Republicans are spoiled children who haven't been been properly raised or disciplined...

I was listening to an interview on CBC news this morning with a republican state level leader, I can't remember his specific position. I don't believe he was an actual elected official so much as the leader of some republican organisation. At any rate besides the usual outrage that he instilled in me, I had to turn the radio off at one point, one thing that occured to me was that he sounded like a child who had no idea what he was talking about and was throwing a tantrum.

The republicans are children who have not been educated, who don't know the consequences of their actions, and often don't care. They have never felt the consequences of their actions. They have been raised in this pampered 1st world bubble listening to fox news and not receiving a proper education. They see no connection at all between what they want and the dangers of totalitarianism, of facism. And because they have never received a well rounded education nor have they ever felt the consequences of those types of regimes they see no connection between lies and abuses of power and the danger of sliding into totalitarianism. To them things like the checks and balances of power between the branches are more an anoyance to passing legislation they want that would benefit themselves (again children). They need to be taught a lesson. I feel all of America does.

1. This is one of the traits they share, for sure.

By definition, if you are a republican and not a millionaire (they have an excuse, greed), there is something deeply wrong with you.

2. I think they were more ignored and abused children

Who never got the love they needed in childhood to become a self confident adult. They have to lash out and be selfish because they never got validation in their childhood. Most conservatives I have met always mention they had a tough childhood or strict parents.
