Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI just blocked an Insane Right winger
on Twitter. She was saying JUST HOW GREAT it would be to NUKE North Korea and destroy their entire population. She is hoping Trump will KILL the "yellow bastards" ... this from a woman who
thinks that RUSSIA is America's greatest ally..
WTF is with these people? Is this really AMERICA, or are we too far gone?? I won't repost her message to me...because of the words she chose to use, regarding my Asianess.... yeah SHE PROBABLY thinks all Asians in America are North Korean spies....

Our people here are definitely in some kind of psychosis. It felt so normal there, and coming back to this reality, it feels like bizarro world. Or for those who are old enough to remember - The twilight zone.

Mister Ed
(5,924 posts)We have millions, perhaps even tens of millions, who are brainwashed into a state of psychosis. They're genuinely unable to distinguish reality from non-reality. And it is fruitless to debate a psychotic.

(41,818 posts)I have met many people who think that politics is stupid , they don't want a part of it and hate all politicians... and think any one in government from Police on up are full of bullshit. They just want to go about their lives having nothing to do with anything governmental including voting.
procon
(15,805 posts)Maybe they're too young to remember the horrors of war that filled our TV screens back then. Surely they've seen the gruesome pictures of the survivors and the dead from Hiroshima from their history textbooks? No one has missed the death and destruction that has ravaged Afghanistan and Iraq.
Given all that, why would any sane human being want to bring on another war and the possibility that two impulsive, immature, self-centered lunatics might start a pissing contest with nukes?

(841 posts)Some of these people have underlying problems and they take it out on others. I have relatives like that. They are frustrated with their lives and so the answer is to beat up on other people especially if they look different. It is sad really. Others are just plain jerks.
P.S. Shin Godzilla is an awesome movie.

He was carrying on about how we wouldn't be in this mess with Korea if Obama wasn't such a weak leader. Pretty common stuff for a right winger but I guess I'm just having a bad day and I lost it.

(41,818 posts)a vetting system when adding people. I have some certain ground rules I chose like to check their web page, see what kind of things they are saying and if they praise some Right winger as brilliant or have a crush on Ann Coulter they get blocked. I barely have to do that, unless someone is extremely on my case.

Those who send me personal messages tend to be civil, however since it was posted in a #nuclearthreat category it may have attracted a few stupid right wingers who had to jump down my throat AND tried to shut me up.

We used to have them shamed into hiding, but the anonymity of the internet snd sucees of Trump has emboldened them. Another horrible legacy of his we will have to work for decades to undo

(34,341 posts)would be a "cakewalk" & that after a month we'd be greeted as The Great White Hope & they'd shower us with flowers & bow down to us as their saviors & give us all their oil. It was a horrific, simple-minded, bigoted, Kochsucking, Fox-PAC fantasy. The only thing it accomplished was to destabilize the entire Middle East.
Now we've got this narcissistic, crazy ass orange Mussolini-wannabe who only cares about his "numbers" & a Republican party that appears to be just fine with it. History--if we survive this--will NOT be kind to any of these treasonous assholes. BTW, I don't know how many Cult45ers or Russian bots I've blocked on Twitter. Their unflappable devotion to Twitler is alarming and it scares the hell out of me. A significant portion of the population & the politicians they elected are a direct threat to America and the entire planet.

GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)But I would have pissed in her cereal. Told there are a hell of a lot more yellow bastards than there are white American bastards. And between the yellow, brown and black bastards they will soon out numbers the white bastards here in America.
But I can be that way sometimes.
yuiyoshida
(41,818 posts)A lot of Republicans are afraid of losing their powers, because they will once more minorities come up in the ranks...into the political ring and government...
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)That is what this entire crazy assed rush to bring in regressive policy while trying to repress the minority vote. They can see the demographic timebomb in front of them.
You will see more and more discussion about a constitutional convention of the states in hopes that they can enshrine their regressive policies in the constitution before they are overwhelmed.
They will fail.

(41,818 posts)to make it like it used to be, only LAND owners can vote...if you work for someone, you are just that, a worker, with no rights including the chance to vote...eventually they may eliminate our party all together, and try to make it a one party country..just like the Russians did...after all they seem to have this love for RUSSIA.

(41,818 posts)I loved growing up in a basically a Chinese Neighborhood... I wasn't hated because I was of Japanese decent. What I do regret is my parents not wanting to go back to Hawaii to visit their family, I might have ended up staying there, but they wanted me here in California to go though the California school system and with my feet planted firmly on the mainland. I traveled quite a bit and been to at least 30 states.. but never Hawaii.. don't know why I didn't go there...but I fell in love with Tahiti... so I probably should go there. Another place I would love to visit is Saipan,... its US territory so I don't need a passport... but I hear its a hella long flight...more than the 9 hours it took to land in Tahiti. Its not even as commercial as Hawaii..but it belongs to us..If I only had the cash to do so...

(46,684 posts)Well put. I often watch people at gatherings where liquor is served. I don't drink, myself, so I watch and listen. At the reunions where I have military friends there is definitely tough talk that really doesn't leave room for outside reasoning. It's all about fitting in.

(1,204 posts)I am shocked at how often I see similar extreme craziness assuming it's just someone playing a caricature role mocking such attitudes, but then after a little investigation I discover it's an actual person who truly thinks that way.
No sense is pointing out their flawed thinking because they will ignore all logic and reason.
