The GOP thinks poor = lazy. They are completely out of touch with reality.
No, the GOP knows that in order to sustain their own laziness, they need a hard-working, desperate class of poor people, and anything that elevates them might mean that they might need to contribute closer to their fair share.
“There are men who, through ownership of land, are able to make others pay for the privilege of being allowed to exist and to work. These landowners are idle, and I might therefore be expected to praise them. Unfortunately, their idleness is only rendered possible by the industry of others; indeed their desire for comfortable idleness is historically the source of the whole gospel of work. The last thing they have ever wished is that others should follow their example.”
― Bertrand Russell
Only the well-off republicans do. The poor republicans think that they’re poor because of immigrants.
Yeah, no good lazy immigrants that just want to steal our jobs and also never do any work and just steal our welfare money somehow and also… just, like, steal? I think? They’re bad.

Look at it this way: if we let Congress use our tax money for our benefit, then there would be less available for them to plunder, misappropriate, and generally hand out to their rich buddies.
If you are poor, it is your fault and thus you do not deserve anything good happening to you.
Also, if you sleep on the street, which, remember, is your fault because you are poor, that’s illegal and we’ll send you to jail.
No internet means the gullible masses will remain uninformed and vulnerable to manipulation.
The GOP wants a solid foundation of uneducated poor to exploit as the base workforce and voter base.
Cheap idiots to fuel their companies.
Not that I disagree with you, but the internet has also made a massive amount of people uninformed and vulnerable to the internet misinformation. See: any point in the last 20 years.
Yeah “cheap broadband internet to rural America” basically means increasing the market for Fox News in HD.
