Other than money and bragging rights about how big of a dick the entire Republican Party is, what do these motherfuckers get out of this bullshit?
They must KNOW that they're being dicks and that they're going to cause irreparable harm to the people that they supposedly answer to. So, why do they do shit like this?
Yes, they're incompetent and ill-tempered and pretty fucking stupid, but something like voting to kick 24 million people off of their healthcare is tantamount to pure fucking evil. Yes, they're absolutely being evil now.
And it's not just this vote. The entire party from local government on up have lost all of their god-damned minds. The ridiculous laws and ordinances that GOPr controlled city councils and state legislatures are mind-boggling stupid, racist sexist and harm-inducing.
This country is heading to the worst shape that it could be in in over a century. We're regressing at a rocket's pace.
Yes, there's resistance, but it's still happening. Until it's stopped, America is going to be in a world of hurt for the next generation... Thank's to the evil machinations of the god-damned Republican Party.
Fuck ALL of those assholes and, of course, FDT.

(52,233 posts)it's only completely idiotic if you care about silly things like "facts".
if their constituents have it rougher because they can't get health care, well, they'll figure out a way to blame that on hillary's email server.
and after 24 hours of harping on it on foxnews, their constituents will believe it, get even angrier, and vote for them all the more.

(13,225 posts)Fox plants the seeds of outrage that someone else is getting more than what they deserve out of the government. I have seen this phenomenon change people who were pretty much nonpolitical into conservative jerks always complaining about the latest contrived "injustice" that Fox has spoonfed them.

(9,265 posts)There's NOTHING in the bill for the average person. Tax cuts for the rich and a big F U to us libtards. I really can't wait to hear their reasons why.

(1,129 posts)It is the
Win - Lose
Us - Them
Black - White
All - None
Mindset that prohibits their ability to fathom that there is more than one RIGHT way/answer ....
Because then how can they really be sure their way is right unless everyone elses's way/answer is definitively Wrong....
That's why they feel compelled to FORCE others to abide by their ways & beliefs ....
because theirs is the only right way and
the more people they can convince or force to join them reinforces their confidence that they truly are RIGHT to feel/believe/behave the way they do.
So they target those who lack the self confidence to resist peer scrutiny...
and offer them the opportunity to become part of the RIGHT group and receive the acceptance and approval of those who share the RIGHT values & beliefs
And demonize those who do have the confidence to stand firm in their beliefs despite peer scrutiny.

(100,076 posts)They've been brainwashed by AM hate radio and Fox News, and the clergy into hating anything to remotely do with being a liberal. They don't know why they hate liberals, even though they agree with our policies, they just hate liberals.
I say they're like the Joker from the Dark Knight. They just do things because they know it pushes our buttons. I'm not a psychiatrist by any means, but I would love to examine the brain of a deplorable to find out what makes them so hateful. Remember - the way to defeat the enemy is to know the enemy.
