The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: ‘I am sorry, but I couldn't help myself. It's my character.’”

And yet rather than act on political pragmatism and modify their extreme positions, they hold to them anyway, even to their own detriment.
