Many Republicans have cable, and probably even complained in the past about being ripped off with something related to their cable (no one I know loves to complain about losing money more than the Republicans I know).
And yet they vote for people that actively try to prevent that pain from going away.
It’s like they are all masochists voting in as extreme sadists as possible so their representatives will hurt them more.
“Ohhh Daddy, tie up the FCC and spank me with more monopolistic cable fees.”
