Why are so many Republicans drinking this 'CRAZY JUICE?'

A true Matthews classic

For them, it's more than a 19th century mindset that favors so-called native cultural values over those of immigrants. For one thing, there are no true native American values, except maybe those of the Lakota (aka Sioux), Dine (aka Navajo), Tsistsistas (aka Cheyenne) among others, as almost all of our cultural values came from abroad. In the case of the modern Republican party, it's a rigid patriarchal mindset that goes back at least 2,000 years. It's a refusal to accept science. It's a favoring of aristocrats and corporate elites over the common people. It's the celebration of cruel behavior, without compassion, and that is sociopathic.
