[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 3390494, member: 66082"] The Republican Party I see as very very homogeneous. Meaning the republican base is mostly over 35 year old white people. I think white Americans in general are deeply concerned with maintains their domination of American society. I think white Americans in general view other racial groups as inferior and corrupt and they fear these groups gaining power in American society. This is the main focus of republican politics. Secondarily I think white Americans want the government to help people like themselves and not other Americans. Generally republicans believe in American institutions and capitalism as long as those things serve them and no one else. These are also concerns that some white Americans in the Democratic Party have as well. I think the Republican Party leadership is made up of rich old white people. Who have a radical vision of American Economic life. They’d like to get rid of income taxes, social security, Medicare, Medicaid, the minimum wage, environmental regulations, safety regulations, no help paying for college unless you join the military, etc. This is a viewpoint shared by almost no Americans. So republican elites focus on hot button issues socialism, gay marriage, affirmative action, crime, immigration, etc aimed at letting prejudiced republican voters know we are on your side against those hordes of other Americans.
