If you want any of the things that make life bearable and livable you are a taker and socialist even communist. That situation is framed as being TOO FAR LEFT for America. The GOP wants a medieval American where the masses serve the interest of the super wealth. It is a new aristocracy of the rich in America.
The GOP/Trump and its super rich donors want a "Metropolis" America. And they are well on their way to achieving such goal. It is an America where the Dickensonian era in England would look like a socialist paradise.
Making America great agains is about making a great place for billionaires and the super rich. As for the rest of us it will be just crumbs. And using racial hatred, bias, bigotry etc seems to have worked and seems to be still working. Making the immigrants, blacks and hispanics the boogeyman is their stock in trade. And too many poor and economically bankrupts fools have fallen for it.
