They aren't concerned about shit other than their own power. If the marks keep them in power by hating on trans people then they will pass laws discriminating against trans people. If the marks are hating Mexicans then they will pass discriminatory immigration laws. If the marks are hating on Arabs etc. . . . The only people in the GOP who really actually give a fuck about this bullshit are the useful idiots like MTG and their cabal of drooling Chri$tian fuckery. The (perhaps unintended but, I think not) consequence of using this rhetoric is it attracts the Nazis. (I don't use neo- because it trivializes the danger that these folks pose.) Once the Nazis get in control, the folks they are passing discriminatory laws about now could become 'lamp-shades or wallets' to quote a screed I read on Stormfront. Don't think that it can't happen here.
