Reply #26: Thinking? Reptiles don't think! [View All]

They react.

The Rept-publican brain has no cerebral cortex to speak of, and their nervous systems are unencumbered by what we would call "emotions." They do experience feelings - lust, jealousy, superiority/inferiority, greed, envy - but those feelings are not complicated enough to be called emotions. They react to their negative feelings by lashing out at the rest of the world, and by stealing what belongs to others to feed their superiority complex.

It's an interesting question - do they really think the rest of us are SO stupid that we wouldn't catch on to what they are doing? They've known for generations now that MANY among us ARE that stupid. I think it's hubris - that superiority complex - that has allowed them to take it to the level that this administration has taken it to. They've counted on the fear they instill to keep those of us who have ALWAYS known what they are up to from having a voice to rationally discuss it with the rest of the country. They depend upon the negative feelings in others to keep them from thinking. It's actually all pretty brilliant. Except for that hubris. That will be their downfall, ultimately.

I like your line about "the country is safe from having a Republican president elected to office for many, many, many years to come." However, we need more than the ballot box to keep these Rept-publicans from continuing their plundering of our planet. We need the courts and the prisons as well. We cannot allow to happen what happened after Watergate and Iran-Contra. We need to actually go after them, try, convict, and remove them from society. Otherwise, just like with any other reptile, after a nap and a snack, they'll be back. They must be removed from society, permanently, and quite frankly, by any means necessary.
