Their bottom line is protecting movement conservatism by duping others into supporting their opulent lifestyles. Most of Carson’s campaign was based on grifting. They know that if they can rile some people up emotionally, they can get them to forget about thinking logically and persuade them to open their pocketbooks and send them some of their hard-earned cash. Limbaugh uses his program to convince less fortunate Americans to support policies that protect his wealth and so do those who appear on Fox regularly. Look at what happened to that right-winger last year who lost his health insurance, tried to get Obamacare, and was denied coverage because those he’d voted into office refused to expand Medicaid. Dude was very pissed and blamed the president because he didn’t qualify for Medicaid in his state. He went begging on GoFundMe and quickly found that most who donated money for his medical expenses were, GASP! Democrats and liberals. I donated to his fund and left a message that it would be wise if he’d stop listening to those on the right who had convinced him that liberals/democrats are evil. I didn’t read one comment from a right-winger on the site. Not one. They respond well to bigoted bakers who refuse to bake cakes for LGBTQ Americans, but don’t ask them to help someone who needs funding for medical expenses.
