They’re sort of like the one kid in kindergarten who could never manage to figure out which plastic peg went in which hole and would just get frustrated and throw things. Except that they never grew out of it. Here they are, twenty or thirty or sixty years later, still unable to grasp the simple fact that the world just is what it is and the round peg isn’t going to go in the square hole no matter how much you pound on it, and still angry over it, as if it’s some sort of vast conspiracy rather than just the fact that they’re fucking morons.
That has to be an unpleasant way to live.
Of course, they’re such vile and loathsome and destructive assholes that my pity is short-lived, but still…
Yeah. Most conservatives I know have short tempers and they get extremely carried away when they are in groups. I mean, it doesn’t matter what they are getting mad at, just as long as everyone is getting pissed off at the same time and about someone else or some other ideology. The key point is they believe they are victims of “the system” or “libruls” and not their own bad choices.
It’s very similar to how Putin is constantly crying about how Russia is a victim of NATO aggression, actually.
Just tell a person that their way of life is being attacked and that you have all the solutions.(Simplified Hermann Goering quote. Allegedly.)
In all seriousness, I sort of pity conservatives.

I think you mean the square peg in the round hole my friend.
Well damn.
No - I very deliberately used round peg in the square hole, initially just to avoid the cliche, but the more I thought about it, the more I liked it.
Conservatives pound on round/natural/organic/smooth pegs to try to force them into square/artificial/contrived/rigid holes.
I liked it anyway…
