The article was originally titled “I Miss the Thrill of Trump” but then, of course, it was edited. We all know, however, that the title was completely sincere. The #Resistance felt that Trump gave meaning to their insignificant, boring lives. I’m very sad for them because people who seek meaning outside of themselves will never stop being miserable.

Sad, miserable, empty people who have no idea what a healthy, mature human psyche even is.

The plan is now to introduce a third “booster” shot. Because it’s not like anybody is allowed to wonder if this vaccine actually works.
Complaining about the double standard or the unfairness of what is happening is loser strategy. So is the “but they lied!” line.
It’s very attractive. It feels amazing. But it’s how your opponent drains your strength and feeds on your energy.
It’s a self-defeating habit that’s extremely hard to give up.
We are three minutes away from armed guards on the borders between states. I’m telling you, folks, this will keep getting worse until every single person sincerely scoffs at woke slogans. Until that happens, we are at the mercy of these bastards.
“Mommy, I’m feeling both excited and nervous about going to kindergarten. This is the first time in my life that I feel two emotions at the same time.”

Berkeley, everybody:
This is an ideology that punishes its most ardent believers the most.
Some idiot professor is asking on FB why students turn their cameras off during Zoom classes.
He seriously hasn’t figured it out.
Did you know about Terrance Yeakey? What a bizarre and scary story. Does anybody know anything about it beyond the Wikipedia article?

Actually, in SA people talk about Ramaphosa economy. So at least they are focused on who to hold responsible.
People have to find inspiration somewhere. Obviously with Trump the US is a failure.
