Where would Republicans be without "God," guns, greed and hatred?

After all, those are the four things they use to get people to vote for them. Take those four out of the equation and then tell me what the Republican agenda is. Tell me what they stand for. Tell me what would happen to America, our Constitution, our freedoms, and our way of life if they ever gained full control of all the levers of power.

1. They would be a party without a constituency.

Not only is my passport up to date, I have an EU permanent residence and work permit.

2. Who would vote for them if they only offered tax cuts for the rich and corporate deregulation?

3. It seems that their major "product" right now is racism

They're scaring the hell out of their voters by telling them that "The Jews" are getting more black and brown people into the country to "replace" whites. (Remember that "Jews will not replace us" chant from the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville?) And as unbelievable as it seems, millions of morons are buying this crap and voting for Republican candidates, no matter how unqualified or crazy they are. I'm not sure that our democracy will survive the propaganda and the pure evil the Republicans are serving up.

4. It's unbelievable to me!

It all boils down to one thing: Republicans want to make rich people richer. THAT is the only thing they really believe in.

The superwealthy, like the Kochs and the Waltons, don't really give a shit about abortion or guns, because they know that their wives, daughters, sisters, and mistresses will always have access to abortion, and their gated communities will protect them so they don't really need guns.

Republicans have become masters at this. They whip their supporters into a frenzy, and then they sit back and watch the carnage. They pit all of us against each other so we don't see how they are lining their own pockets.
