These Cons are always whining about self reliance and independence but they never miss an opportunity to brown-nose their Fearless Leader. We're watching all the stereotypes surface here, the sycophant, the toady, the corporate yes-man. I guess authoritarianism is a two-way street. You need the sniveling, shuffling, hat-in-hand, forelock-tugging stepinfetchit as well as the bloated strutting bully to make it work.

From the first cigarette to your last dying day."
