Like I said Jim, don't feel bad. Republicanism these days
is just an empty feelsgood left-over bad habit. Pity, when
citizens, us, we, should instead be running the nation,
*DOING GOOD THINGS.*

When ya think about it, that really is a sad thing.
...a nation paralyzed by that kind of empty feelsgoodism
and freelunchism. ...the founder's had nightmares
about that you know, cuz those were the main arguments
against democracy. The fonder's replied, no American's
ain't like that. But they did express their doubts.
Especially Ben Franklin.

Like I said, don't feel bad.

How does that feel Jim? ...Being a contributor to the
ruination of America? Being a mindless, impotent rah-rah
American, a tool? Is the feelsgoodism really that sweet?

Reminds me of a friend I lost to drugs. It's sad.
