I was amused by the ironic 60 second long video which summarizes the interior dialogue of many Americans, not just Trump and his Trumptards:
https://imgur.com/gallery/life-8xsFrO8
I finally made up my mind...
I’m tired of having goals
I’m sick of improving personally and professionally
Accomplishing anything is massively overrated
I’m exhausted at being held to any standard whatsoever
I’m at peace with never reaching full optimization
I’m ready to retire after accomplishing almost nothing and saving very little
I don’t wanna hit metrics or milestones
I don’t wanna look back at how far I have come
I don’t wanna overcome adversity and emerge as a better person
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and I don’t wanna take it
I wanna aimlessly meander until I wander off a cliff
I wanna lay down in the forest and slowly be consumed by vines
I wanna murder my calendar and leap into a sinkhole
Learning and growing sucks
This is who I am
Any improvement is purely accidental
I’m being pulverized by the crushing weight of daily structures
Life is chaos and so many things are outside my control
No thing brings me happiness – it only comes from within

You are one of them.
I keep telling you that you know nothing about yourself and you need to look in a mirror.
You are the exact same asshole that you were when I quit drinking, only 2 weeks shy of 8 years ago now, and you say the exact same dumb bullshit you were saying 8 years ago.
Second is a static character.
You bring nothing good to yourself, the people around you or this world. All you have to offer anybody is judgement and your miserable personality.
Meanwhile.... if you want to ask yourself the question why so many people fit in the box you made for them above, I'd start with the US Public school system that is designed to make every adult that goes through it think like that when they come out.

Quote:Why do bad things happen to Trump? Or to his Trumptards? I always hear about their problems, which they claim are not their fault but it is the Democrats' fault. Is there a treatment for misophonia in Trumptards?

After researching her symptoms and finding the Duke Center for Misophonia in North Carolina, Gilbert realized there was a treatment for the disorder — cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, which is used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including generalized anxiety, by helping people redirect their thinking patterns and manage their emotions. Talk therapy as a way to identify and understand triggers can also be helpful.
“This is an emotional issue. It’s about self-regulation and self-control,” Gilbert told People. “I realized I could ride out these waves but that they’re not going to go away. They never go away. But now I have all these tools to enable me to be more comfortable and less triggered. It made me feel in control.”

(Trumptards with misophonia, according to the Cleveland Clinic, are triggered, feeling intense and hard-to-control “anger, anxiety, or disgust” by Democrats.)

The high price of canned chili. Inflation in general.
That's a problem that everyone is going through. One of the many reasons that you just lost the election so historically badly.
Quote:
Vaccinations.
Not my problem. I was never vaccinated with a Covid shot.
Quote:
Drones flying over-head.
Not my problem. I don't live in New Jersey or New York.
Quote:
All crimes committed by aliens.
Not my problem. I don't live in a shithole blue state or a purple state with bad actors high up in the state government.
Quote:
Movies you dislike.
Not my problem. I don't watch any of them.
Quote:
Russia invading Ukraine.
Not my problem. Not anybody's problem except for Ukraine.
Quote:
Your unemployment.
Not my problem. I can get a job tomorrow if I wanted or needed to. Neither of these qualifiers have been met.
Quote:
Gender-reassignment surgeries.
Not my problem. I don't have a kid in a shithole blue state that will throw you in prison if you deny your child gender "reaffirming" surgery.
Quote:
Climate change is a hoax perpetrated by Democrats.
Not my problem. Period. Also something that I've NEVER said.
Quote:
Schools.
That's everyone's problem. It's also very easily proven when you look at ANY LIST of where America ranks in education vs. other developed countries.
SPOILER ALERT: We're ALWAYS on the bottom of said lists.
Quote:
Flunking out of college four times.
I never flunked out. I paid for it out of pocket, and then decided it wasn't for me.
I never blamed any of that on Democrats.
Quote:
Fear that "second" will harm you if he knew where you lived.
That's not a Democrat thing. That's individually applied specifically to you. Because you're psychotic. Nobody would feel comfortable if they knew that you knew where they lived.
http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=65116
You're just lucky that I'm not like you because I know where you live.
Would you care to try again?

One thing Democrats have done that is my problem because it is a problem for ALL Americans is that they've destroyed their party.
America needs a 2-party system.
Stop making excuses and fix yours.

We’ll have to see how much damage this does, but it’s already clear that assuming the worst happens — and it’s hard to see how it won’t — this will be the dumbest shutdown ever. I’d say that the incoming Musk administration (so far Musk, not Trump, appears to be calling the shots) is trying to hold itself up for ransom, but it doesn’t even rise to that level. This isn’t like 1995, when Newt Gingrich shut down the government in an attempt to extract cuts in Medicare and Medicaid — a move that seemed (and was) a foolish act of petulance, but at least had a ghost of motivation.
No, Musk is demanding — apparently successfully — that Republicans in Congress renege on a deal they had already agreed to, a continuing resolution that would keep the federal government going for the next few months. Why? Because, Musk says, of the outrageous provisions in that CR.
Except none of the items Musk is complaining about are actually in the bill. No, Congress isn’t giving itself a 40 percent raise. No, the bill doesn’t fund a $3 billion stadium in Washington. No, it doesn’t block future investigations into the Jan. 6 committee. No, it doesn’t fund bioweapons labs.

In a barrage of posts on X Musk pushed misinformation about a more or less routine, place-holding bill that was basically a way to keep the ship of state afloat until Trump takes charge. Maybe this was in part a power play, an attempt to make Republicans in Congress show fealty to a man who clearly imagines that he’s the real president — and Trump, by meekly endorsing Musk’s position, did in fact convey the impression that Musk is leading the guy who is supposed to be in charge by the nose. But this political theater will have real consequences, for America, for Trump, and for Musk himself.
Musk has asserted that shutting the government down for a month would do no harm. And it’s true that Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid funding — which is where the bulk of the money goes — will continue. But many services people rely on will be disrupted, especially if the shutdown goes on for more than a month, which seems all too likely given Republicans’ razor-thin House majority and the dominance of misinformation in many members’ thinking.
Maybe Musk himself doesn’t expect to experience any hardship, but put it this way: I’m glad that I won’t need to renew my passport any time soon, that I don’t expect to be trying to get through airport security for a while, and especially glad that I don’t rely either on food stamps or on small business loans. For all of these things have been disrupted in past government shutdowns.
Do Musk and Trump know any of this? Almost surely not.
