GOP is a fear-based party. Fear mongering is its specialty.
At the heart of the GOP is the belief that people of color have destroyed the US economy for the white people, which is why they spend so much time hating on Obama. Obama becoming president was the party's worst nightmare.
The GOP doesn't say this out loud or even admit this to itself. Instead the hate surfaces in other ways, such as birther extremism and harsh immigration policies. Even if I agreed with GOP economic trickle down principles, I would never be a member of a party that hates so many people.
