@UltraEgoMc Republicans take money from gun manufacturers and sustain the military-industrial complex with perpetual war in the middle east. Even now they sell arms to Arabia where they're committing genocide against Yemenites. They also are opposed to Universal Healthcare and continue to claim privatized health is preferable when the body counts keep rising over those who couldn't afford to be treated. And the Dems disregard human life? Reps care more about potential life than the actual living apparently.
And the Democrats you're so against are center right moderates, they're not even left wing. They're neoliberals and take money from corporate donors same as Republicans.
Republicans are the social conservatives, it's why you see the alt right and David Duke swing right towards them.
Historically it's the conservatives that were for slavery, segregation, and bigotry. In the past it was Democrats until FDR fought for the workers and the party became gradually more liberal and progressive. Republicans would become the party of white America, Christian fundamentalism, evangelists, pro big business, and neoconservatism. The conservative party and that's why you do see today the bigots and racists support it. It's not that all conservatives are bigots or racists either, but those that are recognize it as the conservative traditional party. It's the political realignment, conservatives went from Democrats to Republicans, and liberals/progressives went from Republican to Democrats.
