18. GOP stands for Greed Or Prejudice.
Sat Aug 22, 2020, 03:40 PM
Aug 2020

Usually they are different people.
The greedy wealthy that only wants low taxes and no regulations on corporations that they own or have stock in. They don’t like Trump. He embarrasses them. But their greed “trumps” the embarrassment.

The prejudice people are usually the righteously religious.
They live in a white Christian bubble that fears the other. They are led by their preachers saying that Democrats are baby killers and that black and brown people want to rape their white women.

These two wings of the GOP make up about 40% of our populace.
