    I would still place some blame on Republicans for insisting on nominating sexual offenders, corrupt pieces of shit, etc. Yes the Dems should have done more to stop them, but i think the GOP should bear some responsibility for being sociopaths

      Blaming Republicans is like blaming a wolf for eating a chicken. It’s in their nature, it’s what they do. So no, I’m going to blame the farmer for allowing the wolf into the chicken coop in the first place.

        Don’t blame the murderer, it’s just in their nature. Hmmm…. Pretty shit take TBH. Dems are chickenshit fail lovers, but let’s be real. The reason the SC is loaded with these scumbags is due to Republicans, Bitch McTurtle, and the Fed Soc.

      Republicans are human, but they’re not people in the normative sense of the word. Blaming them is like blaming rabid animals. You might think this is an exaggeration. Technically, only 5% of people are psychopathic, but the condition is a spectrum. Sub-diagnostically, it’s closer to 30% of the population. Those are the folks happy to ban abortion, criminalize homosexuality, etc. A main feature of psychopathy is an indifference to the truth, moral or empirical, and the suffering of others.

        The more I learn about things like this, the more I start to think that any quorum-based governance (e.g. democracy) is not just a scheme to balance radical differences of opinion, but to average out adverse and dysfunctional psychology. This, of course, has broken down somewhat, due to forces that keep selecting for more psycopathy than not.
