"The GOP has convinced their voters that running the government as a business is a great idea, it's not. The GOP have convinced scared white, Christian, racist, xenophobic people that all the government does is waste their hard earned money paying benefits to poor, non-working, non-white, non-Christian, non-citizen, LGBTQ's." By characterizing it like that, you implicitly provide evidence to them that they are correct in that assumption. You create a binary situation where EITHER the government is doing a good job but they are "white, Christian, racist, [and] xenophobic" OR the government really is wasting their hard-earned money paying benefits to a bunch of "not my folk" and they aren't in fact racist/xenophobic/other bad things. You aren't encouraging people to be less of those bad things; you're encouraging people to implicitly choose the side of the dilemma where they're already not bad, because of course they know themselves and they aren't bad, so we must be on the second branch. I'm not talking about Aristotelian logic here, I'm talking about human intuitionist and tribal logic, and of course by extension, if I'm talking about that, I'm not talking about anything like actual facts.
