Because the Republican Party sole purpose is to further the interests of wealthy and corporations but the only way they can do that is build a platform on racism and xenophobia to trick the less educated or informed into voting for them.

There's an out, and it's us standing outside before being driven to extreme violence. We should talk about that.

Perhaps not SOLE, but that's also the main purpose of the Dem leadership.

That's a big reason why they're so bad at messaging: they're having to appeal to a base who mostly loathe billionaires and big corporations while also making sure that the billionaires and corporations don't get annoyed and stop enriching them.

Yeah, can't have fascism without a million lies and constant scapegoating of already vulnerable groups of people.

Yuuup. The oligarchs would actually love to keep immigrant labor, but they see it as a worthwhile scapegoat to keep their voting bloc united.
