32. The one that rises above the rest... losing power. |
|
When they lose power, they will be vulnerable for investigations and possible criminal indictments for all their deeds done while they were in power. I think they are shaking in their boots over this. This is why they are so afraid to let go and will do any dirty business like swiftboating the opposition so they don't get kicked out of office.

-not having an enemy or an "evil empire" to rally against or wage a war against -not having a non-authoritarian or "daddy figure" -not being on the "winning team"(as marketed to them) -of losing their place at the head of the line (real or imagined) to women, gays, people of color, etc. -independent and critical thinking
Right wingers basically vote for whoever does the best job of scaring the bejeezus out of them.

87. Anything they can't understand immediately |
|
The college student response to anything unfamiliar is, "That's boring."
The freeper response to anything unfamiliar is fear, deep-down, but REAL MANLY MEN (and the women who are co-dependent with them) cannot admit to fear, so they get ballistically angry and start raving against educated women, colleges, Greenpeace, etc.

That they will be judged on their abilities, and not just granted what they think they are entitled to merely because they were born white and in the US.
That there might not be someone for them to look down on, a group, collectively.
That there might not be an enemy to hate.

It is to their benefit to keep people stupid, uneducated and ignorant. Notice a large portion of their voting block comes from this type of person. Why else do you think they are not interested in improving schools and supporting the education of college students? The more intelligent and less gullibe a person is, the less likely they will vote for these clowns.
