    I disagree, itā€™s important to note that Conservatives love their families, too. They are not inhuman.

    And their love of their family can, for some, feed into their racism. Their families are successful and they may attribute that to genetics. People with inferior genetics canā€™t really help themselves, can they? They need a ruling class to make the important decisions for them.

    Youā€™re right though, if they sue it wonā€™t be to prevent this from happening to anyone else. It will be for revenge and punishment. Profit is a side motive here. They might pour an excessive amount into any lawsuit just for revenge.

      That paragraph about genetics and needing a ruling class because the poor canā€™t help themselves feels so wrong, immoral and like a completely degenerate thing to say that I am tempted to turn the argument around and say that these people need help. Who in there right mind would, seriously, consider something thatā€™s not even the closest thing to being backed by science and logic.

        Who in there right mind would, seriously, consider something thatā€™s not even the closest thing to being backed by science and logic.

        Theyā€™re not interested in science, logic, or anything that goes against their pre-concieved world view, though. They are right because they have the courage of their convictions, and if there are facts or logic that get in the way, well the facts and logic must be wrong!

        Thatā€™s how we get to almost half the country believing in ā€œalternative factsā€, which makes governing this country so hard.
