The angels in america beach scene is still to this day the most devastating critique of the Republican Party that has ever been written, said, or thought.

"there's a genuine violence in softness and weakness and sometimes self-interested is the most generous thing you can be. You oughta think about that. You oughta think about what you're doing to me. I mean... think about what you need. Be brave. And then you'll come back to me."

seriously though, he summed up 50+ years of the Republican party, down to the present day, in one scene. A genius. Do what is right for you. Be brave, defy morality, be selfish, give into power, don't be ethical, be happy. And then you'll come back to me.

and then when he beats the shit out of Louis. At the end of day it is power. At the end of the day it is always power. Whether not you intend to exercise the power it is the knowledge that you have the power, which is what privilege is, which is what Republicans are.

He never hit anyone before but if it ever got bad enough, painful enough, brutal enough, he always could.

but then, that is in a way the consummation of Louis and Joe, because Joe needs to have his essential violence revealed to himself, and Louis needs to be punished. It is just... so many layers deep. Flawless doesn't begin to cover it.
