Republicans are values voters.

They value their own personal and financial well being above the country as a whole.

They value their white privilege above equality for all.

They value a justice system that protects that white privilege.

They value money above all else.

They value protecting their privilege so much that they deliberately suppress the vote of certain categories of voters. Mainly non-white, but also progressives of all ages.

They value their privilege so much that they are willing to shut down the Government no matter how much harm it does.

And they support a criminal like Donald Trump.

And Trump openly does it, as opposed to the coded language of the Reagan types.
