Democrats are Fun Suckers, Republicans are Mean
It was the comedian and sometimes political comenator that once P.J O’Rouke who described the Democratic Party as being a “Bunch of Fun Suckers”. Democrats generally advocate policies that are anti-fun, usually to save small children or the whales. They want new restrictions on what people can do — how fast they can drive, how much they can drink, and even more odiously, what they can drive, or what they can eat.
In contrast are the Republicans. Most good Republicans don’t really care what you eat or drive, or how fast you drive, or if you drink and drive. That said, Republicans are what Mario Cuomo once called the “Big Mean”. They are big and mean to people. They’re anti-welfare, and generally against people who are working class folks. They don’t like taxes, especially if they hit the rich, but watch out working folks, as they probably don’t care that much for you either.
The reality is neither party offers wonderful options. You get to choose between screwed by left or the right. You end up chosing the best of two bad options.

Unless you want basic bodily autonomy, then reverse all that I guess.
The people of this country deserve everything that’s coming to them.
“The monkeys stand for honesty
Giraffes are insincere
And the elephants are kindly but they’re dumb
Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum”
