I'm finally black pilled on Republicans. I thought for years that they were just uneducated morons that could be redeemed. I then realized with the second administration that no, they're just intellectually inconsistent and will do mental gymnastics ensuring they are never wrong nor accountable.

Good, nearly all of them just grow up to vote like their parents too

Maybe a few generations of crippling poverty and authoritarianism will weed out their tendency for monarchy
