If Republicans are against minorities, we should be against the majority... or at least the men. Give them credit for knowing *that* much about elections.
But it's worse than that... we criticize republicans for voting against their own self interests, then do the exact damn thing. "Raising the minimum wage? Swearing off war as a tool of foreign policy? Free college? Why should I support free stuff for those unworthy folks? My child is doing fine. She's in college to get a big income in a comfortable office because my 2%-er income can afford it, and she's a girl so why should I worry about a military draft?"
Maybe it's not the same thing. Maybe it's co-opting the democratic party for their own capitalist-class interests.
