Trump humiliates everyone behind closed doors. Most of all, himself. And also with open doors. And stairs, and windows, and on the roof.

Trump is humiliation personified.

Where was my assumption, friend?

Was it not a right wing org, or did they not defraud people? Because both were made pretty clear in the article.

Point to where my comment touched you.

Okay. Sure, my entire life on this planet and all of my lived experience is ‘culture wars’.

Believe what you like, I’ll not stop you.

This isn’t ‘culture wars’ – whatever that even means here. It’s me talking to you. Being reductionist only makes you seem pithy, which is actually rather sad.

We’re probably done here, if you can’t even have a conversation without resorting to catch phrases.

Honestly, this is why when people say ‘do you need the /s tag, you baby?’ I’m like ‘Yes!’

People are dense and say shit like that unironically. It was hard enough back when all we had to contend with was the normal amount of sarcasm not translating well to text. Now we also have to deal with emboldened idiots who think their fascism is okay.

How the fuck are we supposed to tell the difference now?

It will never stop being funny that republicans were super excited about The Boys until that season, and then got butthurt when ‘the message changed’, suddenly saying Homelander was warping superman’s legacy and had gone woke and whatnot.

Like, he was clearly a fascist from minute 1, but once Stormfront made it inescapably obvious, even to their tiny minds, the whole series had changed.

Watching that play out was one of the highlights of the past 10 years.

No one gives a fuck that youre a woman.

Bullshit.

You don’t, but you’re not everyone.

A massive part of understanding the world is understanding that you’re not everyone. My entire career has been to understand other people, and step 1 is to realise that you are not everyone. It’s very counterintuitive for most of us, but also very necessary if you hope to understand things.

I am not everyone, and I am not speaking for myself here. If the world were me, I’d 100% say AOC could win. I’d fucking love that.

But I am not the world.

It’s the human way of things.

DNC or not, even if they were as perfect as you’d like them to be, trying to unite people on the left is like herding cats.

Have you tried having discussions with multiple people on the left? I’ll bet you have, and I’ll bet you’ve been frustrated.

The problem with any of left of centre is that we believe in things and aren’t a flock of sheep. That’s good, but also politically very bad for us.

They have their genitals deep in Israel.

I’m not joking, and thanks.

Yeah, in the same way a cut allows you to get a staph infection.

But a hangnail or certain kinds of sex at a bad time can do that, too.

Trump is just the method of delivery. Staph was always there, waiting for an opportunity.

I legitimately do.

Lol no. I’m old enough to not care about Harris’s minuscule blip on the political landscape, and to understand far larger social trends than that.

The fact you think this is about Harris of all the decades of social trends makes it clear you have no idea what I mean, and maybe you should take a moment to learn some things before writing such a diatribe.

In fact, I’m pretty sure you’re precisely the type who, when trump dies, will think everything has gone back to normal. I hope I’m wrong about that, because this whole thing is far larger and plays out over a far longer time scale than you think. Please prove me wrong.
