The Republican party is like a father who’s whipping you with a belt & the Democratic Party like a mother who’s so upset about it and she’s going to smother you with kisses & give you milk & cookies when the whipping is over. Which one do you think you’d grow up to be angrier at?

Marianne. In your analogy, the mom's holding the belt...

So in the end the mother is complicit is cementing a mental state where one accepts an abusive relationship with ice cream. That explains our economy and so much more. My dad used treats to apologize after he lost his shit, partly due to him being an addict as they love sweets

Why is mom starving Cuban children with the embargo?

Actually both because the less evil is doing nothing to stop the greater evil. Each has equal blame. Imo.

Mother is giving you cookies and milk or slapping you in the face - she seesaws between those two poles - father with belt is consistent at least - you know what to prepare for - how about we transcend both?

Why doesn’t mom bother to try and stop dad from whipping us? Might be better than cookies. Just a thought…
