10 REASONS REPUBLICANS KNOW NO JOY
I feel sorry for
Republicans.
They know NO JOY!
They know NO JOY!
Look at them: They've got virtually all the money. They control the media. They've got the vote in America hacked; their political future is insured.
Yet they're unhappier than ever! In fact, they're almost going nuts.
What's the deal?
10
reasons why Republicans live in Hell:
1) Republicans are mostly Philistines, so the pleasures of art & literature are mostly denied to them.
2) They believe society is hopelessly decadent, so they're largely isolated from the culture that surrounds them.
3) They hate anyone who disagrees with them, which is most people. So their only friends are creeps like themselves (& I say that with love).
4) They are capable of having sex, but their sex drive is very modest. & of course they're not very good-looking. So there's not much joy of sex. Then there's all those sexual hang-ups––homophobia, misogyny, etc.)
I don't want to talk about
it!
5) Republicans have almost no sense of humor. They rarely even know when someone is kidding. Their only real joy is Schadenfreude––taking pleasure from other people's pain. They can enjoy a good gloat after a stolen election, but the pleasure is short-lived.
6) They're rather paranoid, always thinking liberals or Muslims or Jews or someone is plotting against them. They believe we're in a war on terrorism that will go on forever, & which we can never really win.
How's THAT for a bummer?
7) Their policies never work, but they haven't noticed. They have to keep saying the economy is booming, when it's obviously not; that the war in Iraq is going well, which it is not; that America is doing well, when it most certainly is not.
8) Their tanking poll numbers prove that most Americans are seeing through their lies & getting madder & madder at them.
That's gotta hurt, right?
9) They're not the most honest people in the world. Republicans tend to be crooked businessmen & the like. No matter how successful they become, they always have to watch out for the law.
10) They have to rationalize horrible things, such as war, pollution, election fraud, political repression, treason, & torture.
They must know somewhere
deep
inside
that they're going to be punished
for all the things they're perpetrating!
