Thomas Frank’s Snowmobile Paradox explains why people who otherwise hate each other will vote the same way. If you live in the city and love to snowmobile, you vote Republican because you hate the regulations that liberals want to impose. If you live in the snowmobile country, you vote Republican because you hate those rich city tourists (with their liberal bumper stickers and loose sexual morals) who come to snowmobile.
On both sides, hatred is the motivation.
