      Could have spent the rest of my life without that sentence bouncing around my skull until one day spewing out of my Alzheimer’s ridden drooling mouth hole to the surprise of the day nurse.

    As a woman I’m reminded of a quote that gets passed around feminist spaces from time to time: “men should be glad feminists only want equality and not revenge”

    I don’t want revenge on men as a whole. I want equality and I’m extremely frustrated with how many men want revenge for our attempts to get it.

    What the hell does that mean? Is he offering his body to young men to deprive women of… “love”?

      My honest thought is “we will deny women autonomy so they’re forced to settle down, marry you, and learn their place”. They want what happened in Iran’s cultural revolution but Christian.

    Summary:

    • lies come out when mouth opens
    • mentally unstable
    • past of criminal behaviour
    • incapable of seeking or adhering to expert advise
    • needs adult help in diplomacy

    I keep wondering why he seems to have any chance at all. Guesses:

    • he seems to have access to considerable campaign money, due to oligarchs funding him (broken campaign finance laws)
    • he has taken hostage the right-leaning electorate since they have no alternatives (majoritarian electoral system forcing a two-party landscape)
    • some saw the exchange value of their labour disappear (and foolishly think the extreme right might help)
    • some saw life change, can’t adapt (and foolishly think that reactionary politics would help them)
    • some have graduated without any skill of political thought, because nobody taught them
    • some live in social media bubbles

    Obviously, society is not well. A healthy society should be able to recognize a confidence artist trying to con them.
