5. GOP is both a cult and a collection of power addicts

The obscenely rich include power addicts who are not really concerned about democracy, except in how it interferes with their accumulation of wealth and power. The cult is a means of keeping that power. Elected GOP is caught between, but the gang now in office is the result of culling by the billionaires' club and the cult.

The GOP hasn't been sending us their best in a couple of generations.
