Look, if you don't get what's happening, I can explain it very simply:

The Republican Party exists to tax you and give your tax money to billionaires.

That's it. All the rest, all the bigotry and religion and child kidnapping and foreign wars, exists to distract you so that they can continue to steal.

I could write a million words worth of analysis and not get significantly closer to the truth.

@fatsam Hard to find fault in that analysis.
@fatsam
Every time they say "the economy", replace it with "rich peoples' yachts". Works like a charm.
@fatsam Spot on. It is the nature of most conservative parties around the planet.
@fatsam
Continuing in the tradition of the UK Conservative party since long ago when nations were forced to codify a legal framework for class robbery, rather than just sending men with swords to your house.
@fatsam Yes, and it’s much more than taxing. Privatizing public resources — natural, social, economic — and pulling that loot out of society is also a trick they like.
@fatsam and since the carter administration the dems have had the same goal, they just do it by tricking normies and hippies
@crumbleneedy nod. Because California and Alabama are the same.
