The Republican Party - A Coalition of Bigots and Billionaires

In return for tax cuts that benefit the wealthy and rolling back regulations that protect the middle class and poor, rich people provide campaign funding for politicians who cater to bigotry and racial and gender based resentment with promises to MAGA. The bigots provide the votes, grassroots support and Fox viewership. The billionaires provide the campaign cash flow and advertiser dollars.

In short, it is amazing how the Republican Party has transformed itself over the years into this simplistic, hermetically sealed, co-dependent coalition. Yet, it is incredibly effective and immune to disruption.
