    They’ll never outwardly blame Trump for that. Hence the strained smiles. When they crow about accountability and personal responsibility, that’s just projection, they know at some level having none is what makes them modern Republicans.

    Republicans can do and have unleashed knowing pain on themselves solely because their enemies would suffer too as the point. They believe that’s all government is for, a way to hurt people, a weapon.

    A Republican has no problem walking around in discomfort with shit in their pants, so long as the innumerable people they hate have to smell it. The cruelty is the point. The play pretend that their guy didn’t cause the same pain to them as they revel in your pain for the exact same problem is just fanning their shitty ass towards you.
