91. Why is it ALWAYS RWers who start shit in public?

Mon May 8, 2017, 08:36 PM

May 2017

They open their yaps FIRST every time, usually to someone who isn't white/Christian. They have no filter, or capacity to feel or imagine what another person might be experiencing when they start in with their shit. They are just compelled to rage away, no matter how nutty and intrusive (and blatently racist) their comments are. I've lost count of the number of videos and news blurbs I've absorbed about Trump voters who go after food servers, students, women (anywhere), peaceful demonstrators, etc. with everything from foul mouths to loaded weapons.

Engaging strangers in a confrontational or threatening manner and blathering paranoid, xenophobic streams of consciousness used to be hallmarks of insanity. The only people who did that were emotionally imbalanced and needed psychiatric help.

But now? They form the base of a major political party. And those party members like to repeat (ad nauseam) that "liberalism is a mental disorder"-- they even project their craziness onto others.
