    Are we actually asking if an utterly vile, demonstrably corrupt, entirely self-serving psychopath who’s overseeing a genocide, a violent incremental land grab and repeated attempts to provoke wars with four different neighbors has “finally lost America?”

    Every time I think this timeline couldn’t possibly be more fucked up, it shocks me yet again.

        Exactly.

        He’s one of the most loathsome pieces of shit to have ever sleazed his way into office anywhere - a foul, noxious, utterly repugnant psychopath who bears personal responsibility for tens of thousands of murders and for the undue suffering of millions. And he gets fucking standing ovations from people who have the gall to consider themselves worthy representatives of the American people.

        It’s grotesque. It’s so far removed from human decency or even sanity that it defies any sort of valid explanation. Sincerely, the only conclusion I can reach is that the lunatics are in charge of the asylum - that somehow we’ve ended up with a society led by monsters - by amoral, loathsome, foul wretches who are so clearly depraved that they likely shouldn’t even be allowed out in public unaccompanied, much less entrusted with power.

        It’s insane. Literally, completely, staggeringly insane.

        Maybe to a psychopath. Any negative quality can be considered a slur by someone possessing it. A selfish person doesn’t like being called selfish, I suspect. I’m still going to call spades spades.

          The word is literally just Greek for mentally ill person. If you hate ps*chopaths, I’m going to assume you hate people for having depression, anxiety, or autism.

            What part of my entirely English sentence gave you the impression I was speaking Greek? Should we go back to PIE roots to find some more hidden bigotry?

              The word doesn’t mean anything in English. I assumed you were speaking Greek because otherwise you’d be babbling like a baby.

              Oh, well, it is a slur against disabled people in some dialects of English, I suppose.
