A thought that came to me when someone was complaining about Republican sabotage of the US Post Office:

Republicans claim to revere the United States Constitution, but moved to sabotage the Post Office, which is explicitly mentioned in the Constitution; they claim to be "pro-life", yet cheer the death penalty and wars, and oppose the reforms that could save poor people from dying from lack of health care; they claim to be the party of Christian values, but ignore some key teachings of Jesus; they claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility, and to be anti-spending, but run up the national debt more than Democrats do; they claim to be pro-business, but don't do the stock market or anybody's income as much good as Democrats do; they complain about "class warfare" when Democrats try to get the wealthy to pitch in, but silently encourage redistribution of wealth upward when they're in power^[1]; they claim their policies support "job creators", but those companies wind up employing fewer people the richer they get. I think, if I squint a little, I might be able to see the faint outline of a pattern.

There's one point of consistency I see: Republicans like to tell us government doesn't work ... and then make sure that it doesn't.
