certain people, certain Americans, to preserve their way of life.

White, male, straight and Christian as dominate way of life - and the richer the better.

The rest of us have always been expendable to them. Always. We are viewed as an obstacle or a threat. Either way, we must be put back in our place, as they see what our place should be...serving them in silence, existing out of sight, and never ever having or expecting power.

Republicans/conservatives in power even see their working poor, white voters as expendable. Only they have convinced those morons otherwise.

We're not the reason you aren't making ends meet, they tell them. It's the Liberals/Democratic party, and the black people and the brown people, and The Gays destroying our way of life.

Appeals to prejudice work and the GOP knows it all too well. They, quite literally, bank on it.

And they've been able to hide their dark hearts behind Christianity and jingoism. We just need a group of leaders who will call them out on their ruse.
