In his last few paranoid years during public appearances and in Politburo sessions, Joseph Stalin would have someone observing the crowd, carefully noting who was applauding Stalin with insufficient enthusiasm or who stopped clapping first. On one occasion, some poor factotum succumbed to a heart attack, scared literally to death to be seen as less than adulatory.

Congressional Republicans have found themselves in that railcar on the Trump Train.

His face is really abnormally repellent, isn't it? Normally I would never remark on a person's appearance, but it's weird the way his tiny features have gotten all kind of squished into the center of his giant face. If he smiled it would be okay, but he's so full of hate that his mean expression just squishes them together even more.

People aren’t only helpless emotional wrecks when “triggered.” Many have gained strength and wisdom and say “I know abuse when I see it and you will NOT be allowed to continue.”

(Edited because I initially said “women” but men too!)

And it is a very powerful determination. I know all to well how to don the cape and kick ass, once I allowed my tears to flow.
