I'm incredulous when it comes to America's refusal to admit that Trump is motivated by causing others to suffer

[Miles Archer]

I say this on largely a daily basis here, but...

"At the center of Trump's "REVENGE TOUR" is an obsession with making as many Americans as possible suffer for electing Biden in 2020."

I've read a LOT of "tinfoil hat" theories in my time and THAT AIN'T ONE OF THEM.

When he was a POS little Richie Rich kid, he THREW ROCKS AT A TODDLER.

And every time he bends America over to plow its north 40, the media feigns shock.

1. Many Americans cannot face the ugly reality in front of them.

Or many Americans love the ugliness and brutality.

4. Yeah...I hate to admit it, but I think that sums it up

I have never been a Lee Greenwood Jingoistic "God Bless The USA" kind of guy.

But I DO love America. Why wouldn't I? I was born here, and have lived here all my life.

But I do not respect "denial" or "apathy" in ANY form.

Nor do I respect any who are cheering Trump on.

And, as we both know, DU consists of people who refuse to sign up for either of those two extremes.

It gives me hope, but I'll be damned if I know what it will take to change the people I flagged above.

I think people will have to feel pain DIRECTLY...not some white dude watching Fox and seeing a brown person deported.

FARMERS are in the news. Maybe a FARMER needs to lose a family farm that's been in the family for generations.

And the second, and most important half of that is they NEED TO KNOW THE PAIN WAS CAUSED BY TRUMP.

REPUBLICANS...ESPECIALLY that mascara nightmare VANCE...love to parrot "THE FAILED POLICIES OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION."

We're a YEAR into Trump's "presidency" and they are STILL banging that drum.

We're at a WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE CROSSROADS.

Get hurt, PERSONALLY, and acknowledge that TRUMP is the one who hurt you.

Honest to God, I do not see ANY other way out of this for the apathetic and gleeful.

2. People who've suffered narcissistic abuse get it

And many, many have

If Trump actually stays alive and/or coherent for the next 3 years, more and more people are going to make the connection

He's a giant walking trigger at this stage

10. Had a boss once...

...she was CONVINCED that when our company got a new president, she was going to be promoted from Director to Vice President, reporting directly to him.

He kept her as a Director and had her report to the guy in charge of FACILITIES.

A major broadside to her ego.

Made EVERYONE'S lives miserable after that.

Blew up at ME one day soon after and fired me on the spot,' "two weeks notice."

Problem is, in that company, there was a policy to issue a series of verbal and written warnings before terminations.

So she went down to H.R. and told them to write one and BACK DATE IT.

At this point I was sick of her and in no mood for a fight. Leaving was a blessing.

But yeah...I have been on that "receiving end."

12. That brought up an old memory for me

Brand new supervisor at Boeing Wichita fired me on the spot for asking him a question, surprise surprise,
our General Manager happened to be within ear range, came over and chewed his ass out.

3. That's why Trump's followers voted for him: to make others suffer.

It's no secret, they'll proudly admit it.

[KS Toronado]

13. Yep, they have to "own the libs"

Have often wondered if FQX noise somehow programed their viewers to be that way?

[Hotler]

5. The orange convict is motiivated by the rascism, cruelty and hate of his voters towards the rest of us.

The orange one is a reflection of his voters. He's their tool to spread their hate.

6. If he was a school boy today, he would be put into a special program for mentally unstable kids.

When his parents gave up trying to control his temper, he was sent off to a military school. Keep that in mind as we watch how he corrupts military discipline and legal order.

He once ordered a cadet to be whacked on the backside with a broomstick for performing a drill badly. On inspection duty, he found an unmade bed and hurled the sheets on the floor. Its incensed owner, Ted Levine, recalls hitting Trump with a broom, whereupon furious Donald tried to push him out of a second-floor window before they were separated by other cadets. Trump, Mr Levine recalls, would threaten to ‘break’ anyone who defied him.

That was attempted murder, in a fit of rage at being humiliated.

14. Wonder how many Rs will buy and read that book?

Doesn't paint a pretty picture of him.

[chouchou]

7. It's easy. People who voted for Trump ARE Trump.

[bucolic_frolic]

8. I don't think that's an accurate take on it. Narcissists don't know others have feelings.

It's about NYC Teutonic privilege, power, entitlement. He does it because he can and believes he's better than everyone else. So there!!

[Torchlight]

9. I used to think he was simply a power-mad little clown

But I've upgraded that to Cruel and Power-Mad Little Clown with Soft Pink Hands.
