The Republican Party has fundamentally changed, from one of middle class strivers, buying into the ideals that they too, can lie, cheat and steal their way to the top, if only they leave the right people in charge long enough for them to get there too.

To one of Middle Class survivors, intent on. Keeping their gains, or getting back perceived losses, from those other, less deserving, less Christian, less American, less white…

That is the swing, from strivers to survivors…

from a message of hope, for an impossible future…

To a message of hate, striving for a past that never existed.
