14. They don't view brown, Black, yellow, red, female, LGBTQ, non-Christians as people as equals.

The GOP are the descendants of the slaveholders. They sit in their churches and listen to uneducated preachers insist that Jesus was as racist as they are.

The "Originalists" would be happy to return to counting non white male property owners as three fifths of a person. The GOP is about *ruling* over the rest of us, not about governing.

Like religious zealots everywhere, If they can just keep the women in line, everything will be great. They want women at home with babies, yet worker wages are flat since the 70s, which is why women entered the workforce in droves. Families needed that second income. Now that women, and Black women in particular, are in positions of power, they're terrified of the golden rule. Guess they shouldn't have treated the Others like crap all these centuries.

The Unborn are easy to support because they cost zero dollars. They don't need day care, or family leave, or education, or medical care, because the unborn do.not.exist.
