People like Kid are so corrupt in so many ways that they cannot imagine how a person could get through life without being at least mostly corrupt. If that is really happening, if people like Carter, Obama, and Biden are real, it implies that crooked right-wingers, like the aforementioned worm, Kid, are getting things very very wrong in their personal and political lives. If you are as mentally weak as Kid, that fact does not bear thinking about.
Chastity, poverty, and obedience are the best bets for villains like Kid to avoid eternity swimming in a fiery lake. Immense and constant social and political pressure can contain the villainy of horrid little fucks like Kid while they still shuffle about on our living earth spreading filth and evil.
