Today's GOP is little more than a white identity death cult. They are motivated by fear, hate, and resentment. During the Obama administration they made it very clear that they don't want a multicultural multi-ethnic America and equal rights for all. They miss the good old days when lynching black folks was family entertainment for white people. They miss the days when white men could get away with murdering black people while they prayed in church. They welcome endorsements from Klansmen and neo-nazis.  Not all Republicans are racists and bigots. How ever they are all willing to share the GOP with them. They have no desire for a merit based society.  Mere equality is a demotion for them.
