The incomprehensivness of Republican conservatism (#2009)

The party of exclusion, Republicans, want all Americans to vote for their candidates. The chutzpah of that alone is worthy of a good head shake. In essence, Republicans want the vast majority of Americans to vote against their own interests. The very idea that a major political party here in America would want to snooker what voting electorate remaining that they haven't disenfranchised into giving them political power is shameful to begin with but even more than that it is arrogant that they think we won't notice their strategy. What is even worse than that is that they continue to double down on their agenda even when it is debunked by facts and truth. How can they continue to present their illusion and expect to win elections? First off they count on Americans giving them a pass on the fact that they have sold out the American working/middle/poor class because most Americans trust old paradigms and Republicans in the past have not been so unworthy. Yet today's Republican party is unworthy and yet too many Americans have been slow to learn this reality. Second, Republicans have effectively walled off truthful forms of information to large segments of their base so that their base is not given objective news but instead news that is not factual or truthful. Oh it is similar enough to the truth but success is given to themselves while all failure goes to the Democrats. Propaganda at it's most devious. In today's enlightened world however, the Internet offers all Americans the opportunity to learn information from more than the traditional news outlets so propaganda can only go so far. Third, and probably most effective for Republicans is to talk about how much they want to help the American people but in action do nothing of the sort. A two faced approach that has kept most of what honest media remains stymied and unprepared for debate in real time. This con game by Republicans will eventually collapse but will it serve them again in this coming election in November?
