• Cuando uno se convierte en liberal, finge abogar por la tolerancia, la igualdad y la paz, pero resulta hilarante que lo haga por razones puramente egoístas. Es el equivalente humano de la cara de cachorro de perro: una herramienta evolutiva diseñada para mejorar la supervivencia, el valor reproductivo y el estatus. En resumen, el liberalismo se basa en un deseo central: parecer guay ante los demás para conseguir amor. Predicar la tolerancia te hace parecer más guay que decir algo como 'por favor, bájame los impuestos'.
