Do these people think real life is a fucking game? At this point I'm convinced repoblicans are delusional

...because they are?

That's the result of being rich and not knowing what consequences are.

Imaging touching a hot plate and not burning yourself. What incentive would there be to not touch that plate?

No, you touch the hot plate and someone else gets burnt.

When you have enough money and power to avoid experiencing the vast majority of consequences of your actions, then life does become a game for the vast majority of the time.

The reluctance of governments to take action against the rich and powerful just feeds their delusions further.

Do these people think real life is a fucking game?

Yes. And that they have to 'win'. And that the consequences for other people 'don't matter'.

Well if it wasn’t there would be consequences for this shit. As far as their concerned it’s all just theater until there’s a judge involved. And let’s be honest here. They’re basically right at this point.
