Republicans are the party of filthy rich people. Everyone else is either a means to an end or an enemy.

Merely rich people are useful to the extent their donations can help their candidates, so they get decent payoffs in exchange. Remember the absurd payoffs are reserved for the filthy rich people.

The rank and file republican is too poor to be financially useful to the party, but the party needs enough of them to vote so they can seem like a majority or nearly so. They can’t get any real payoff, so foxnews is there to make them think they’re “winning”

As for business, republicans only care about them to the extent they make filthy rich people even richer. Competition gets in the way of that, so they actually are bad for small businesses, except for hedge funds and pass-throughs, which the filthy rich use.
