    Modern Republican voters embrace pyrrhic victories. Their goal is never to make things better for anyone, it is solely to cause harm to their enemies at any price. They literally, reliably vote to hurt themselves, to take away their own rights, so long as their countless enemies, everyone outside their rigid in-group, suffer along with them. It’s a race to the bottom, their enemies losing is the only victory they care about. It is an obsession.

    Modern Republicans will happily shit their own pants with a forced victorious smile, as long as any of the “filthy leftists/coloreds/queers/heretics/etc” that they hate more than they love themselves or their own families will have to stand around and smell it.

    That to me is the most important distinction between them and just about every other American. I want them to have access to medical care based on need and not income. I want them to have access to quality education from pre-K through college whether they have rich parents or not, we all know they really fucking need it.

    They, on the other hand, would rather someone like me be dead, preferably by cruel and painful means. That’s why they love Trump so much, he talks lovingly on stage about how he’d like to “beat the crap out of” those that dissent from the Republican message, to thunderous Republican applause.
