Don't get me started.

(1,009 posts)Boring is unchaotic. It's where serenity lies. In government, it means there are no scandals and no controversies.
These are mentally deranged people.

(1,137 posts)I find them fascinating. Maybe what they are really saying is they are not smart enough to follow along with the intricacies of politics. Just like Trump needs pictures and words about him in daily briefs, these yahoos need an uneducated mean girl running office for them to have any interest. If they had real interest, otherwise, they would know and understand the harm being done by our government and they would want them all out.
"He don't care who he steps on and I like that" = I really want to be a bully but do not have the balls to do it. I look up to him because I want to be a bully, just like him, when I grown up.

(611 posts)Screaming and in your face makes his voters feel powerful. But it will be left to someone else to sweep up the ashes and mend the fences later.

(1,009 posts)who make comments like that - and I don't say this lightly - but these are dysfunctional people who must have been abused as children, or had toxic parents. The kind that chase down bad relationships, because that is their "normal".
Every Twitler supporter Ive known had a messed up childhood or a dysfunctional family. The damaged people voted for a man who himself a damaged individual.

(2,078 posts)Maybe some, but not the majority. I live among some of these people. They are so mind fucked (propagandized/FOXed) they are willing to believe anything. Now with Alex Jones being normalized, the crazy is turned up to 11.
The shit I hear them say...otherwise normal people...I am forever altered and will never forgive or forget what they are doing.

(4,395 posts)And frankly I think greed is boring, ignorance is boring, self-aggrandizement is boring, endless ass-covering and finger pointing is boring.
I think Larry Harris is confusing being a trainwreck with being an "interesting" person. And that's a pretty sad commentary on American values.

(89,249 posts)And he IS boring. Repeats the same shot overt and over again.
These are probably the type that thinks watching others get hurt is fun.
Only movies with a lot of violence can be good.
Fuck these people.
