Why are Republicans such dicks?

6. it's the frustration of having an ideology that doesn't comport with reality.

they believe in a social hierarchy based on fictions about men being better than women, whites being better than blacks, etc.

reality doesn't align with this. people are people, we all have our various strengths and weaknesses, and even if you can find certain tendencies among arbitrarily drawn subgroups in society, that doesn't shed much light on how to interact with actual individuals or how to conduct public policy.

reality is constantly giving them pushback. some individuals who don't tick every privilege box somehow keep outperforming, and some individuals who do keep lagging.

so they keep crying for hurdles to be put in the path of minorities and women, because they're ideology is based on privilege making a big difference in their lives. if their privilege won't prop them up, they want lack of privilege to really sock it to others.

and it's basically a religion to them, they simply can't adapt and change. so they double down in defiance and anger and resentment that the world isn't the way they wish it was.


if we weren't all suffering from their actions, it would be tragic. bottom line is that they're simply too stupid to realize how counter-productive their actions are. eventually, demographics will force this country to accept reasonable control by minorities and women. the bigots really should NOT be advocating a worldview based on privilege that will soon be handed over to others. equality and fairness would be a much better deal for white men in the long run. a hierarchical worldview will eventually bite us white men in the ass one day.
