In an online forum I regularly visit, People have been discussing today's elections. In a thread labeled "If you are voting Republican this election, one simple question - Why?" there was a particularly salient response.

Subject: doing the same thing and something different happens

when I was fifteen I kept beating off one day, like six times in a row. the sixth time some blood came out, and that was different. so maybe voting republican is like beating off six times in a row.

Thus endeth the lesson.
