Trump literally doesn't know what a fascist is. He might be okay with it if he did know. He just knows it's not a great thing to be. He's an old man with the brain no more knowledgeable than an 8 year old kid who was being charmed by Mamdani. This narcissistic idiot doesn't understand things. It's so fucking hard to fathom that and we all keep treating him like he's people.

Solidly second. They knew what they were doing as they were doing it.

Be interested = be interesting. Go do shit. Any shit. Join social causes. Figure out what you're passionate about and figure out how to join others in doing it. People are attracted to passion. If what you're interested in doesn't have any social avenues where you're at, start it up. Create a Facebook page or group for it (or something better than Facebook but it's unfortunately the most useful in my area).

This reminds of Ellen Greenburg in 2011. True Crime Garage podcast is talking about in their current episodes. 20 stab wounds the authorities are claiming were self-inflicted.

Handing a fuck ton of wealth to the already wealthy and propping up market bubble behaviors feels like it might be a downside.

He's like the mesothelioma of sexual partners.

I think you've gotten some good advice already. As was said, you owe them nothing. You don't owe them thanks. You don't owe them time. You don't owe them love.

I think the easiest and healthiest path forward is to set up boundaries. If, like me, you grew up without the concept of boundaries, it might take some learning and training. But, you set the boundary where you feel comfortable. Maybe at the point where you have found common ground before.

I highly recommend therapy to help you navigate this. Get a therapist, tell them what you want to do. That you want to set healthy boundaries with your parent. The therapist will start to find out the nuances to help you set and communicate the boundaries.

The therapist will likely understand this next need. If not, you should bring it up, that you want to heal the damage the parent has done through your childhood.

You can read up on toxic parents. Maybe they're narcissistic, there's plenty of books just for that. The key here, above all else, is to look after you. To make sure you're okay. You deserve healthy relationships. And you can demand that you don't continue unhealthy relationships.

Your life is yours to live. You deserve to be happy. Everyone else's life is theirs to live. The choices they make are on them, and you can't control that. But you can control in what ways others interact and impact you. I hope you choose the best and healthiest relationships to foster. I hope you live in your best interests.

Yeah that happens when you take away people's financial stability and/or money in general. No one plans to spend it they plan to save it.

We're going to be damned lucky if we get the chance for people to be played again.

It doesn't sound to me like he thought he was above the law. He seemed to know the consequences. He just didn't think that Trump should be above the law. Or, at the very least, above presidential decorum.
