It seems to me that what the republicans and their wealthy donors don't get is that by making our overwhelming majority working middle poor class more poverty prone is that it is making our children suffer because they have less tools to become enlightened. The republican party would rather their donors get much more wealthy than our society become much more intelligent. That is the trade off republicans are eager to accept and defend. So while we vast majority working middle poor class folks continue to wallow in the dregs of the wealthy's overflow our children are paying the price. The future belongs to our children but when our children take over they will be less informed and by far less able to navigate the complexities of life.
What has tormented me all these decades of republicans in control is that they don't care about all of America. They do care about what is theirs but not what is ours. That kind of thinking, survival of the fittest, presupposes that we all started from the same foundation. Well we know that wealthy ones start from a greater advantage and privilege starting point than all of us in the working middle poor class. So they may think they are better through what they describe as merit, they are not and are only ahead because their money and influence puts them there. It is a travesty that now we the working middle poor class generally know this that the voter suppression tactics are becoming vogue in republican circles.
How they square their survival of the fittest with cheating is beyond me yet it is what they are doing. The cognitive dissonance explanation follows but why is still a question. We are all human beings who have cognition and central nervous systems which allow our brains to understand thought and pain, yet republicans cannot equate that equality to us with them. I have tired over decades to reason, analyze and conclude with them but we can never seem to agree on the facts and truths of things despite the logical clarity of them. So instead of wasting more time I rail against them with diagnosis and opinion as best I can because for me it is a no brainer to care about all the species in existence without having to fool myself into not doing so yet acting like I do.

I enjoyed hearing someone else say "over the past decades." This is nothing new with the Republicans-it is their core philosophy, usually couched behind religion, or some kind of authoritarian trait that keeps them in the controlling position, and us quiet. Trump is a just a nasty symptom of their nasty philosophy gone rogue, without the pretenses.
