Republicans Don't Care

Republican politicians don't care.  They just don't.  The only people they care about are the lobbyists and donors who bankroll their campaigns, whether direct or through 501c3's. That's it!  No one else.  They could care less about the people they represent.  They only worship the money they can raise, and the cush lobbying gig waiting for them when they retire.  They know if they do a good job representing the money, their wife, kids and grandkids will all get lobbying gigs too.  They don't care.

They don't care about the voters who voted for them.  When was the last time you saw a Republican politician, state or national, pass a bill where the common person was the sole beneficiary of the outcome of the legislation?  When?  It's been decades.  There might be a few constituent scraps in a bill, but Republican bills are primarily for corporations and the ultra wealthy.  Heck, in Minnesota they couldn't even give the unemployed Iron Range workers the money the state had set aside for extended unemployment assistance without giving a massive tax hand out to their corporate buddies first.  They do not care.

They sure as hell don't care about the people who vote Democrat.  All the phone calls made, all the protest marchers, all the screams; they ignore them all.  You are their enemy, and they want to hurt you.  They take pleasure in it.  If they could, Republicans would scream in your face, "You're house got destroyed in a natural disaster?  GOOD!  Serves you right for not voting for me.  I'm not going to get you the help you need, just lap up your tears!  Maybe next time you'll think before you vote!" They don't care!

They don't care about how the laws they pass will hurt hundreds of millions of Americans.  They don't care about the damage they can do to this country, and the Constitution, by forcing a megalomaniac's nefarious agenda on the masses.  They don't care about using Christianity as a thin veil for their very anti-Christian agenda.  They don't care about putting grossly incompetent, unqualified boobs into the highest seats of power in the United States.  They just do not care!

Even if we stay angry, stay focused, keep the fire burning, and vote them all out of office in 2018 and 2020, they'll never apologize, they'll never admit they were wrong, they'll never feel remorse, they'll never acknowledge their defeat.  They'll be like the villain in Scooby Doo.  "I would've gotten away with it, if not for those meddling voters!"  And they flip us off, as they take the company limo over to their new office they'll share with their spouse, their kids and their grandkids, all getting million dollar jobs, a thank you from the company they shoveled billions of taxpayer dollars into.

Republicans will never care.  That's why we have to, completely and absolutely.  For every negative force, there has to be a positive one.

That's why I care...
