    Yet another failed actor/actress.

    Its a weird thing now so much if the right wing is filled with people who so desperately want to be special a D seen as so by everyone else but will shift to willing to take any path to get there.

    Its like they thought those were the easiest ways to get fame and money and that is as far as the thought went and it works when your leader is this gross but in your corner.

    Want to know why the kids are turning conservative? This feels like why. They see they need to drop morals to get what they want and they have been told what they want is fame and money or they will never be happy.

      A friend years ago clued me in to the Rosetta Stone for understanding conservatives: At base, they have a deep, abiding self-hatred. Yes, people often say it’s fear, but everybody’s motivated by fear of something. The conservative is motivated specifically by fear that they’re worthless, that they don’t measure up.

      It makes so much sense when you game it out: They’re constantly needing external validation that they are good, or at least, better than somebody else. The basis of racism becomes clear as day in this light, and the desperate need to be special is just kind of axiomatic.
