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?

I sort of had both. The father was so easy to deal with later. Mom was tricky. Both evoked anger.
Replying to @marwilliamson
I grew up with both. I think I developed loving but firm against self pity. Not bad really.
