They get us fighting a culture war so we won’t fight a class war
The opposite is also true.
Republicans, Neocons, and Conservative Inc. want us focused on economic issues, so we won't notice our decaying culture.
The GOP does nothing to stop drag queen story hour, gay marriage, LGBT Pride events in schools and the military, internet censorship, deplatforming, or toppling of statues and burning of our history -- but hey, they're fighting to reduce taxes by 2%. Whoopee!
