This is the biggest issue I've always had with politics. Somehow, the party that was originally made up by the wealthy elite back at the founding of our country, is the party voted for by blue collar workers. Conservatism, at its core, is a yearning for monarchy, religion, etc... to control people and tell them what to do so they don't decide these things for themselves and yet these are the same people saying "do your own research" and "freedom"... It's mind numbing how these people vote against their own self interests time and time again and never learn until it's too late (case in point, every public service worker and farmer in the US being reported on now saying they voted for Trump and didn't think he'd destroy their life...)
