GOP represents the new nanny state. They want to tell us what we can and cant do. They only oppose government regulation if it protects the environment or peoples rights. They are fine with regulating the medical industry and the clean energy sector. Theyre fine with government telling schools and teachers what they can teach. Theyre fine with government denying people easy access to the ballot.

when it gets in the way of the plutocrats further enriching themselves at ordinary peoples expense.
Yet, somehow, its Democrats who are the party of elitism.
