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.

Charities are way more efficient at helping people than the government is.

The government sucks at spending your taxdollars. If you haven't been paying attention. Almost every major government program is rife with fraud. To the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, possibly in the trillions.

If that were true then government wouldn't have had to step in.

Almost every major government program is rife with fraud

And yet no definitive proof of this fraud is ever presented.
