He’s not making ME insane. He’s insane. His cult is insane. Me? I’m pissed off.
They are a brainwashed cult. That is the 32 percent. Right wing media broke these people. Right wing grifters in churches broke these people.
We are far beyond political differences. We are deep into moral differences. You cannot have a sensible exchange with people who think concentration camps are okay.
I teach at an agricultural college, and I’m used to staying away from politics in my classes because I don’t want to be disappointed. Yesterday, my class organically started talking about Trump and corruption, and it wasn’t even tariffs that set it off: it was cuts to National Parks. One student even mentioned that you could take one day in Iran or one shady crypto deal and keep the park system funded. That stark contrast, between our parks languishing while he does…whatever it is he is doing, landed with my room of 20 farm kids. Heartening
If he had 10% approval it would still be an insane amount of approval, the dude has done everything in his Power to destroy America.
As a trans person, I wish more than anything that people would just stop focusing on my identity. I might be trans, but it’s only a small fraction of who I am and how I live my life—which is none of anyone’s business. Nor are other people’s opinions about my life any of my business.
How do you find middle ground with people who don’t accept facts?
It’s not a political divide. It’s a moral and reality/truth divide.
My elderly mother (forever Republican and now newly Christian nationalist) told her daughter, newly diagnosed with cancer and terrified about her health and how to pay for insurance and her treatment, that she got cancer again because she doesn’t believe in god. There are some political arguments that cut so deep they’re fatal.
Jessica Tarlov is a genuine hero in the current climate. There are a handful of journos etc who deserved to be remembered for standing up in this darkness and she is one of them.
