  • They relate to him. They feel put upon by the burdens of a world that left them behind. They’re struggling financially while those “liberal elites” laugh at their misfortune. They grind 40 or 60 hours for a pittance that barely keeps food on the table these days. They watch TV and are bombarded by a culture that embraces sexual deviancy and vices that demonstrate the rot at the heart of their once fine upstanding country.

    From their perspective, of course. Forged by propaganda and misinformation that they are too furious to examine. This idiot man-baby we see? They see a fucking savior. A man who like them knows how things ought to be. A man with the willpower and knowhow to “save America.”

    Where we see petulance, they see righteousness, and they sympathize. These people are furious. He’s got them completely weaponized.

    Y’all can keep your negativity circle jerk. I’ll worry about the things in my life I can actually control instead of constantly wasting my time and energy bitching on the Internet about a guy that I will never be able to influence on any way whatsoever.

  • I’ve lost four senior pets in the last 3 years, all between 14 and 23 years old.

    You make them as comfortable as possible for as long as you can, and you shower them with love and treats for as long as they live.

    When you have to let them go, you stay with them until their last breath and you thank them for all the years they gave you.

    Go home and bawl your eyes out. Grieve for as long as you have to.

    But never, ever, ever give them up or give them away. They deserve better.
