    Right. Conservative behavior makes a whole lot more sense when you assume they believe rich people deserve to be that way, that other people are inherently bad, and they need to keep them down.

    Trick is, they know centrists would never go along with it if they came right out and said that. They don’t have enough numbers on their own to implement these policies in a democracy. That’s where all the nonsense statements come from. They’re preying on people who deeply believe both sides have good and bad points, but who don’t have a good filter for junking the bad ones.
