<mind of a republican voter>

There are on the one hand, the pandering pseudo-religious rich that want to co-opt the system for their collective benefit and there are the religious zealots, many whom are poor. If one is truly a centrist - they simply can't be part of this party as it has been sold - it is like Jonestown at this point where there is a cultish devotion to a single person now. All the old centrist ideals and traditional viewpoints have been eroded. In days past - I could have had Republican friends. I don't see how that is possible in today's world. It isn't just about intolerance and racism but other possibly more fundamental things - like treason, criminality, cronyism and nepotism.

From some older papers, but I think it is still true

Results We find that unified party control at the state level has minimal impact on income going to the top 1 percent of income earners within the states, but that unified party control at the federal level does have an effect. Moreover, we find that over the long term, unified Democratic control at the federal level leads to less income going to the top 1 percent, while unified Republican control increases income going to top earners.
