Why is it republicans exist

Seems all they do is harm people. All they do is try to undermine anything that helps people like the gblt, unemployed
,renters,disabled,
women, black ,red and brown people, poor people, ect. They undemine our protections and rob us of our freedom, our sanity our well being.

Why do they act out thier innate cruelty and sadism on us?

While they worship the rich and corporations that exploit everything and everyone on this planet, for maximum power and profit and everyone and the world's expense..they ruin our lives.

Tell me again why these motherfuckers are allowed to do that shit to us? For decades.. when is enough ,enough?

1. Although I'm an atheist, I suggest that we refer this question to DUers who dabble in Theodicy...

Theodicy

Theodicy means vindication of God. It is to answer the question of why a good God permits the manifestation of evil, thus resolving the issue of the problem of evil. Some theodicies also address the evidential problem of evil by attempting "to make the existence of an all-knowing, all-powerful and all-good or omnibenevolent God consistent with the existence of evil or suffering in the world."

2. Simple. They're agents of the capitalist class.

They exist to preserve and protect capital from democracy. In essence, they've created policies that give capital more rights than human beings.

The racism, xenophobia, Christian fundie crap is nothing more than manipulative tools to create division and separation among the non-capital holding classes.

Attack capital tax the living fuck out of the wealthy and remove that corporate person hood,uncap payroll tax and explain to the masses how the exploitation the capitalists abuse us through happens. And make it so a republican never again is elected to anything in America. Go scorched Earth on those evil profiteering pigs. Ignore thier whining and hand wringing over the deficit..regulate thier corporate asses until the leash is so short and tight on them they barely can breathe anymore fucking traitors. Fuck up thier sanity, fucking remove the bullshit they have made into laws, tax the churches,destroy their well being and lives.
I for one would love to watch it happen.

About time the rich were made to personally pay and pay forever for this coup and tyranny of this sick ass minority of traitorous assholes.

Fuck the wealthy and thier feelings..and fuck the corporations.

I wish more people understood this. The Republican party exists to serve the interests of the Owner Class.

Everything else is distraction and gaslighting, to hide the real motives behind their actions: the protection of Capital.

14. Look at what they actually pass into law once they get power
Tue Oct 27, 2020, 11:42 PM

Both on federal and state levels. Tax cuts. Regulation rollbacks.

The SCOTUS picks were much more about rolling back regulations, weakening labor rights, and creating constitutional protections of capital.

15. Exactly! The thing is, the Proles have been well-trained to reject any talk of Class War - meanwhile

the Class War has been raging all around them, hidden behind culture war, racism, and other divisive issues, while the Owner Class collects the spoils.

It's actually a pretty astounding feat of legerdemain.

"protect capital from democracy"

That may have been the reasoning behind the earliest U.S. voting rights in 1789 only including ...property-owning or tax-paying white males (about 6% of the population). The Founding Fathers may have feared an "angry mob" of poor voters would take over the government and use it to "redistribute the wealth." The Storming of the Bastille happened that year and the FF fighting the Revolutionary War probably heard about it from allied French generals.

At the end of our year of duty, he happened to be drinking with us. Asked why he acted like he did, he confessed, somebody had to be the asshole. And if you look around. There's always at least one asshole. Maybe for the rest of us to not be assholes.

The “soon to be rich.”

These poor racist slobs think they’re gonna be millionaires in a week or two and want low taxes so when they make it big they’ll keep all the money.

And mainly they see rights and success as a zero sum game.

If you have equal rights it means they’re losing rights.

You have success it means they fail.

They don’t understand a rising tide lifts all boats.

They are dumb people easily manipulated based upon fear greed racism sexism nationalism and hate.

13. Maybe, it's because when Dems take power, they still talk of bipartisanship.
Tue Oct 27, 2020, 11:38 PM
Oct 2020

Dems, when it power, spend too much time and effort reaching across the aisle instead of trying to vanquish their opponents.

Republicans under Bush wouldn't even give John Conyers a meeting room to hold hearings. Made him do it in the basement.

16. Ten kids...ten apples on a tray...
Wed Oct 28, 2020, 01:21 AM
Oct 2020

Some of the kids were raised to believe that they deserve more than one apple. Our entire economy since the dollar was pegged to gold is based on the principle of banks creating commercial money out of thin air. By definition someone will always be left without a chair when the music ends. This is always the poor. Without proper supervision these 'children' will always raid the apple tray and lead us back into another bubble.
