  • Their worldview quite literally stems from the idea that there should be Out-Groups whom the law binds but does not protect, and In-Groups whom the law protects but does not bind.

    That’s how they square their “don’t tread on me” attitude with their want of big government. They recognize that in order to properly humiliate and subjugate “the others,” they need a big state militarized police force and constant surveillance, but if they were ever themselves to fall victim to it, then they cry foul. They can’t learn the lesson until they’re caught up in it, and usually instead of updating their opinion and voting like it, they simply drop out of the democratic process all together, saying that “both parties are the same.”

    They are the uneducated simpletons that the founding fathers feared, which is why they originally wanted only educated people to vote. I’m, uh, starting to come around to the idea myself.
