wife and I are watching "13 reasons why" - it is triggering us, because there are many future trumps

in that show. there are future Dr. Fords. I don't know if the writer expected the show to be so relevant for our times, but wow...it is.

I get triggered by trump - and that show - because my school was a hot bed of bullying - it was the prototypical school of mostly blue collar white that aimed for mediocrity - good students got shunned and bullied, blacks got sidelined and ignored, jocks and cheerleaders were worshiped....I hated every second. What I got to see there are many future republican voters - whiners, didn't try hard, resented anyone who achieved and succeeded because they were too racist or lazy to achieve themselves.

I did my grad school work at Dartmouth - and got to see close up another trumpian incubator. As a destitute grad student, I got to TA the favored class - the kids that drove around in BMWs bought for them by rich mom and dad as graduation presents. I got to be told not to give out honest grades because this or that future failure had parents that were big time donors. I occasionally stepped in to a weekend party - Dartmouth was big on frats - and that was pretty appalling.

So I got to see what both the trump types, and trump followers come from. It was quite an education. Sadly, nothing that I am seeing today is surprising. The framework for both types of behavior is all laid out right in front of us. I suppose many here could tell similar stories.

But trump as president is really a worse nightmare scenario - the rich kid enabled major bully making it all the way (illegally) to the top, how shitting all over victims.

This particular time in our history truly sucks.

I'm sure hoping for a red wave in November.  There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth at the dump that will be magnificent to watch!  I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, if it happens, there will be no less than 250 threads on how the election was stolen.

 :whatever: "Triggered" by a TV show?  By mediocre fiction? :whatever:

Geesh! One of the things I taught my kids about fiction literature, even "historical fiction", is that the writers create their own universe, writing their world view into that universe and its population. Chances are, this DUpipo's reaction is exactly what the Hollyweird writers set them up for. :hammer: Dupes! :hammer:

I'm hoping for at least that many suicides of DUmmys.  Sadly, I'll be disappointed.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Was your determination made before or after you cucked for the girls at these parties?  The Navy may be full of Seamen but
you are full of something homosynonymous.

We all have a weak spot without harming animals or humans.  The truth not be told but this one spelled it out ...

Hattie Carroll was a maid in the kitchen
She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children
Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage
And never sat once at the head of the table
And didn't even talk to the people at the table
Who just cleaned up all the food from the table
And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level
Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane....

And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished
And handed out strongly, for penalty and repentance
William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence...

This where the democrat party of evil wants to go.
