The irreconcilable right (#1816)

The right has taken the political tact to protect the nefarious nature of our populace and many who would rather live beneath anywhere the sun shines are their constituents. Protecting the illegality and inequality of our economic and social functions. The deep held belief that regardless of sacrifice by others they resent themselves having to sacrifice anything at all in the name of community and common good. The selfish aspect of their ideology cannot be overestimated. It is the linchpin by which all their arguments evolve. Regardless of false equivalencies or cognitive dissonance, they will not be budged by logic that reflects the better of who we are if it intercedes into their "God" given right to put themselves above all else. The greedy ego as a bastion for them to warp into being the victim. The worse and saddest part is that they are not able to gain a grander perspective in order to see that their actions are what foster the continuation of their's and our problems. Instead of seeing that all our problems can be solved by all of us coming together, they see the only possibility of all our problems being solved is through the elimination of most of us who are not them. The simple difference here is one of optimism about how we all want to share in this existence for the better, and the opposite, which is that despair and hatred are allowed to dictate process for their's and, by default, our futures. A political philosophy that bends it's process toward the worse natures of our humanity is what the right wing of the Republican party has become and all the rest of us must stand and fight against it.
