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.

exactly, I choose to donate my charity to places that make me feel best about doing it. That's what's great about it, I get to pick who I'm helping & through what vehicle. What better way to do it, right?

BTW, let's see that study and see if it's not all self-reported? That would indicate that the left is simply more honest and not necessarily less giving.

You first. You find one that says Democrats give more, then I'll give one that says Republicans give more & you'll either ignore it or chastise it because you don't like it. Also, I'm a real taxpayer, so I "donate" to a lot of people I don't want to also.

I must've missed your study. If you posted it, please do again. Seriously. And thanks for the name calling. It simply validated my real opinion. Stereotypes exist for a reason. You're why. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
