The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Who but someone in a cult could listen to these mad ravings for nearly two hours and come to any other conclusion: Mad King Donald is unwell and unfit.

Believe it or not, there are many people in this country who consider such language to be normal. They grew up with it. Their fathers or their pastors spoke or acted that way. Their bosses act that way. Trump is simply the living embodiment of a way of relating that has already been normalized for them.

Psychologists call such people “damaged”.

And they are joined by the crowds who didn’t grow up that way, but for whom this language and way of relating has been shoved down their throats by the right wing media to the point that they have willingly normalized such language and behavior for themselves.

We call these “dupes”

And we are not exempt from being swept up into this poisonous way of thinking and relating, EVEN AS WE OPPOSE IT.

The other day, I posted the words I saw on a protest sign I saw:

Six weeks into this administration and I’m already using “fuck” as a comma.

Funny, in fact, hilarious.

Because it’s true.

Here at shrew’d, it seems that only albaby has shown the maturity needed to guard his heart from the madness.

Be like albaby.
