Fragile

The right wing uses blunt force trauma with no subtlety because they lack it. You won't find many intellectuals within its ranks because thinking things over to improve life quality for the most people doesn't form part of the game plan. 

Once they've applied a wrecking ball to everything the adults need to come into the room later and clean up their mess. History repeatedly bears this out.

Jefferson said that you get the government you deserve which doesn't sound very comforting but he wasn't wrong. Democracy as imperfect and messy as it is makes for a fragile thing. Even in its healthy state it is chock full of injustice. 

Sometimes you need to destroy what you once had (imperfect as it was) to finally learn your lesson.
