Republican Agenda of Hate and Suppression

Here’s a meme that, IMO, accurately depicts the GOP platform.

The beauty here, is that if you can keep ’em poor, sick and stupid, you can do whatever else you might like, e.g., repeal regulations that protect the environment. Stressed out people don’t have the emotional (or financial) bandwidth to protest.

Though this agenda would be repulsive beyond words in any other country in the developed world, almost half of Americans eat it up with a spoon.

Of course, actually winning elections with these policies requires making voting difficult for people who may have different thoughts, but that’s part of the agenda as well.  Putting people under duress and driving them into apathy has the side benefit of keeping them away from the polls.

It’s one, neat, coherent package of hate and suppression.
