Question; why have repubs become so emotional?

[Miigwech]

The repub party, had always touted itself as the party of facts, intellect and scholarly knowledge. AKA,the 'elites,' 'daddy Party." Now they are so emotionally driven? What's up with that? Seeing all the magats getting so emotional about everything, makes me lol. Wimps.

1. Because they lost their f*cking minds the day we elected a black man as POTUS. n/t

4. They're not used to not getting their way.

My ex-wife was like this. She was always pleasant as long as she got her way. If I ever said she couldn't have something she wanted, however (usually because it cost a lot more than our budget could absorb), then she threw a tantrum worthy of a two-year-old.

Having control of both house of Congress and the presidency for so long has spoiled them. They're used to getting their way, and the Democrats have put the kibash on that. Poor snowflakes.

As far as his Orangeness goes, I think the Brits had the right idea:

5. Also, bluster is a typical defense when your lies are exposed

So republicans go ballistic in an effort to deflect from their lies. Works for them a lot of the time. A truly satanic strategy, which I think makes it all the more appealing for a morally corrupt political party which does not live according to the precepts of the faith they falsely claim to follow.

6. To some extent, they never really were unemotional -

They're emotions have always tended toward been fear, anger, and hate.

Ours tend more to love and joy. Not always, but generally.

More of them used to be able to bottle them up, I guess, but, yeah, I think they've always been emotional.

7. What happens if that dissonance is not relieved?

Symptoms we are seeing.
