General politics: a speculation on why Republican lawmakers do nothing

Not the conservative and Republican establishment, however. The experts in the rational state have learned that this establishment will accept anything demanded of them to avoid a fight. They will bow down to any interpretation and will tolerate the injustice imposed on their fellow citizens, because they refuse to act politically in a manner that would make it possible to perpetuate their way of life. Those in the conservative establishment accept the intellectual premises of the experts, and have made it clear they would prefer to be ruled rather than lose their economic, social, and political status.

master vs slave morality. the leftist establishment never second guesses themselves, they will justifying anything, lying, cheating, stealing, even murder as for the greater good, with no regard for individual rights. because they are materialists who view everything including life as just emergent properties of the elementary particles. so what if they snuff out a life or a dozen, or maybe several dozens? men women and children, it makes no difference. it's no different philosophically to them, than stomping on an ant or swatting a fly. especially under the current system, they get rewarded with higher positions and salaries for it.

meanwhile the right can't even countenance the idea of not paying tribute to the corrupt regime that imports murderers and drug dealers to kill their children.
