5. It is Republicans blind adherence to failed, wrongheaded conservative dogma.

“Do most Republicans really not give a flying rat's ass if people die or suffer because they want everything to be privatized and/or as little government as possible?”

No, they think they’re ‘helping,’ it’s Republicans who are naïve and sophomoric.

They incorrectly believe that government ‘interferes’ with individual initiative, which is as ridiculous as it is wrong.

They also buy into the myth of ‘disincentives,’ that if government provides citizens with education and healthcare, people will become ‘lazy,’ not work hard, and fail to achieve the goals needed for a successful society, when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.

Republicans are, for the most part, blind ideologues, who eschew any and all who fail to abide by sanctioned rightwing dogma, and attack those who dare dissent.
