Republicans don't believe in democracy, election laws, consensus, mutual respect, or courtesy.

The GOP likes unilateral & arbitrary decisions without consultation.

This isn't "Government by the People, For the People".

It's a hijacking of society by selfish, old, rich, white men who believe no one gets a say, just them.

The violence is the point with intergenerationaly affluent people. It's how they assert their world view. How they assert their identity.

From childhood to elderhood how these bastards see themselves is defined by the privileges belonging exclusively to them.

Hoarded privileges are such a fundamental part of how these kleptokrats measure themselves -and by extension the rest of us- that they feel justified in whatever means are necessary to maintain that status quo.

Cruelty, starvation, homelessness, childhood abuse, neglect, stochastic violence, structural violence, job rationing, disenfranchisement, imprisonment... the litany goes on and on, because for these depraved people the means do not matter, only the ends.

In Jefferson's own words:
I set out on this ground, which I suppose to be self evident, "that the earth belongs in usufruct to the living": that the dead have neither powers nor rights over it. The portion occupied by an individual ceases to be his when himself ceases to be, and reverts to the society.

Adam Smith:
A power to dispose of estates for ever is manifestly absurd. The earth and the fullness of it belongs to every generation, and the preceding one can have no right to bind it up from posterity. Such extension of property is quite unnatural.

In the words of Alexis de Tocqueville
“What is most important for democracy is not that great fortunes should not exist,” he wrote, “but that great fortunes should not remain in the same hands. In that way there are rich men, but they do not form a class.”
