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.

Given that research has shown Republicans tend to donate more to charities than Democrats do? Unlikely.

Edit: anybody responding, feel free to justify your dismissive takes with facts or citations?

Performative donations to your own church don’t really count as “charitable”, amigo.

Tithing dressed up like charity isn't charity.

Yeah charities they founded themselves? I don’t think you understand anything about how charities work, or you wouldn’t equate donating to charity with seflessness.

What do the numbers on both sides look like without church donations?

Many of their charities spread hate and prejudice around the globe.
