Do you think the GOP Cares About You?

The evidence is quite clear that they as nearly all GOP initiatives seems to introduce more big government for the average Joe, fake tax cuts, but less taxes and oversight for the wealthy and businesses.

The amount the GOP cares about any given conservative is directly proportional to the number of zeroes in that conservative's bank accounts.
 
AFAICT, many conservatives think that if they could purchase all services through the market, instead of govt, they'd save money.

But that never works. If the medic needs to process your credit card payment before bandaging up the wound that has you bleeding out in the street, you know he's just going to jack up the prices because you don't have time to shop around to competing ambulance-delivery corporations.

Most lower to middle class conservatives are morons. There's a guy here in town who drives around in an old POS chevy cavalier that has the back end covered with anti-liberal, pro-conservative bumper stickers. Obviously not wealthy and probably thinks he's being kept down by liberal policies.

ETA: this should probably be moved to the general politics forum.
 
It's helpful to remember that half of the US population is of below-average intelligence, and heartening to know that Cheato didn't even get THAT many votes.

Abortion and gay marriage. That's the stick that they use to lure in the lower class evangelical voters.
 
They use the ideology of trickle down and pee on

I suspect they would. The problem is that not all services are practical to purchase through the market.

Which is what I find so ironic about the rise of Trump in the so-called "party of personal responsibility." A party whose patron saint once said "government isn't the solution to your problems, government IS the problem" has chosen as their leader a man who said "don't worry, when I'm in charge of the government I'm going to fix everything for you."

No need to go back to school or train for a new career...nope. The government is going to bring back your coal mining job. The government is going to kick out all the illegal immigrants so you can finally get back to picking crops and cleaning hotel rooms. You don't have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps...just wait around until Trump brings back the jobs that "they" took from you.

What you may be missing, and I could be wrong, is that it doesn't seem to matter that the GOP doesn't really give a damn about the American people. This is about the politics of ignorance and spite. So what matters the most is that libtards have a stick thrust into their eye. So Trump runs the country into the toilet: so what? As long as liberals hate it, and as long as the potential exists to silence them, that's really what matters. It's about the desire to oppress others, to have their ignorance vindicated by a strongman who's as course and nescient as themselves. This pertains to the unassailable Trump supporters.

And those people are supported by conservatives who, if Stalin were running for POTUS on the GOP ticket, would vote for him over any Democrat. So throw that powerful kind of lockstep in and we get what we got.

Oh, and third party voters who refuse to acknowledge their culpability in this. Naderites still won't admit just how badly they fucked up by voting for him in 2000. Today's Green voters, and a significant segment of libertarians are just as unapologetic.

I thought all the parties produced fake tax cuts but did it a different way.

This.

Even if we're no better off after Trump, he hates the same people we hate, so if he sticks it to them, it's just LIKE we're better off...

That's not thinking, that's just a knee-jerk thoughtless false equivalency.

True. But coming from a furriner carrying a profound pro-Russian religious brainwashing bias, what do you expect?
 
These people do not see themselves as part of any kind of society.

Other humans are just things to fuck over legally if you can.

If grandmothers are panhandling and dying on the streets that does not bother them.

As long as the dumb human dies off the street they have to drive through.

So they do not ask the government for anything more than to lower their taxes.

That wasn't thinking, it was observing :) Vlad isn't my pin up boy just yet.
