People need to stop this; it’s useless concern tr0lling, at best.
IT DOES NOT MATTER TO HIS BASE WHAT ANYONE WHO DOES NOT SUPPORT 45 THINKS: FULL STOP.
Our mockery doesn’t matter to them… our opinions don’t matter…facts and logic don’t matter… and reality itself DOES NOT MATTER to them. They have gone full-on ‘brainwashed cult’ and basing our words and actions upon how such fanatical zealots might react is a waste of time.
That’s because Trump is impulsive and doesn’t see other people as real. The point is that there’s a president who might torpedo and international peace accord because something made them upset. The fact that it might be upset related to some neurosis doesn’t matter, and it stigmatizes people with similar neuroses to say so.
I have a friend who once expressed to me that they can’t suppress the need to count everything in their environment to see if it’s a multiple of four. That doesn’t mean being unable to count things made them explode in anger, hurt people or make rash life choices, it made them uncomfortable they dealt with that appropriately. I don’t like feeling like they are being compared to Trump.
I agree, its not the neuroses that are concerning, its the coping mechanisms (or rather lack thereof) tied to the neuroses that is worrying.
Calling him a “creepy weirdo” (to my knowledge, the WaPo article didn’t do this) is sensational and highlights the neuroses. Calling him “creepy” is fine by me.
Aren’t happy mutants all weirdos in some way or other?
It’s kind of interesting when the only candidate making sense is the old guy in the room pounding his fist and saying fuck the rich.
We are reaching what I call peak “let them eat cake” and we all know how well that went.
This is Orwellian, dystopian.
How much of an arrogant asshole do need to be to have that much wealth. How do you live with yourself, how do you sleep?
How do you pass homeless people on the streets and not be moved.
This trump appointed idiot Betsy DeVos is a classic example.
BETSY DEVOS HAS 10 BOATS, TWO HELICOPTERS, A YACHT SCHEDULER AND A LAVISH LIFESTYLE YOU CAN’T AFFORD
If get rich on the back of America you should be taxed progressively at some point.
If you don’t at some point the hungry hoard will be at your gate.
There is a museum in Baltimore, The Visionary Arts Museum, that specializes in OCD, outsider and other odd forms of art. I can imagine one day there will a replica of the oval office in there that includes all the weird stuff trump did in there. Tic Tac stacks, bottles of garish make up lined up in the shape of the US Flag, OTC allergy medicine packages neatly stacked in drawers by expiration dates, Presidential staples spelling out Covfefe into the top of the resolute desk and a Buddhist type altar to Ivanka in one corner.
I’m continually tempted to post the photos of fascists hanging in Italy post-WWII on various social media as a reminder to Republicans that some political stories have happy endings, but then I figure it’s not worth the eventual reporting and banning.
