Why is the focus always on blaming other people for problems instead of fixing the problems?
Trans people this. Gay people that. Brown people. Immigrants. It’s somebody else’s fault. We’re doing it right, but those other people are ruining everything.
If it smells everywhere you go, it’s time to look under your own shoe. No plans. No policy. The party of hurting Americans.
Because if they actually tried to fix shit, they’d have to recognize there are systemic issues that they benefit from. And then they wouldn’t be the GQP.
Conservatives are fundamentally incapable of governing, because they have no ability nor interest in improving society. So they just make up problems to get elected, then steal anything not nailed down once in office. Well, that’s the normal conservative aim, Trump also wants to make all of his legal problems go away.
Because their only real interest is funneling wealth upwards. Very few Republicans in power genuinely give a damn about any cultural war topics. No Fox News gasbag is choosing to live in Alabama lol. But the only way they can build a viable electoral base that supports stealing from the working class is by inventing and/or exacerbating working class divisions.
“Oh no, you’re not unemployed because your boss outsourced your job, it’s because, uh, that gay brown migrant took it!”
Because if they pointed at the problem they wouldn’t get elected. Any republican that points out any problem that isn’t “minorities bad” swiftly retires or is primaried on the right.
I just want to go get a cup of coffee with another dude without feeling like I’m gonna get shot or worse.

Because they have no solutions.
They prolong the problem and obstruct solutions because they benefit from hurting people and don’t want that to end.
So they became the problem.

It’s basically the aristocracy maintaining their old life style in a new disguise.
