All because a black man became president in 2008, and broke the minds of almost everyone on the right.

But composure, for sure.

I think the radical right already had their minds broken and made up - 2008 just gave them the right excuse to unleash their broken logic on a mass of susceptible folks who were pre-prepared by a generation of far-right propaganda broadcast by FOX and their "Friends".

He just hates the ones who need assistance from the government to feed their families, the ones who aren't white, the ones who are LGBTQ, the ones who are smarter than him, the ones that disagree with him for any reason whatsoever, the ones who dare to protest his authoritarian regime, the ones who can see what a fake and a loser he is... okay, so that's a LOT of Americans, but it's not every single one!

And all of his lackeys.

He doesn't respect them, he uses them.
He despises how weak they are.

He has a short lived liking for other powerful dictators.
It fulfills his fantasy that he can be one of them.
But he doesn't like or love them in an adult way.

And I agree he sees people as something to use if possible. But I think he's indifferent to people as individuals to a great extent. Other humans and their needs and desires are no more important t him than stage props or pieces of furniture, imo. But I'm not sure he can be bothered to actively hate someone until they get between him and something he wants. When that happens, watch out!

But he will despise anyone who crosses him, disagrees with him, criticizes him, questions him, or does not comply
with his every whim. Or anyone who does not tolerate his abuse.

He dislikes his own base whom he sees as stupid, suckers, losers.

It is all transactional.
And all about him.

There is no love, liking, respect, caring, compassion, support, etc.

People are just props in the movie that runs in his head.
He is the only one who counts, the star.
And people are only useful in terms of what they can do for him.

This is a classic narcissist and psychopath.
And now he has dementia on top of it all.
And I assume he is still a drug addict.

This is a man who should not hold any position of responsibility.

He is a very sick and evil man who is being protected by billionaires, the GOP, and much of
our media.

Frankly, isn't that the only thing we need?

Obviously, that will solve all our problems.

And it can likely be paid for by using the funds from SNAP.

[excerpt...]In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Bessent said that the administration would not appeal the court ruling, while adding that finding the funds to pay SNAP benefits by Wednesday “could be” done....


The appeal just proves how hellbent they are to starve people.
