I remember a long time ago on a forum called Facepunch, when he first became president, I made a comment. “My mother called me and told me she was sorry he got elected. He’s going to destroy our country.” I remember some guy calling my ma an idiot and saying she was wrong.
I wish I could find that cocksucker now and tell him to get bent till his head touches the ground.
Yeah. A friend of mine told me last year, just before the second term started, “Before this is over, everyone here not drinking the koolaid or rich enough to leave is gonna know what it feels like to be an abused spouse, trapped in a brutal marriage they can’t leave.”
At this point I’m not sure my buddy was wrong: isolating the US from all allies; ripping through our finances and savings; doing everything he can to make sure individuals feel powerless and alone; openly destroying/mocking us and/or whatever what we value, like the East Wing or the king airplane shitting video; pursuing the ICE murders, incarcerations, deportations and disappearances; making sure all internal sources of support (SNAP, SS, etc) for individuals are credibly threatened or gone . . . there’s a LOT of what he is doing now that could be tracked to an exact parallel in domestic violence situations.
I’ve made this metaphor as well, and you said it perfectly.
But I was wrong. It’s not a metaphor. Trump is an abuser. He is abusing us. Mass media has given a sociopathic malignant narcissist abuser access to all of us, and deprived us of any legal route to escape him.
