GOP policies strive to "improve" the gene pool

[Nancy Waterman]

by letting the sick and the poor die with no health care, by ending Meals on Wheels and other poverty programs,
by supporting genetic testing for prospective employees, etc.

It is not just the racial slurs from the Right, but policies that seem bent on eliminating the weak and the vulnerable. They have not outright declared this as policy, but it doesn't take much of a search to see the stench of Nazi-style eugenics underneath the Bannon/White Supremacist Party's agenda.

The GOP has always been about rugged individualism and letting the weak fall by the wayside, rather than offering a helping hand.
This tendency has now gotten even more extreme.

1. The GOP is always willing to offer a helping hand..................................

to the rich.

[Nancy Waterman]

2. It is far worse than that

Given the smell of white supremacy that now permeates the party, I don't think they would complain if the weaker links in society just would conveniently die off. they are certainly doing little to support them. It is a political passive aggression: an aggressive action that manifest by doing nothing.

6. Perhaps the GOP leaders feel that there will always be more

people immigrating to replace those who die or are deported.

3. Darwin would be proud of them.

Survival of the fittest is pretty evolutionary for those that call evolution a hoax.

[Nancy Waterman]

5. Exactly

They are also big on economic Darwinism: survival of the fittest and let the rest die out.

[Hekate]

8. Poor old Darwin was not responsible for "social Darwinism" but the classes so inclined ....

...certainly found it an awfully convenient justification for neglecting the undeserving poor and wretched of the Earth. Or rather, a new justification, because the mean-spirited have always found reasons to justify cruelty to their fellow humans. Look up "predestination" and "salvation of the elect" if you like.

4. The GOPers are already experiencing a severe genetic bottleneck, which is spiraling out of control.

7. Dumb and dumber

Indeed.
