The Republican Rationalization Loop


The Republican brain is not that hard to understand.

IF (REPUBLICAN ATROCITY > 0)  

    SET TIMEOUT = (CURRENT BELTWAY MEDIA ATTENTION SPAN)

PERFORM RATIONALIZATION-LOOP UNTIL TIMEOUT = 0 

RATIONALIZATION-LOOP 

          IF TIMEOUT = 0, GOTO EXIT

          IF TIMEOUT >  0, PERFORM (DENY IT HAPPENED)

IF (DENY IT HAPPENED)  = FAIL, PERFORM (LIBERALS ARE TO BLAME)

IF (LIBERALS ARE TO BLAME)  = FAIL, PERFORM (LIBERALS ARE WORSE)

IF (LIBERALS ARE WORSE)  = FAIL, PERFORM (WHATABOUT UNITY + TOLERANCE) 

IF (WHATABOUT UNITY + TOLERANCE)  = FAIL, PERFORM (CHANGE THE SUBJECT)

IF (CHANGE THE SUBJECT) = FAIL, SET TIMEOUT = TIMEOUT - 1

    GOTO (RATIONALIZATION-LOOP ) 

EXIT 


And of course, (REPUBLICAN ATROCITY)  is always > 0.

That's it.

That's all they are.

Which is why we call them reprogrammable meatbags. 


No Half Measures

Wonderful.I suppose that Dimocretins are the ones doing the reprogramming by merely expressing thoughts.

Well, you know, the party the devalues education, independent thought, or erudition has to formalize the playbook to fit the skill levels of their office holders. If, as has been suggested, the RNC is a top down corporation, you'd expect standardized manuals for the minions to follow for maximum efficiency.

It think there is more to it than you layout here. But you captured the essence.

The GOP horde of zombies are not limited to all the same conspiracy threats. There are massive amounts of wild geese poop across their vast sewers.

It comes from greed, paranoid protection jealousy of what other have and corruption with the powerful wealthy using their financial might to erase that pesky constitution thing where it says, "We the People"

If they have to turn people into zombies and people into coproations dammit. They will spend their money to do it and never make the same mistake that was made to not spend money at it when Hoover was president.

As someone who used to program in Basic as a teenager I fully appreciate this.
