Why are Republicans such dicks? [View all]

I've used that headline many times over the years. And each time I do, it turns out that they're bigger dicks than they were the previous time I used it.

Now that they are on the verge of holding all the levers of power, (the presidency, both houses of congress, and the SCOTUS),, they no longer need to disguise their ideology/beliefs/plans. Actually, I'm surprised they put their blueprint for America in writing in the document they call Project 2025. They've told us right up front that they want to take us back, not a few decades, but a few centuries.

Women are property. White Christians (with the proper beliefs) are the Master Race. Kindness, service and charity are practiced by fools. And those fools are there to obey and serve the "Chosen Few." -- That's pretty much the philosophy of today's Republican Party.

Assuming they don't destroy the planet in the near future, and assuming Mother Nature doesn't do it for them,, is their a future in which humanity will evolve beyond our current, primitive state? One can only hope so.

But in the near future, the barbarians will be running things. And I fear that it's going to get far uglier than many of us are currently expecting.

So back to that original question. Why are Republicans such dicks? Do they have different genes than the rest of us? Does cruelty bring them joy? Why do they lack empathy? How have they gotten so many to buy into obvious hypocrisy? Do they represent the future and the ultimate descent of humanity back to the caves? -- I don't know. But the near future is about to descend on us and I fear it's going to be an era of darkness.
