I f--king hate suburban upper-middle-class Republicans. [View All]

Too foolish not to buy into all the rugged individualism bullshit thrown around by the talking heads and the far-right think-tanks.

Too stupid to recognize their own dependence on government supplied laws and services.

Too obnoxious not to decry the evils of all sorts of government at every possible opportunity, even when it has not even the most tenuous connection to what the subject was.

At least with some rural Republicans there's at the smallest fraction of intellectual honesty, where their "leave me alone" attitude is genuine, and they genuinely don't want much government attention.(Although not to the point of giving up heavily censored TV, of course.)

But the suburban UMC Repubs live in their damn government zoned housing developments, drive on government roads, bitch about how the TV isn't censored enough, watch their parents collect Social Security, use their government regulated phone, water, electrical services, and a dozen other things, then bitch about paying any sort of taxes--usually throwing in a strong dose of contempt for anybody who isn't so strong and ruggedly individualistic as them, anybody who might benefit from government services.
