I find it disgraceful

that the rethugs have the nerve to use the elephant to represent who they are as a party. They are nothing like elephants.

Most contemporary ethologists view the elephant as one of the world’s most intelligent animals. Elephants manifest a wide variety of behaviors, including those associated with grief, learning, mimicry, play, altruism, use of tools, compassion, cooperation, self-awareness, memory, and communication.

that nails the emotional description of the effers. It lacks the killer instinct that the party has.

They're smart and they are very emotional. I saw a video once, I think it was around here, of two elephants who had been separated 50 years ago. They still recognised each other! They entwined their trunks and made noises like they were happy. It will make you cry.
