> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > Yeah. It’s been a longstanding delusion for decades, despite all the data showing otherwise. It’s just been a matter of _faith_ that the Republicans are better for business. Dig deeper, and I think it’s a matter of flattery. Republican politicos shout out how awesome the free market and business is: this fires up conservatives, lights up their synapses. Similarly, fury at Elizabeth Warren and further back Franklin Delano Roosevelt was _way_ disproportionate to their policy positions. Superficial arguments by the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page also help, eg “Trump isn’t smart enough to be a dictator.” No guys: that’s not how things work, and that’s not how democracies always die. But the WSJ doesn’t care about getting their story right: their business is giving their readers a charge, not informing them. Reform skeptics used to have a viable spot among the conservative coalition, but honestly those days are past. The center-left is full of wonky thinkers who do care about getting the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed and the Democratic Party would be center-right in any other OECD country. ---

Leopard Eating Faces Party people seem to only feel the pang of facial bite marks when they are bitten directly. Starving kids, elders freezing for lack of heating oil, whatever…but bite my own face, and oh the regret. I hate them, and hope they get bitten a lot. ---

> [@Maserschmidt](#): > > Leopard Eating Faces Party people seem to only feel the pang of facial bite marks when they are bitten directly. Well, yes, that’s kind of the point. They voted for _other people’s faces_ to be eaten, not theirs! _Their_ face getting eaten is the worst injustice in the history of face-eating. According to them, anyways. ---

The real quagmire is when their own family or spouse gets their face bitten. It’s close enough for it not to be fun any more, but still not quite close enough to regret the vote. ---

This is a bit harsh, but I have _long_ defined a Republican as “Somebody to whom (or to whose loved one(s)) it hasn’t happened yet.” There was no Face-Eating Leopard Party back in the day 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/surprises-coming-for-voters-for-the-leopards-eating-faces-party/1010166.md?page=122) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/surprises-coming-for-voters-for-the-leopards-eating-faces-party/1010166.md?page=124)
