Why are Republicans mostly a defensive party.?

Republicans are defensive of one thing:  Government Money.  Republicans can squeeze a government penny so hard; that you can hear Abraham Lincoln scream through the coin.  

They're too busy from being CONSTANTLY attacked by the LIEberal left socialist demoCROOK party the demoCROOK party's supporters and the dems publicity and media department the alphabet MSM to do ANYTHING but defend themselves!! Remember the last 4 YEARS ALL 3 of the above listed have been CONSTANTLY assaulting the republican party AND Trump while ALSO DEMANDING they fix our country's problems while defending themselves! What I find ironic is MORE than 4 YEARS from the MOMENT it was announced Trump had won the 2016 election the demoCROOK party and MSM has done EVERYTHING in they're power to fracture and divide our country and people BUT as soon as it was announced that THEY won the POTUS election they're NOW calling for unity while they STILL ILLEGALLY try to impeach Trump and many of the dem supporters DEMAND Trump's supporters be "reeducated", have they're citizenship STRIPPED, they're assets seized, tried for TREASON and SEDITION and they be DEPORTED!!! UNITY MY AZZ!!!

Many people actually used to look to themselves to solve their own problems. And they can best accomplish that by keeping more of their own monies earned, and without third parties pretending to know what is better for you than you do for yourself. 

Brutes, regressives, WHATEVER...🤔

It's a trait.

These types are the protectors not the providers. They know it too.

It's why many brag about how they can provide when they can.

The provisions are made by the providers through TAXES....👁️

BLUE states taxes providing for lifestyles of the red states.......🤑

It's why many are poor in NEW YORK with an income twice the size of a middle classed family in Arkansas.....🤔

Its an admission of guilt...
