I will take a stab at it: IMO Republicans have an agenda to return to the great old England standards, pretty much as follows: if your born into royalty (wealth) then your family will always be royalty (wealthy). They are willing to kill and exploit people and resources to maintain this standard, History is a great teacher, case and point, the pilgrims came here and survived a winter thanks to the Indians and thus thanksgiving was born, but what the history books don’t tell you is that there were aristocrats among them (Rich) who’s agenda was to exploit the people and resources sound familiar? The poor have always been manipulated against their own best interest just like poor republican are exploited today, seeing a pattern yet? So in the big picture the rich republicans are doing great (Governors, judges and CEO’s) a police force this is not held accountable because they protect the interest of the rich.
