Really thinking this should be codified by the DSM. The long term exposure to one of the dumbest people in the world intentionally mangling the truth daily, with zero ability to escape - unless you want to ignore the travesties and cruelty his policies bring - does cause mental anguish in a way I think most people in the US have never experienced; a decade plus of psyops lying and telling you it's truth, all driven by a deranged moron...
If he were nobody, it wouldn't matter a whit. Letting the moron drive the bus over the cliff while shouting "actually, everything is fine" over the speakers is simply insulting. Trump's deranged bullshit inflicted on the country certainly seems like something sociologists and psychologists should study in great detail.
I love when they start throwing around "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as an insult, and Lefties don't get insulted at all, because it is apparent to EVERYONE that it describes MAGAs far more accurately than their enemies.
They prove their virtuosic incompetence every day, and their complete lack of self-awareness is hilarious. Ironically, the people that should wrestle with Imposter Syndrome every day, have absolutely none of it.
From the unfortunate conversations I've had with a friend who leans in these directions, they see him as sticking it to establishment and willing to express attitudes they felt ashamed to express previously. Plus they are just dumb as fuck and Trump's utter nonsense takes on politics which conveniently leaves out complexity appeals to them -- things like "the economy isn't doing very well and the reason is immigrants" makes it simple for their underdeveloped reasoning skills.
Well that's just not true, immigration is great for the economy in terms of GDP because more workers make numbers go up and bad for "the economy" in terms of deflating local wages.
It's a complicated balance but they're certainly not unrelated.
I think the housing crisis or cost of living crisis is mostly unrelated to bad immigration regulation, but that's still a small factor.
Immigration when done correctly is great, of course you have to consider ensuring local people are employed first and you are filling in needed gaps or creating more business and employment in general
The population increase over the last 26 years has almost exclusively been from people having kids. Immigration accounts for less than 5% over that period. So yeah the housing crisis has literally nothing to do with immigrants.
It is actually simple though, the economy isn't doing well and the reason is the super rich. We could drill down and refine that, but the rich being the problem is not an incorrect statement by any means, and just as easy to understand.
Point being, we know people are stupid, and the president is the only one that looks like he's fighting. That calls out villains and promises to do something about it. Either we get someone to do that for real, or we will get fake populists scapegoating others, and likely trying to take absolute power and kill democracy, such as it remains.
Steering's on the right, people look British, pavement looks British, graveyard looks British, and "it is what it is" is a common trite, tautological idiom in the UK.
That makes their neon crucifix in the windscreen illegal and likely to get them noticed by police.
Edit: did some sleuthing; it's outside All Saints Church on Church Road in Crowborough, East Sussex. Car is parked just west of the lychgate; photographer is looking north.
Also the skulls and the threatening "you're next" scrawled nearby.
Of course, we must all remember that our government currently says this guy is understandable, correct, sane, normal and a "hardworking British citizen". Not to be confused with an old lady holding a banner that says "stop supplying weapons to Israel's war on Gaza". She is dangerous and a terrorist.
A snowflake who’s plastered his feelings all over his paedomobile trying to simultaneously claim some degree of stoicism. Either that or assert that the Murdoch assigned opinions he’s plastered over his car are facts and it’s a response to anyone who’d take issue with them. As you can evidently tell he’s a deeply popular, well socialised individual.
No, research suggests that mentally ill people are more likely to be the victims of people like this rather than the perpetrators. This person is likely fine mentally.
We understand the desire to separate one/many's self/selves from people like this but that's just playing right into their hands.
Truth is anybody can become like this, and pretending otherwise is not going to keep it from happening.
Someone who does this has a strong need for attention and belonging to a particular in‑group that they ignore most societal norms.
They have a very low concern for how distressing or hostile this looks to others, which can overlap with traits like antagonism or narcissism.
What you can reasonably infer from a car like this is: strong identification with polarizing politics, comfort with provoking or upsetting others in public, and a high need to broadcast grievance or hostility; those are compatible with higher dark‑trait scores.
While not specifically “mentally ill”, they exhibit traits that are socially unacceptable and very likely to be irrational, hostile, and generally unstable. But at least they label themselves as someone to avoid at all costs.
I wish Margaret Thatcher could return from hell for exactly ten seconds. Just enough time to take in the state of English nationalism in the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3192.
I was using sheep way before these tools co opted it. I'm taking it back, fuck these sheep and their sheeple wordage while tooling for the republicans.
someone correctly pointed out to them that their herdlike mentality brought the sheeple comparison. they liked the word... they like sheep a bit too overtly, too. I think that's why it caught on.
Goats are the smartest of the barnyard animals, it's natural the pigs she listens to would campaign against the goats to prevent them from upsetting the pigs' malign plans.
I've considered it a time or two myself and came to the conclusion that it's petty wankery at best, so if you're going to do it you should go for grand wankery and just set the stupid things on fire.
