea Party activism, states and counties lag behind the rest of the country across nearly every measurement of human development. This seeming disregard for their own economic self-interest on the part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/conservative-values\/\">conservative Republican<\/a> voters seems maddening and incomprehensible to many on the left, partly due to their voting against self interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Public Disinvestment<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The state of Louisiana, where we\u2019ll focus our analysis, ranks near the very bottom of all 50 states across most quality-of-life measurements<\/strong>, including life expectancy, health outcomes, median income, educational attainment, and pollution. Here, Republican politicians offer minimal public investments in services like healthcare, social insurance, and education, while keeping taxes on businesses and wealthy individuals low. This is a key part of voting against self interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, their anti-regulatory agenda allows the powerful oil and petrochemical industries to pollute the state\u2019s air and drinking water, leading to some of the nation\u2019s highest cancer rates for residents. It would seem that if any state would stand to benefit from a more activist government committed to investments in public goods and one less friendly to business interests, it would be Louisiana. The paradox runs even deeper when you consider the fact that, for all of the state\u2019s anti-federal rhetoric, it is in fact highly <em>dependent <\/em>on federal largesse\u2014with a full 44 percent of the state budget coming from Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this is clearly not how Louisianans see it, particularly those living around Lake Charles in the southwest corner of the state\u2014the epicenter of the state\u2019s sprawling extraction industry. <strong>Since 1972, Louisiana has voted Republican in nine out of 12 presidential elections, and it gave President Donald Trump one of his largest margins in 2016.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Voting against self interest seems counter intuitive, yet people continue to do it every election. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does voting against self interest mean?
