Everything republicans do has an effect to denigrate or eliminate fairness in society. They are not for the melting pot paradigm our nation has historically welcomed even in the case of most all republicans. Given that, the conclusion to draw is that they have become selfish in their outlook on life here in America. As long as they have and are still getting "theirs" nothing else matters. It is a rotten soul that takes advantage of opportunities and then helps to eliminate opportunities for others. There is no excusing such behavior and no ethical defense in defending it. Yet it is what republicans do and although the evidence of their selfishness is apparent their cognitive dissonance will not allow them to face it.
How embarrassing it is for the rest of us who are all about fairness, equality, and meritocracy. We have to deal with their lying, cheating, and conniving ways instead of maturing our society toward a greater good. I am at a loss for how to deal with these broken souls who think they are demigods so others will have to diagnose their cures for them. I just know that they are wrong and selfish by their actions to enrich themselves at the expense of others who are not able to fight for themselves. I have always seen our nation as superheroes who rush to defend those who need our help. Yet the evidence of my thinking that is minimal. I practice those values myself but my little accomplishments in those areas are infinitesimal compared to what we all could do together.
When care for all of us outweighs us only caring for our own personal selves will we be able to stop the madness of destroying our democracy. There are too many forces trying to disintegrate that which keeps our moral, ethical, and political compass pointing toward modernity. The good within all of us is real and not just something some of us have as some special, enlightened gift. We are all in this together and no amount of delusion or denial will remedy the fact that all our lives are intertwined and interdependent. Once we get past the paradigm of selfishness and hatred is when our world will begin to resemble that vision I have of all of us being superheroes.
