    White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

    Any group which resides at the pinnacle of privilege, yet feels aggrieved such that it requires exclusion of, and protection from, conflicting ideas, has relinquished all legitimate claims to strength and authority.

    I’ve only interacted with two dementia/alzheimer’s patients, so I’ll admit I don’t know much about the conditions.

    While yes, they could get belligerent and uncooperative, but largely would agree with pretty much whatever you were saying, as long as you weren’t using a mean tone. Basically they were thought sponges that had no problem agreeing with whatever you said, and even repeating it for a short time before losing it.

    Trump is clearly a thought sponge for whoever he last spoke to that wasn’t immediately adversarial to him.

      False, but also he holds all the guns. American justice and political systems are the ones who should be stopping him but failing miserably at it. In a normal democracy (see Brazil or South Korea for reference) he would be in jail.

    I hope there’s a leak of certain tests that surprises people about the DNA makeup of these people.
