The likes of 'Rove' have 'sculpted' an electorate out of Extremists. They are people that don't believe in diversity, are mired in stereotypes and literally hate citizens that are not financially successful. They characterize themselves as hard working, yet, when it comes to people that are hard working but not financially successful, they aren't 'real' Americans.
Biased? Yep.
Bigoted? Absolutely.
Love their government? NO !
Love their 'original' Constitution? You they wrap themselves with it and claim to be 'the real Americans.'
During the 2000 race, the RNC with Rove as 'the architect' found every extremist in the country and promised them the moon. With those promises dangled in front of them like a carrot to a mule, G.W.Bush managed to 'wrangle' his way into the White House. From that day and for the next eight years the USA citizens were treated to some of the most corrupt and incompetent members of our society as legislators and executives to our government. They used 'fear' as a tool with every opportunity that presented itself and made sure we all needed to be praying to the SAME God.
Now, facing odds against them, the Republicans have managed to wrap themselves in the 'Founding Fathers' and the "USA Constitution" and are entertaining more extremists than they have ever entertained before.
Is the country in trouble?
You betcha.
They are sniveling liars that are still trying to carve out an alternate reality to 'find their way back in' to power to run this country further into the ground.
