No. The large proportion of Republicans are serious Christians who donate time and money to helping the less fortunate.
Read this:
The great mass murders of the last century, a couple hundred million starved and murdered, were engineered by socialists.
The most violent group in the USA now is Antifa.

Antifa is nowhere on this list, how they could be described as "the most violent" without actually killing anyone is mysterious or perhaps a definition of "violence" I'm unfamiliar with.
"115 right-wing inspired terror incidents. 35% of these were foiled (meaning no attack happened) and 29% resulted in fatalities. These terror incidents caused 79 deaths.
63 Islamist inspired terror incidents. 76% of these were foiled (meaning no attack happened) and 13% resulted in fatalities. These terror incidents caused 90 deaths.19 incidents inspired by left-wing ideologies (including eco-terrorism).
20% of these were foiled (meaning no attack happened) and 10% resulted in fatalities. These terror incidents caused 7 deaths."

Read the book. Sometimes statistics are a useful supplement to speculation and prejudice.
How much did you donate to the less fortunate last year?

Except for those in that centuries, previous centuries, and the current century that can only be described as capitalists - and who embody and demonstrate traditional libertarian ideals.

"Charity" like the following heartwarming tale:
Is not charity by any sane standard; the whole situation is insanity in any first-world country. That a hero boss then comes along and with a snap of the fingers is able to convert the situation into a sane one, what it should have been all along, is more like leveraging institutionalized madness to enforce their own power.
That is to say if you were to do a dollars-and-cents accounting of the GDP that was actually gained or lost by going thru this big dramatic process it would likely end up a money-loser as compared to if the employee had just had a car available to use to get to work, potentially on the taxpayer dime, from the outset, and could start working at full potential immediately.
But everyone will clap themselves on the back and marvel at the ties of brotherhood on display here and be happy about it while America ends up a little poorer overall.

Two follow-ups to your own post. Are you done yet?
It's admirable that you take old, useless junk to Goodwill instead of to the dump, where you'd probably have to pay.
Aside from that, what have you done to help the less fortunate?

The Salvation Army considers clothing "useless junk" too, apparently.
Like many Christian charities in the US they're too busy trying to convert all the gays and fund political campaigns to revoke people's Constitutional rights to bother with it I guess.
a billion bucks a year donated to tax-exempt religious organizations to lobby politicians for abortion restrictions is not "charity."
OK, I'll take "nothing" as my answer.

in some world-views all Islamist terror attacks count as "left wing" terror attacks because...who knows, as if I've donated any money or time to supporting the Islamic worldview regularly. I don't even buy gas from them when I can avoid it. I never told anyone to convert
Sounds like Trump.
He now wants to change the constitution so he can become king for life!
Not a bit. He is reducing government regulation.
Really?

At the cost of the US and Global economies and the citizens of the US.
Yes. I read it recently. But I know you never look at links, so I didn't bother including it.
However, there are plenty of references on how Trump is already sneaking past the Constitution, and how he regards XI as King and maybe he should give it a shot:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
questionably trying to act within laws passed by Congress, Trump is arguably trying to change the Constitution in a way even Ryan says is
higher for a reason: Because it impacts the very structure of our government. And the Supreme Court has been pretty clear that the 14th Amendment applies to everyone born here. This could very easily be construed as a president overturning Supreme Court precedent.
Even people who favor getting rid of birthright citizenship for the
constitutional amendment or, at the very least, an act of Congress. Doing this via executive action, which is not supposed to create new laws but
even the first time Trump has talked about getting around the Constitution via executive action. Earlier this year, he was supposedly going to somehow institute a line-item veto, even though the Supreme Court had ruled that unconstitutional in the 1990s.
------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trump says supporters might 'demand' that he serve more than two terms as president
Do comic books, or coloring books count?
Hey Mike,.
Off-topic, but then this whole thread is off-topic anyway (as usual). If you don't mind me asking, what dosage of Metformin are you on? My doc has me on it as well (pre-diabetic candidate, here), and frankly, I'm not sure it does a damn thing for me?
I assume you have your diet well under control. My problem is pizza -- and poor planning (food-wise), generally speaking. I'll get hungry and grab the first thing I can find.
Then I grab the second thing, which is usually a chair in front of a PC or a TV. The older I get, the harder it is to get in shape.
