"The single objective of so-called conservatives is the exploitation of everyone else for the sake of their own lifestyle. Everything else is just marketing and misdirection.
They can dress up their credit-card-Keynesianism as "supply-side economics," but for the most part they know better. They can pretend their crass Malthusianism and jingoism are somehow Christian, but their blasphemy stands in stark contrast to this pacifist and anti-materialist religion's sacred texts and long history.
It's all bullsh**t, and the smarter ones know it.
But what to make of their followers? Why in the hell would someone suck up to someone who's just ing them over? Stockholm syndrome? Battered-spouse syndrome? The self-delusion of the pre-rich? Frustrated Christian-reconstructionists who're happy with any semblance of Talibanesque power?
The old formula to describe the Republican party is "fools and millionaires." The millionaires gave up on America after FDR, whom they see as a communist. He made them actually pull their weight in the country that made them rich, and they've never forgiven him for it. If America isn't their company-town, their own grapes of wrath labor scenario, their cash-cow, then they're going to take their ball and go home.
As for the fools, they are the more numerous, the thing that amplifies the millionaries' tiny demographic footprint. They are the useful idiots who make their own servitude, and ours, possible. Without them, the millionaires would be bigfooted back into responsibility. Their weakness betrays us all. I'm not saying they're a fifth-column, they're too stupid for that. They're nothing but a weak link."
