    “She did not jump a wall, she did not swim a river,” he said. “She came in Trump’s beautiful, big front door.” His wife got illegally arrested and detained and he’s still talking like a fucking retard.

    I never thought that it was so easy to take freedom from anyone,” she said. Mr. Jindra, too, was nervous. “We are living in fear in my own country,” he said.

    That isn’t exactly how it went down though, Brent. You had ample warning, but insisted on not thinking.

    And now your wife is having the life that you could not be stopped from voting for.

    Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

      It is quite remarkable how someone in the US can be so illiterate and yet still make enough money to support two adults and buy luxury/designer items for the wife.

    You know what?

    Good. If that’s what it takes for him to understand that he’s a shitgoblin for voting for this, well… that’s what it takes.

        I don’t feel that bad for those women. Like you might have felt bad for Erika Kirk having to be attached to Chuck and the you realized that she was there by choice and is also shitty. Men who vote for Trump need to be lonely.

          In her first interview, Erika Kirk came out and said “The hardest thing for me is going to bed and him not being there”

          And I felt genuine sympathy and pity for her, I know what loss feels like.

          The interviewer asked about losing sleep, and her face completely changed and she said “oh the Lord lets me sleep all right”.

          And my sympathy evaporated.

              Lord Xanex, who art in the clouds,
              Hallowed be thy Name.
              Thy link pull through,
              Thy chill come to,
              On earth as it is in the clouds.
              Give us this day our daily high
              And give us our floaty feelings
              As we forget those who trespass against us.
              And lead us not into anxiety
              But deliver us from worries

    Only until it affects them do they realize rights are for everyone. Bit by bit, things will turn, but boy is it taking a long time.

        They’re sick, and I don’t think there’s an easy cure. And that fuck pusing up Daisys won’t be a cure, just subside symptoms for a little bit.

          Yeah, just like his counterpart in Russia, Trump’s only a symptom. The real sickness is right wing conservatism, and they’re literally going to kill us all if they have their way with climate denialism.

          These people need to all be treated as existential threats. The vast, vast majority of them can’t be fixed.

        So you see, the upper echelon want us fighting with ourselves. The more you feed into it, the more you play into their hands.

        Yes, you will never have the same views as those folks, but don’t take your eye off the ball. A fragmented population is much easier to control.

        I’m not saying fully forgive or that you’ll be best friends, but it’s your countryman. Unite against the real enemy.

          Education is the only long term answer. RWA personality disorder is a genetic predisposition, but the brainwashing that turned these people into self-destructive fanatics, utterly subjugated by the drum of fear, anger, and hate, is frustrated directly by all forms of education, since lack of it is what the brainwashing exploits, directly.

          Unfortunately, once they have breached that gap and filled the fanatic’s mind with corrupted worldviews over decades, that represents a complete education of fear, anger, and hate, and their personality becomes so entangled with the corruption that little of who they once were or could be remains any longer.

          To escape that cult and become a former fanatic while possible requires intervention from loved ones, assuming any remain who they haven’t alienated, followed by a long personal journey to excise all the fear anger and hate, salvaging whatever uninfected shreds of their former self might remain, and growing anew.

          But that is a best case scenario. Most of these fanatics will remain as a cancer among us until they die.

          They’re not “my countrymen”, I’m European. The US has made it extremely clear that they’re an enemy now, and I have absolutely zero empathy for stupid fucks like these who helped bring the Trump regime into power.

    Despite all the warnings and history, somehow.

    The problem is that even if it turns on many of them personally, it still won’t stop them for voting for the same policies next time.

    They are like Wiley Coyote. No matter how many times they fail, they just assume they can overcome the error next time.
