    You shall find your answers if you follow the path of power, which in time will lead into the Forest of Money, and after many days shall lead into the Heart of Dissension. All of it found in the Realm of Mockery.

    For you see, many of the Republican leaders aren’t stupid. They are quite smart. However, they collectively have very similar character traits:

    1. Propensity for hatred
    2. Superhuman ability to project
    3. Stupendously fragile ego
    4. Thirst for power not for, just against
    5. Diligence against learning
    6. Frightened to challenge their own beliefs
    7. Terror of ostracisation
    8. Desire to fit in

    They hate so strongly that they refuse to understand that the “values” they have are projections of their own ego in their thirst for power. This desire for authority is never to help others, it’s to stomp on those who challenge their fragile beliefs lest they get questioned too hard and are kicked from the many mini cults they subscribe to. Don’t believe me? Play “I’m an Imaginary Republican in 2025!”

    "This goes against…! -> “OBAMA…” -> [insert personal attack] -> “My constituents could never…” -> “In 1847…” -> covers ears “LA LA LA” -> Other holdout Republicans begin voting yes on destroying the Universe and all who live within it -> Votes “Yes” trying to be the last holdout because his colleagues know what he’s doing and salty because they know his base probably loved it
