(1,250 posts)The Republican Party is morally bankrupt.
They absorbed a pack of angry bigots from the Democrats after 1964 & use the energy of these angry bigots to lessen their responsibilities to their country.
Selfish Rich Guys who forgot about reciprocation. Selfish Rich Guys who forgot about the Social Contract.
They don't want to give anything & only want to take everything.
They have been trying to kill the New Deal legacy ever since it was put together but they don't make up that much of the population.
After all Elite ultimately means Few.
So they need the dumb bigots to go into a craze & that helps them get the numbers they need to influence the vote & ultimately influence the policies.
The bigots are helped by what was put together by Socialism & all the stuff of the New Deal legacy including the Great Society program called Medicare.
But since the bigots are so antagonistic against the Others whoever that may be they will work against things that help ALL people trying to 'get back' at THOSE people. Trying to get back at THEM. Them OTHERS.
This ultimately hurts the bigots themselves but hating on OTHERS makes them feel good even if they fall apart in the process.
But sometimes when they begin falling apart self-preservation kicks in & they end up in dilemmas like the folks from the thread opener's article.
Do I STILL play 'Get Back' or do I keep me & mine from falling apart?
When they pick 'keep me & mine from falling apart', the Republicans lose votes.
The voter may be conflicted because he/she STILL wants to play 'Get Back' but self-preservation takes precedent.
The Republican Party NEEDS to die. It's a Regressive, Backwards, Thoughtless, Heartless political entity.
Don't help him preserve it.
Let that crap die so this country can move onto a better direction.
The Republican Party deserves death for allowing the bigots to have a political platform.
It deserves death for allowing the greedy to wreck the country for their own selfishness.
The Crazy Party IS the Republican Party.
There is no distinction.
