In my opinion, paradoxically republicans and their base aren’t so much against helping people, they just don’t want anyone to get anything.
It’s like playing with a three year old. They want you to play toy cars with them perhaps, but if you select a car they often get jealous and want to take it from you. Or maybe they get mad about how you play with a car, and tell you that that’s not how that one works. Even though there a plenty of toy cars and how I play with them has no effect on how they play with theirs. That can’t stand to forfeit any control.
Republicans see someone getting something and they get jealous and angry. No fair! Why should poor people get free stuff! It’s not that they relish people being deprived of things (perhaps naive of me to believe), it’s that like a child at a birthday party, they can’t handle watching someone get a gift when they “don’t”.
Long story short, republicans are poorly socialized and behave like toddlers. They’re bad at sharing even when it has no impact on their own personal well-being.
It’s never been about the money.
The Republicans and their grifters want Putin to win. It’s just that simple.
And they want more tax cuts (until barely anything can be funded).
