3. Children depend on their parents to take responsibility

Thursday

To enforce (or not enforce) the rules they operate under.
The children know the parents will just pay, or buy, or do whatever; they (the children) can pretty much do whatever they want so long as the parents let them.
And that's the modern Republican in a nutshell. Someone else takes responsibility and pays the price. They can play in their own reality until something crashes.
