Republicons seem to think that they can get their way by resorting to force in every case, but unless you plan to kill every single person in the world, it’ll never work.  You can make people fear you, it’s true. But that only works for as long as it takes for the fearful to grow fangs.  Even a passive animal will bite when it’s hurt too much. 

It’s not a sign of weakness to talk and negotiatiate with those you’re opposed to.  It’s the grown-up and responsible thing to do.  Which is exactly why the Republicons refuse to do it.

Excellent assessment as always, my dear!
