President Donald Trump isn’t attending the dignified transfer of four American soldiers who died in Lithuania, because he has instead chosen to attend a Saudi-backed golf tournament at his country club in Doral, Florida.
Is it wrong that I am less infuriated by this than I am by the fact people still worship this idiot?
At this point, I am exhausted with being outraged by him. I cannot hate him more than I already do. Doing more evil shit may actually make me hate him less, because I simply cannot keep up to date with all the new reasons to hate him. But I cannot comprehend how millions of people can function in the world while still behaving like everything he does is objectively right. Not even the truly repulsive, monstrous shit, but the petty, insufferable bullshit like this. How do you excuse it? It do not comprehend how anyone can look at this and say, “Yeah, this guy should have nigh-unlimited power over the country and the ability to throw the world into chaos with a Tweet.”
Months back somebody on here described it in a simple two-word way that has stuck with me. Dumb and mean.
Many conservatives are just dumb and mean, and that is a nasty combination.
That’s not a perfect generalization, of course. Some are nice people who are profoundly ignorant and misled. Some are smart sociopaths. But it just fits too well for me to ignore.
I think it is important to laugh at the funny demonstrative shit because if you keep getting outraged for every unimportant thing that is done like the Gulf of America thing you’re not heard when outraging for actual things that matter like deporting people or silencing opposition
Agreed.
