John Scalzi: The United States is currently being run by an administration of angry stupid friendless racist paranoid

authoritarians, and our current policies reflect this, and every other nation in the world would be fools not to recognize this and act accordingly

2. And conservative "intellectuals"

Attempting to spread their “values” on most college campuses can’t understand why they are frowned upon and constantly are on the losing end of intellectual chats. Heard such a knucklehead from the Heritage Foundation opining this morning on NPR. So freedom is now equated to rounding up “them” for deportation. And that freedom comes from the implementation of conservative dictatorship. And more such freedom can be had by doing away with NPR.

As they saying goes: Trust is lost in buckets but regained in drops.

The rest of the world is watching and paying attention. Even if we dump the orange hellbeast and elect someone akin to GOD, the rest of the world will always keep in the back of their mind that the US population could again collectively lose their shit and elect another demon from hell!

They are all sadistic sociopaths. This is DEI for sociopaths making their pilgrimage to take part in the Trump administration. They get off sexually by having the power to hurt people.
