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

They do keep causing fights to protect their way of life at the expense of everyone else.

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.

good ol' Schrodinger's immigrant : both lazy and hard-working until you actually meet one in person and the wavefunction collapses
