(4,341 posts)Start reading old literature, I can recommend a couple of books by the same author, Sinclair Lewis..."Babbit", "It Can't Happen Here!", "Main Street".
The old gran Republican party has always been lead by racists, misogynists, bigots, and a dislike for people who are economically "inferior" to them, like senator Hatch, they do forget where they came from, even though Hatch likes to say that he understands people who are not so fortunate, its all bull, the republican party has always encouraged hate and a bunch of vile human sentiments.
You are wondering "what is wrong with the republican party" and I tell you "NOTHING", and yes I do feel it may be worst, but its only worst because they have cheated and put a man-child in a post he doesn't deserve, cannot handle, who is there to protect his life from the kompromat the Russians have on him. The man-child is vile, evil, has no clue of where he is, no sense for consequence, says and does what he wants, so your republican party has been enabled and they have come out of the closet, they have always been the trash they are today. Your republican party "leaders" may be compromised as well.
Think about it, Paul Ryan has been dreaming, since high school, to abolish all social services that help poor people, he has always hated the fact that poor people can be aided by the government, even though that is what government is there for, he is an evil man who idolizes Ayn Rand, and if you read her books you realize how screwed up and how full of hate that woman was.
Stop fooling yourself that the republican party was good at any time in its history, look at the timelines of presidents and you will realize that any time republicans takes hold of power, all they want to do is screw the people and enrich themselves.
So, again, what is wrong with your party? NOTHING!...what is wrong is that people who follow republicans are constantly drinking their kool-aid, believing the fantasy they spew. By now you should know that what the say is not what they do.
READ, READ, READ...go back in time, realize the party you have always supported has never supported you, its just rhetoric, talk, talk, talk.
I hope this helps.
