Political Question Are Republicans inherently selfish?

Not referring to every individual obviously but as a whole, compared to democrats/independents they seem to really only care about themselves or their immediate family and pretty much have a “f**k em” attitude towards literally everyone else. Does anyone else feel this way?

This would explain why so many are against social policies but have no issue dumping much more money into the military instead, for example.

Just because you donate doesn't make you a good person or any less selfish.

I read an article about this – there is a psychology behind the donations, like it makes them feel good, but it doesn’t make them any less selfish. It’s all a show.
