Inveterate liars and hypocrites with ability to fool their ignorant base. Remember - Don the Con loves the poorly educated. Along with that unity, however, are tension, division and contradiction over the direction of the party that Trump has remade over the past eight years. Are Republicans the party of big corporations? Of small businesses? Of union and working-class voters? In some ways, the answer to all three is yes, and because of that, despite all of Trump’s influence, Republicans are still a party in transition, their identity not entirely fixed. Republicans continue to struggle to reconcile appeals for votes and voter groups that have not traditionally supported them with the policies that Trump and other GOP elected officials espouse — big tax cuts for wealthy Americans being one example. Are they for the little guy or the billionaire class, for policies to promote unions or to curtail union power, for workers or chief executives? In 2020, among White men without college degrees, Trump won 72 percent of the vote, according to exit polls. Among White women without college degrees, he won 63 percent. He won 64 percent of White men without college degrees in Michigan, 72 percent in Pennsylvania and 65 percent in Wisconsin. Among White women without degrees, his percentages in those three states were 56, 61 and 52, respectively. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/16/republicans-try-square-pro-worker-rhetoric-with-anti-union-policies/

Texas! Yee Haw! All MAGA GOP states. The top nine are all MAGA GOP states. The tenth is Arizona. The states with the poorest quality of life in 2024 are Texas, Indiana and Alabama, according to the report. Texas is the state with the worst quality of life, according to data from CNBC’s America’s Top States for Business report. As part of the study, CNBC considers states’ quality of life as one of their 10 categories of competitiveness used to rank states. CNBC uses multiple factors like crime rates, health care, air quality and child care when determining quality of life of each state. Texas came in as the state with the worst quality of life, in part, due to its poor healthcare. The Lone Star State has one of the lowest primary care provider-to-patient ratios in the country, with 182 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, according to the United Health Foundation. Texas has few legal protections against discrimination and worker protection policies, contributing to its low quality of life ranking. thehill.com/changing-america/respect/equality/4773324-10-states-poor-quality-life-report/

People are getting crippled by health care costs, but at least their libraries don’t have a book about same sex penguins.

They not just a bunch of racists. They're also misogynists. And, the lead guy is a convicted felon, a rapist, an adulterer, a liar, a fraudster, etc. So, no, they not JUST racists.
