Reptilian Republicans

See FO's IPS FB post on this. My comments:

Our lizard brain is useful for fight or flight, and regulating our autonomous processes. But left to itself we'd still be lizards. It is not coincidence that regressive Republican strategy is to activate our lizard to keep us in fight or flight mode. And direct that fight to our peers instead of the real enemy, while fleeing from any hope that things can change for the better. I'm starting to wonder if that insane lizard conspiracy guy (David Icke) isn't right, at least metaphorically.

When Eric suggested we need another Civil War for these cretins, I replied:


The lizard Republicans certainly see what they're doing as a Civil War with the evil progressive socialists. And they fight down and dirty and literally kill people with their policies. That's why I just cannot accept the nice rules of engagement that Michael thinks we should use in our dialogue with them because they do not dialogue. They are out to enslave us all at best and kill the rest at worst. There's no arguing with that fact, and playing nice will only tacitly enable them further. Hence, go Sanders and Warren.
