Why are Republicans such dicks? (part 3,124)

Republicans don't give a rat's ass about freedom, justice, or the Constitution.

Republicans don't care about humanity's future, given their stance on climate change.

Republicans don't even care about their own children, given their stance on climate change.

Republicans care about their own wealth and power above all else.

Republicans will let a crazed president run amok, to avoid pissing off the crazies.

Republicans have no empathy or sympathy for other human beings on this planet.

Republicans will back any atrocity that benefits them.

Republicans are really horrible dicks.

Never mind that "the Rapture" was never part of Christian theology till John Nelson Darby invented it in the 19th century.

A few examples:

They were against joining our allies in WWII.

They fought tooth and nail against Medicare and Medicaid.

They were against Social Security.

They claim to be against abortion, yet get them for their mistresses.

They lie, cheat, and steal to keep power and do nothing for their constituents.

They suck. Bigly.

They're dicks, which means their parents are dicks, which means their grandparents are dicks, and so on and so forth. I'm sure you would find a lot of stories like this if you dig deep enough.
