You mean based on the hope that anyone can achieve the American dream, and pursuant of that condition, rather than deciding some people can't possibly achieve it so we should feed them and then shove them away in a corner.The ideology of the Republican party is based on the lie that everyone in America has the same opportunity to achieve the American dream.
That isn't true, but some people do deserve to fail. Some people earn their failures fair and square. Not every inequality is a systematic oppression.and that everyone who doesn't deserved to fail.
The Venn Diagram of stricter election controls and predominantly black areas is specifically Georgia. Red states like these things regardless of demographics. When you see counties shut down polling places due to shrinking populations, it's nearly always in rural white areas. You're going to have a tough time arguing that Republican's target minorities specifically with any real data. The claim is entirely baseless nonsense.The Republicans are perfectly happy making sure that the US electoral system is inadequate, and particularly inadequate in predominantly black areas.
Unions are, at their best, a necessary evil. When they aren't necessary, they are only evil. If someone can get a desirable contract with their employer without a union, that's a good thing, not union busting. Nobody is making laws banning unions, but the unions want laws mandating their presence because they know in many cases they've ceased to good or necessary. My personal union experience was working for UPS. The teamsters did nothing but take money from my paycheck. UPS did anything good for us themselves, and still could hardly keep the place full because the job sucks by its nature. The only involvement the union ever had was demanding they rehire people who didn't show up half the time, which only hurt the rest of us who were there, only to have these people continue to skip work until they got fired a second time. And it wasn't personal issues, a lot of people called in and got off when they had problems, a lot of workers had set up to not work certain days of the week, the company accommodated that. I'm talking people who just ditched and didn't tell anyone. That's the impact of the teamsters. Negative.It has no respect for worker's rights, and will always be the first in line to bust unions.
Nonsense sentence about people who spend every waking moment pushing for small business.Long gone are the days when the Republicans were the trust busting, anti monopoly party; they love them now, and will do anything for their sugar daddies.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes that energy companies are ultimately the solution to climate change. And also, it's nice having electricity in my life.It's got fossil fuel lobby money coming out of every orifice as we waltz ever closer to the point where we can't make the climate how it was ever again.
I suppose there's no recidivism without arrests, but that's a stupid rhetorical point. Nobody cares about prison labor, it's all optional. You can't be an optional slave, that's not how words work.It loves to be tough on crime, which equates to making sure that rates of recidivism are high enough to make sure there's always people the privatised prisons can use as slave labour.
Wanna bet? Many could literally be described as child care facilities. Nobody is in a detention center that hasn't been given the option to leave. Everyone there has decided for themselves to pursue a court appearance requesting sanctuary in the US, and the facilities exist to give them food and shelter while they wait. Customs and Border Patrol regularly search mountains and deserts, rescuing people who would otherwise die of exposure in the wilderness. The functions are humanitarian in nature. They're also not partisan until people want to lie to yell about Trump.It strongly supports putting illegal immigrants into what can only be described as concentration camps.
The US has the biggest safety net in the world. Including charities, Republicans contribute more to it than anyone.It values "freedom", in the sense that if you're not rich you're free to die.
Citation needed. Some people get upset that it is ever not the police's fault. I don't know anyone who says it's never the police's fault. It shouldn't be a blanket statement.Every time the police arbitrarily murder someone, they will find a way to blame the victim.
They don't see the world that way at all. Republicans see the world as comprised of individuals, each with our own unique life. We also see the government as comprised of individuals, each acting on their own. We don't see government as a magical vehicle of democracy that does whatever the majority wants, because that isn't what it is. It's individuals making decisions themselves. The only route to democracy is allowing individuals control of their own lives. All decisions should be managed at the lowest possible level of organization. If you can handle your own economic well-being, you should handle it yourself, and the government should keep out. If the federal government is in charge of my economic well-being, I have no representation in the things that determine my own life. Not 0.0000003% representation. Literally zero. Because the president may be an elected representative, but their decisions are just that, theirs. That is reality.They see the world as a pyramid and will kick down anyone they think is getting too high. That's what the Republicans represent.
Conservatives are small government because we recognize that pyramid as what big-government people want to build, and we seek to limit it as much as possible. Don't project your own faults onto me.
