Your typical republican

I'm a Republican and I'm angry. I almost never explain why I'm angry, but when I do, I blame it on somebody who had nothing to do with it. I almost never blame the people responsible for what's wrong with government, partly because I voted for them repeatedly, partly because I don't know any better. I never take responsibility for my actions.

I don't understand how government works, but I get upset when the people I've elected, do exactly what it is they said they would do, because I never think about the consequences of what it is they say they want to do. I also like to get help, freebies, or discounts from government or business or anybody who is giving something, but tend to look down on others who do exactly what I do. This is also true in terms of getting divorced, having abortions, cheating on my spouse, abusing children, and being a pervert. It's mostly because I am selfish, unthoughtful, and anti-intellectual, with a slight overbite, and people who think and look differently than I do terrify me. I don't have the capacity to understand or think in nuance, so I tend to stereotype and make assumptions to make myself feel better.

I don't understand the world around me or the changes that occur, and I lack intellectual curiosity, so I tend to say the same things regardless of new data, old data, logic, nor do I use factually accurate statements. And no, I'm not a racist, I just don't like it when black people talk about race or struggles with the police or the past. They were only slaves for 300 years here - they got a free ride to America, they should be as happy as I am. I mean, I'm not really happy. We live in the greatest country on Earth, but it's a tyranny, and Republicans in Congress are stopping this foreign Muslim Commie tyrant in the White House who for some reason hasn't been able to get everybody a job and prosperity yet. USA! USA!
