What Republicans believe

The central organizing principles of the modern Republican Party seem to come down to three things:

1) Rip affordable health care away from 17 million people by repealing Obamacare. Then, replace it with something more profitable for insurance companies that insures fewer people.

2) Burn as much coal as possible. Because increased rates of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary heart failure and cancer are a small price to pay if the coal industry can make more money. Oh, and because climate change is a big conspiracy created by communist scientists - or something.

3) Foreigners are bad. We need to keep them out of the country -- especially the scary, scary Muslims and brown people with funny accents.

Bathrooms are gender inviolate

Unions are evil

Women are incapable of making decisions regarding sex/birth issues

Religion and government are inseparable

War solves all foreign problems.

Big business , big banks cannot fail

There are many, many more - basically, if it involves harming or taking rights away from others, it's Republican.
