I still can't fucking believe that this verbally incontinent, senile, silver-spoon-deep-throating, walrus-looking, absolute shitbag is the guy we're fucking up the entire system and body of law to protect, and 50% of the nation is seeing all of this and thinking, "yep, that's my president." It's fucking incredible that a Burger King can operate with our per capita of knuckle-draggers, let alone a country.

It’s really an antisocial thing. They want the world in flames so that their own pain burns away.

I also think the root is pain, misery, trauma. They choose to hide it, but most importantly blame it on everyone but themselves. They choose the cult to be surrounded by enablers. No need for them to face the truth anymore.

There is a person down the street flying a Trump flag.

I hope they get pancreatic cancer. I hope all Trump voters get pancreatic cancer. If they did I might join a religion because it would be a sign of a benevolent god existing.

I don't know. I'm not sure that benevolence would include killing people for being stupid and wrong.

I feel that a benevolent god, instead, would ensure that stupid and wrong people were rare, and didn't harm society with their stupidity.

Why do you think they got rid of the salad bar?

It seems that many humans place worshipping someone who has power and status over making the lives of themselves and others better.

As long as that person will harm the groups they are bigoted against.
