Of course, the ACTUAL punchline to this story being...
With the train's warning horn honking again and again, the Republican finally did have the brains to step out of the car. Why? Because a fucking train was bearing down on them and he realized it was the only sane thing to do.
Meanwhile, the Democrat continued to just sit in the car because he felt the car breaking down wasn't his fault. Even though this was the car HE examined on the lot and HE picked to drive and even though HE was the one driving it.
So, true to his political beliefs and even with a goddamn freight train bearing down on him -- its warning horn STILL repeatedly blowing -- the Democrat was more than willing to sit there, arms folded across his chest like a spoiled child having a temper tantrum, till somebody ELSE came along and GAVE him a new car
or till somebody ELSE came along and THEY PAID for repairing his car
or till somebody ELSE came along and got behind his car and using THEIR sweat and effort pushed him out of the way -- all while he continued to sit comfortably in the car, putting in no effort at all on his part.
Because in the end, why should the Democrat have the simple common sense to open the car door and get out himself when he can get somebody else to do it for him?
