Republicans are against the working class, the middle class, women, funding K-16, increasing the minimum wage, social security, seniors, blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, universal health care, voter rights, endangered species, renewable energy, and global warming. In addition, they call the media “the enemy of the people.”

Republicans are pro-gun, torture, nuclear weapons, Big Oil, cigarette manufacturers, corporations, non-taxed foreign bank accounts, the 1 percent, Russia, building a border wall and billionaires.
