16. Republicans benefit from the silent fear they're injecting into all of us.

Fascist right-wingnuts want a public living in constant fear of something - fear of guns, fear of your brown skin neighbor, fear of losing Social Security, fear of space lasers, books, vaccines, LGBT, etc. Faux News and Limbaugh preached it 24/7 for decades. Lock your doors and keep yer guns loaded. Build fences and switch off PBS.

A divided, fearful public will slowly loose it's sense of community and brotherhood, and therefore will never organize and rise up against the corporate machine that is the backbone of the GOP. Reagan and Murdoch took the helm soon thereafter, and W used the method to entangle us in a multi-trillion dollar war.

I've been watching it happen since Nixon via Agnew rabidly preached fear of welfare (and government in general) in the South like a tent revival preacher.

Rant done, just my 2c worth.
