Precisely! And sometimes I wonder if we don't act just like them too: loyal to a fault. But how can we clean our own house without destroying it?
Can't; &, they'll destroy anyone who tries.
What'd be infinitely easier (and make a lot more sense) would be for those who feel betrayed to do something totally innovative, completely unsuspected.

Well maybe it is, at that.
While it's no less crazy believing (& blindly supporting) a "conservative party" who's purporting to be advancing conservative ideals when in fact their own actions indicate they're doing anything but.
I think a (damned) good argument could be made to classify people who'd support such a position, too.
