It seems to me that aside from the hardcore anti-government nut cases, today's GOP is an unholy collaboration between the wealthy, who care about nothing but themselves and their money on the one hand, and the workers they exploit on the other. To obtain the loyalty and support of the workers, the wealthy, most of whom could not care less about social issues, offer them a platform and bullhorn to promote such cherished fundamental beliefs as racism, homophobia, religious bigotry, gun worship, hatred of immigrants, abortion-as-mur der, etc. Apparently stupefied by their obsession to impose this fetid agenda on the rest of the country and encode it into law, these wrong-headed marginal-middle -class workers obediently vote for candidates and support policies that skew economic tax laws and other benefits to the 1% and undermine the very unions that could be helping them. Instead, what "trickles down" to what is left of the middle class from the "job creators" are stagnant wages, full-time jobs that deliver nothing but subsistence, part-time jobs that deliver noting but poverty, and a congress that is determined to destroy the only opportunity to buy affordable health insurance that many people will ever have.

But the GOP rank and file yearn for the day that once again, they can legally refuse to hire, or sell their property, or serve anyone who is not just like them, and the wealthy are only too happy to keep that dream alive.

Their dream; our nightmare

This says it all...there are NO other explanations or excuses.
