It's been the same strategy for the last thirty years: scare poor white people into believing gay people, black people, brown people, and yellow people will come take their jobs, women, and livelihoods away unless they vote Republican one more time. Throw in some feel-good nonsense about self-reliance (which is code for selfishness the way patriotism really means nationalism), and you've got yet another administration with long-running ties to the transportation, energy, health, and war industries. In the meantime, other countries develop their public transportation infrastructure, their universal healthcare and free educations, and provide all sorts of good things for their populations. But we're continually reminded that America is just better than everywhere and everything else, so we get to keep sticking our heads in the sand.
