What they can’t explain, to me or anyone else, what it is that they’re “not going to take anymore.”
Are they going to not take their white privilege? Are they not going to take the government handouts that they take in prodigious amounts? Are they not going to take their own insistence that they are superior to all the minorities, gays and women who have proved for generations that they are, if anything, superior to these ignorant, selfish, spoiled, self-pitying buffoons?
I just with they were smart enough to articulate their rage. Of course, this would be hard even for smart people, because there is only one thing that motivates all this rage — the subconscious realization that they are not übermensch but untermensch, that they are if anything inferior to the people they insult and despise.
The rage comes from the cognitive dissonance — their conscious self claims superiority when the unconscious self knows the opposite to be true.
Exactly. The idea that these traitors could take time off work, book airline tickets and hotels rooms, hang out at the hotel bars and sip bourbon after they murdered Capitol Police puts the lie to the notion that they are, in any way, oppressed.
I like the way he says “they wanna fucking ruin my life.” This, please note, from the party that preaches “personal responsibility.”
No, son, you ruined your own life. Own up to it.
That’s an interesting read. What I found most fascinating is Trump’s constant evocation of “fighting,” when it’s pretty clear this coward has never been in a real fight in his pampered life. If he had, somebody would have knocked a few teeth out of his perpetually open mouth.
