HEALTH ALERT: Does your country suffer from republicanism?
Does your country suffer from republicanism?

Republicanism (a.k.a Facism in Europe) is a disease that affects nations and often occur when voter count is low or cheated. Symptoms of republicanism can include hate, ignorance, and allergic reactions to science and logic. Republicanism is usually followed up with extreme redness, swelling and inflammation (Figure 1) in many areas including dark, out of reach places where voter rolls are extremely uneducated.

Republicanism, if not treated rapidly, can cause collapse of the economy, congestive air failure, excessive lying, and tightness of education budgets. In extreme cases, Republicanism may cause memory loss, increase the propensity to make fun of purple heart recipients, and even refuse to armor troops in combat situations.

If you, or anyone you love suffers from republicanism, it is best to get them help and in small doses provide them with facts. If you administer too many facts at a single moment, expect the patient to retract in hysteria and cry "Rush said you were an America-hating liberal commie". Over time, you may detect a sense of calm and acceptance of logic in the patient. It is important that you never give up on someone who suffers from this disease, it has affected millions of Americans and only you can help stop the spread of republicanism.

Thank you.

1. You forgot to mention scroogitis and miser's itch.
They frequently accompany the republicanism infection.

2. *lol* while this is hilarious, i wish the disease wasn't called
"Republicanism", as what you describe is not republicanism in the classical founding father sense at all:

"The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind." --Thomas Jefferson: Reply to Address, 1790. ME 8:6, Papers 16:225


ironic, no?
