(#6381) Why some are still republican

      The republican party has become synonymous with creatures that have very little to no empathy, despite the contradiction of their good book telling them to love their neighbors. The republican party cherishes the idea that each creatures own personal desires are greater than any harm caused by them. The republican worldview is survival of the fittest even in the modern age of enlightenment and ability to ease suffering. This gunslinger mentality is more idolization than practical but that doesn't stop the republican illusion. Instead of republicans seeing the sun rise and set for all of us they only see the sun rise and set for themselves. The limited boundary of their understanding is easier for them because of their own personal fragilities.
     They mask their fear in bravado hoping no one calls them on their cowardice. It is easier for republicans to bully and strut about as some unfortunate demigod than to actually be of any good service. If no one calls out a republican for their behavior they appear to be somewhat just like normal people, living a normal type life. Yet beneath the surface of their facade is a weakened creature who must always hide their fear of what they are or what they refuse to know about themselves. Instead of embracing the best part of who they are they ignore that and present the false image of angry power. The tunnel vision they live within doesn't allow them the human trait of evolving as person. They negate their progress as beings to firmly settle on the plateau of disingenuousness.
     Those of us who are not republican have already fought the battle of unknowing and have reconciled our victory. We prefer to know who we are so as to evolve into more complete and better people. We learn and debate new concepts as they become known not as a product of fear but as a product of wise growth. We democrats are the bold ones who liken to the good Samaritan. We democrats are the ones who stand tall and fight with noble conviction. Because we democrats understand the purpose of life given our information and knowledge. We human beings are a species of amazing and superlative possibilities. We democrats are not permanently resting in an incomplete journey because we are unable to go forward. We are always going forward as a rule and when rest does occasionally come we appreciate it with all our being.
