Heard a comedian sum up what it means to be a Republican in one single sentence.

You have to be a total asshole about absolutely everything.

The more I think about it, the more I admire the simplicity and accuracy of this statement.

it seems to fit in every situation, and is predictive as well.

15. The only people who vote for republikans are billionaires and suckers.....

They can check their wallet to see which one they are........

I didn't originate that (and don't know who did), but I find it's true.

17. Exactly right. Angry, sour, pissed off, ill-tempered, contemptuous, annoyed and resentful. Take your pick.

[Trueblue Texan]

5. Mary Karr's memoir, The Liar's Club...

10. Being a Republican only makes sense

if you're a Straight White Rich Christian Male, and an asshole. For every one of those other things that you aren't, you have to be that much of a bigger asshole for it to still make sense.

12. Media outlets really need to replace the word "Republican" with "Asshole" in their style guides.

Literally everything Republicans say and do is cruel, nasty, racist, stupid, violent, dishonest, corrupt, intentionally ugly and motivated by revenge.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

13. But what has happened has taken Republican out of the fight.

It's his party, and they love being assholes. And their voters love assholes more than their freedom.

[NBachers]

14. And Proud Of It!

[kimbutgar]

24. Vote Republican lose your rights

[Seinan Sensei]

25. I used to tell my kids

Republicans think poor people have too much money
And rich people don't have enough

This reply made their school-teachers angry on more than one occasion

[Ocelot II]

26. John Kenneth Galbraith nailed it, too:

"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."

[Initech]

27. I like the one I saw the other day:

"Democrats look like America, republicans look like the most exclusive country club in America." So true.
