“Y’know, the GOP could kill everyone who votes Democrat. And the Dems in charge, they’d do nothin’ but yawn and continue playing Candy Crush on their phones.”
“What have you got against Candy Crush?”
“Nothin’.”
“Then why—”
“Any game. The Oregon Trail, whatever. Y’wanna know why the Dems in charge wouldn’t care if their base got wiped out?”
“Sure.”
“Because they don’t care about nothin’ except keeping the rich happy.”
“Just like the Republicans, yeah yeah, I get it.”
“No you don’t. The Republicans don’t even pretend to like you. The Democrats, they gotta pretend, ’cause that’s their brand.”
“Then that makes you a super-Republican, ’cause you hate everyone.”
“No. I hate everyone ’cause I have a brain. That’s my brand.”
