We are all
of the same mentality, and the fact is we do get use to our own stink.
When we
first got to Alaska my wife and I both smoked.
The Native kids would come over to the house and tell us ‘your house
stinks.’ Native kids are refreshingly
unabashed - they say what they think.
Our house
was always clean, and at first we were somewhat resentful; because when we
visited the Native houses there would be dried, smoked salmon on the counter, a
chunk of moose quarter sitting on the floor in a cold corner of the room and
perhaps muskrats being skinned in a tub in the kitchen floor.
It is the
same thing in politics: our own opinions are reasonable and everybody who
doesn’t agree with us is actually stupid or else conniving – looking out for
themselves at the expense of others.
So where
does that leave us?
I actually
do believe that most people that vote Republican are on the down side of the IQ
scale – or looking out for their own personal interest at the expense of others.
I know that
what I think is true, because my shit doesn’t stink as much as everybody
else’s.

ReplyDeleteI don't know if either is true, but I do believe most of them are delusional. They may be just voting based on some wedge issue like abortion or guns.(What the hell makes them think the FuckingRepublican'ts will protect the Second Amendment when they are so quick to trample the rest of the Amendments????)
To me it is a huge mystery as to why anyone not in the top 1% would vote GOP because they don't give a fuck about people, only property. This may be part of the answer;
