Yes, I know it's true. The Republican party is steeped in racism. Not on any one level, but from top to bottom through the party.
Having noted your mild sarcasm, I will attempt to remain calm.
I would Like to point out, as carefully as possible, that the Republican Party draws its major support, and crafts its platfrom for, the wealthiest of Americans. Money and wealth are not racist. Neither is Poverty. Racism is STUPID, BECAUSE IT DIVIDES THE POOR, AND THEREBY STRENGTHENS THE RICH. Try to imagine Hillary Clinton, or Laura Bush scrubbing dungarees on a rock in a river. Try to picture George Bush mopping the floor in a Public Washroom.
Try to picture the Washroom a week after the last time it was mopped.
Think of what your life would be like if NO ONE collected the garbage and hauled it off to a distant dump.
Republicans seem to think that all you need to keep the washroom clean is a hungry person, a mop and a sandwich. GIVE THE HUNGRY PERSON THE MOP, AND PROMISE THE SANDWICH WHEN THE WASHROOM IS CLEAN. Eat at least half the sandwich while the floor is being mopped by the hungryperson, and then divide the remaining half between the owner of the mop and the hungry person. Repeat this process each time the washroom needs cleaning. YOU ARE ASSURED AN UNENDING SUPPLY OF HUNGRY PEOPLE, AND AS LONG AS THE MOP HOLDS OUT THE FLOOR WILL BE CLEANED BY SOMEONE ELSE.
The Republican gets three quarters of the sandwich, and a clean washroom for thinking this plan up. The Hungry person gets to eat a quarter of the sandwich each time the washroom gets dirty. The Republican CLAIMS the hungry person is cheating by using the washroom and getting it dirty.
