I have to ask - how do you manage the overwhelming need to say “I F**KING TOLD YOU SO!!” like a dozen times a day? That kind of restraint is kind of admirable.

He, sadly, represents the mindset of a substantial chunk of the country who voted him in, but he does NOT speak for all of us.
He is garbage, and the sooner we throw him out, the better.
Who am I? I’m a rebel. I choose to resist.
Who are you?

I think it goes back much much further than that. Like… Cain, maybe.

If he’d like us to stop comparing (describing him) to Hitler, maybe he should stop behaving like Hitler. It’s not rocket science. Granted, he doesn’t know rocket science either.

It’s definitely a challenge for the naturally verbose. But I do love a good challenge!

It makes me feel less anxious to hear creators like yourself address this. Good writers borrow from others; great writers steal outright.

I know the temptation is to poke fun at his “I know all the best people” lies, but I think it’s more satisfying (?) to simply observe that he doesn’t know any of the best people. And the best people are too smart to trust him.

I’m a natural optimist. That or I’m not clever enough to imagine our own extinction. Probably the second option.

I’m doing my best to document not just the facts but also the context. Survival is up there too, but more in the way that I have people to protect.

Thank you for your stories! (Though they did make me rethink what business I had calling myself a writer for like a year, but I’m writing again!)

Which makes me think of this election - one candidate presented as the Dad, the other as the Mom, and I think perhaps the subtextual gender parenting stereotypes may have brought their respective messages too deep into subconscious expectations for us to recognize until it was too late.

Dads take you to the game or give you ice cream. Dads give you but also dish out the heavy punishments. You gotta obey him, because you’re afraid of his wrath.
Moms, you’re more afraid of her disappointment and guilt for not doing your part.

Moms (gen x tradition here) tell you to finish your veggies/homework, clean your room, take out the trash. They expect you to do your chores.
