Unfortunately, it's probably not so much an inconvenient truth as it is an ignored or acceptable feature of not having a safety net. Denial and casual disregard for humanity may both turn out to more powerful and destructive than any conspiracy.

The Republicans CONSTANTLY PROJECT their OWN unethical, immoral, criminal, self-serving behavior onto Democrats.

C O N S T A N T L Y

It would be a GOLDMINE for a Democrat or the Democratic party and the media to find a systemic way of calling the CONs out on this EVERY TIME they do it. With clear-cut examples.

They'd better learn.

Or accept the deadly consequences of the classic abuser's modus operandi: projecting his own selfish, abusive, immoral behavior onto the victim and convincing the victim and everyone else it's all the other person's fault.

CONSERVATISM and CAPITALISM is all about grabbing and retaining POWER for the ruling class: the wealthiest - whilst leaving nothing for the masses.

Socialism - isn't.
