Today's Brian

You can't win a Republican primary unless:
  • you tack to the right farther than everybody else
  • you constantly punch down
  • you amp up the culture war bullshit
"We should help people? OK, yeah - we'll help you rationalize your fear and hatred. Hell, we'll invent something for you to hate if you start feeling kind and generous toward anyone but the people we identify as acceptable. We're going to work hard to keep you isolated and afraid, so you won't be able to make common cause with each other - to solve problems - or demand solutions from a government that actually works - fuck that. But most of all, we're trying to make sure you never see that we're the ones creating these problems in the first place."
