  • I’m not sure how anybody could have respect for someone, like Ellis, who was so completely illiterate to not be able to read the incredibly obvious writing on the wall. Trump didn’t morph into a malignant narcissist. That’s always been who he was. Hell - it’s been his brand for as long as he’s been in the public eye. To think that a malignant narcissist would choose to be grateful to you or treat you like a person and not a means to an end is the very height of hubris. Stupid, blind hubris.











  • It’s funny to consider “love of country” to mean “the food, certain people, and beautiful landmarks”, while simultaneously condemning the actions of its government, and like half of the citizens who live there.

    Not that I’m criticizing, mind. I struggled with this myself for a long time before finally coming to the realization that this country is like a problematic family. You’re told that you should love it even if you don’t like lots of aspects of it very much. Like an abusive parent.

    I’m in my 40s now, and I’ve finally realized that that’s bullshit. I don’t love this country. I used to, but I’ve realized that I only ever loved the idea of this country while the reality has been a profound disappointment.

    The barbecue is good, though. So that’s nice.
