Circularity and Cruelty

I will try to come clean. I've accused Republicans of circularity--arguing from conclusions. For example--cutting taxes on the rich. Republicans don't reason their way to this position. They start with it and find ways of justifying their conclusions. This is the work of hacks, as opposed to people with consciences, convictions, and fair and reasonable minds

Now is where I come clean. I think everybody does this, all the time--most people projecting their own drives and psychological makeup onto the world. The quality of that psychological makeup is the determining factor and Republicans are unrepentant assholes. These assholes project their anger and aggression onto others. Their systems are therefore sick.

Brutality, boom-and-bust economies, chronic warfare and economic exploitation are the result. Their intellectual constructs are self-negating. Their social constructs are self-negating. Everything about them is self-negating. People are capable of higher things than predation, but not Republicans. They are parasites and the party of exploitation.
