“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said.
"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly.
“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”
“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said.
“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.”
Watch Here:
I mean that’s a reasonable superficial analysis and you can probably get through life on that without a lot of trouble… unless your smart, engaged son or daughter starts talking this bullshit one day, and you have to figure out what is really wrong, so that you can help them. Because calling them a fucking idiot? Ain’t gonna save them.
I think this is a defense mechanism on your part. It’s hard to deal with this, that so many people are so badly removed from reality that they cannot see these simple, important facts. But it’s a lot like someone sees a homeless person, and they immediately jump to denigrate that person, to help them cope with their own emotional needs at the expense of their own empathy.
Oddly, I don’t have a lot of empathy for people who support a guy who has promised to destroy anyone who opposes him. There are only 4 basic reasons to support Trump: you’re really stupid, you’re really hateful, you’re a Christian fundamentalist (heavily overlaps with “hateful”), or you’re really rich. Usually it’s a combination of those things.
The guy was president for 4 years and showed exactly who he was. You don’t get to use the “Oh, they’re just misguided souls” excuse any more.
Calling them idiots isn’t an effort to save them and in no way needs to fulfill that objective. Further, swallowing Trump’s bullshit and honestly believing it is itself sufficient to qualify someone as an idiot. If someone is, in your words, so far removed from reality that they cannot see the simple important facts, then they are by definition not also smart and engaged.
You say that like I wouldn’t jist discipline and/or disown them for it
