The uneducated working class wants canned answers and black and white statements about right and wrong and they expect authority figures to provide it.
The GOP elite ruling class wants to be authoritarian, wants to provide their black and white canned answers and demands people loyally follow them.

Which ever end of the GOP you are in, this combination of expectations works great.

All the democrats have going for them is people who respect knowledge and careful reasoning. That's by and large the middle class and working class people aspiring to the middle class. And that is why the GOP is at war with the middle class.
