applegrove's JournalTrump builds models of the world in his mind and remembers those
instead of details that he is bad at remembering. His models no longer work as the details are taking over (legal liabilities). So it all comes crashing down.

This indictment of Senator Menedez is a HOAX and a WITCH HUNT of an innocent man by the DEEP STATE and -
Oh, wait! I just realized I am not in an amoral cult of unmanly obedience.
Resign, dude.

"Cult of unmanly obedience" should go viral.
There was an exodus in the late 1970s to Ontario. I lived in Montreal in
the early 1990s and there were a bunch of empty storefronts downtown still. When I lived there in 2004 - 2006 things seemed to have improved. Montreal is such a great city. If they were pro English speakers they would be overrun by canadians. Breaks my heart the whole survival of the culture and draconian laws there. I was in French immersion in public school. My parents generation did their best to keep the country together. For sure we are a liberal country because of Quebec. And French immersion ended up giving Canadian kids across the country a leg up in intellect as a second language does. We owe so much to those Quebecers, even the ones who agitated for separation. It made us people who accept that you don't always get exactly what you want in politics and that is important.
As to the Musk Starlink Crimea blocking, it brings up a new issue:
private ownership of infrastructure not only doesn't have the interest of the people in mind necessarily, it may geopolitically have opposite interests of the country (or countries) where the infrastructure is located. Musk obviously has ties to the Russian market. He's trying to sell Tesla's in China. What happens to Starlink as Taiwan may soon find itself in the fight of its life?
I think the pain is that the US oligarchs have robbed them of the chance
of a good union job and thus a chance at a fishing boat (or cabin) in retirement. They are barely making it. GOP Government in red states is making their lives less secure. So they get off the financial troubles anxiety train and scapegoat those the cult says they should scapegoat. It feels awful to not be middle class. By joining a cult, they have a perfect relationship with Trump and can forget their sorrows. They live through him. They hate through him. They are not of themselves.
I don't think the majority of Trump cultists would ever feel guilty about how they have terrorized one group or another. When they lose, or Trump dies, they will just be bitter and in pain. Why Democrats are fixing union membership. They want to grow the middle class so people jump on the middle class train and dream about that cabin in the woods again.
Baldwin is referring to the pain that people then project when they hate others who have done nothing to them and they have not much to be thankful for in their own lives. Like how the wealthy in the south kept poor whites poor so their hate against poc was baked into the economy along with their lack of chance at a middle class life. The hate made them belong..... somewhere. The wealthier whites lived like plantation owners that was dependant on poc getting paid shit. Again a nice life that would be threatened if there was not hate of poc. Again the pain of not being as well off as you want. IMHO.
I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense,

I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain

Anyone else feel like we are reliving the 50s and 60s?
Republicans don't want to Govern America. They want to Rule America. There is a huge difference.
