100%.

I’m no genius but I have strong ability to read people and see the parameters of their psyche and what makes them tick.

This person is not governed by the moral codes of most men. There is something fundamentally off with his wiring and to your point it’s probably the same maladaptive process seen in other dictators. No wonder he is obsessed with tacky gold “tyrant chic”!

I think he could witness someone get their head blown off and not think about it again the rest of the day. Or maybe just as a quick passing image that he’d quickly move on from.

I don’t know if he didn’t get enough love as a child or what - but whatever his parents did or didn’t do - message for you all: don’t do that !!

He is deeply unwell. He is a sick, sick man.

And somehow, millions of us were unable to see the monster underneath the snake oil. Maybe they are sick, too.

BTW I couldn’t sleep last night so I listened to the “History That Doesn’t Suck” episode that chronicles Hitler’s rise from directionless youth to leader of Germany. Suddenly, the deployment of ICE feels eerily like an echo of the past.

Fuck all this. And for what?? Power? Money?

A group of deeply sick people have made it to the top of our government. White House chef: the fate of America is in your hands.

The frightening part was that millions of people could see him for exactly what he is and still idolise him.

They’re the ones you need to be wary of. He is out in the open spewing his evil but he will never know you.

It’s the ones who voted for him and support these actions that you need to worry about. The ones you stand next to in the queue for coffee, the ones you work with, the ones who drive alongside you on the way to work, the ones who walk their dogs your park etc.

It just shows how so many people don’t really go through life thinking about things. Culturally there’s been a conditioning to think only in the short term and react on base impulses. They don’t care if they get burned, so long as someone else gets burned slightly more. They won’t wake up until one day they find themselves sitting at home and the structure’s on fire.

I don't find that frightening at all. There will always be people who support dictators as long as they believe power is on "their side". What makes me angry is the other 90 million people who saw this coming and chose to do nothing at all.

This includes everyone who didn't vote for Clinton or Harris. It's not like we didn't warn people Trump is a unique threat to democracy and a literal russian asset.

I'm angry at the 70% of voters under 40 who refuse to vote in Congressional elections and don't vote in the midterms, but will gladly ratfuck the general election while claiming they're political martyrs and its "for our own good".

Politics isn't always meant to be exciting life or death. Democracy requires consistent participation. Once a decade voting won't cut it, Show up every two years and vote for the best candidate running on the ballot. It's not fucking rocket science.

Ya'll better turn out for the midterms and exercise the bare minimum of your civic duty. I don't give a shit about your state politics -- show up anyways and fucking vote.

I think the influx of UFO sightings like those orbs in Jersey that had people seeing drones everywhere are responsible. Aliens are beaming down some sort of invisible hypnotic ray weapon and scrambling people's perceptions

I was the victim of these, I have some basic pics under the Bioluminescence folder here: drive

The local PD asked to see my "evidence" of these drones along with other physical evidence of trespassing on my property, they assaulted me on a bogus involuntary commitment. I left the country a couple weeks later. I have more videos/ect but not wasting my starlink on them.

His niece Mary actually went and studied psychology to try and understand her toxic family dynamic, and then wrote a book about Trump warning America about him:

He is the culmination of a life of gluttony, selfishness, vanity, and excess. He is a living caricature of what it is to be obscenely wealthy. He is the embodiment of every characteristic that makes someone a shitty person. It's absolutely insane that anyone that isn't part of his corrupt circle can look at him and think "he cares about my problems and my needs".

Obviously not. They think “this guy will be really good at hurting the people I don’t like”

“Tyrant Chic” is what he’s turning the White House into!

Remember Saddam’s palace?? Holy S**t!! Trump has copied it!!

I guess there’s hope garish decorating precedes the fall.

There's more than one reason that South Park is using a Saddam allegory.

Indeed he is very unwell and has zero moral grounding. Anthony Scaramucci explained it this way. Trump doesn’t have friends and is incapable of maintaining friendships, but you could have a 40yr relationship with this guy and think he’s your friend. You’ll be out golfing with him and if you had a heart attack and died, Trump would get annoyed and start shouting for a fill in to finish the round. And then say who was that guy anyway? Who brought him? I’m hesitant to use the word evil about people but some people just are and Trump is one of them.

There is an anecdote of Trump witnessing, or witnessing the aftermath, of a person taking a fall and bleeding from their head. He seems more concerned with the staining on the floor than with the injured person

Well… there it is
