I’ve been telling people for years that there are assholes all around me. Everywhere I go, I see assholes. I’ve been saying this since the late 90s.
I’ve always been told, mostly by people on the internet who don’t know me, that maybe I’M the asshole.
Well there it is. Visualized survayed data that PROVES assholes are everywhere. I’m in Ohio. So 49/1/49 ratio on that list. There really ARE assholes all around me. At all times.
See??? See??? Take that, random collection of various people online over the coarse of 30 years telling me I’m an asshole! I knew I wasn’t an asshole! Well, unless you try to hurt my family. Then I absolutely do fly off the rails and all hell breaks loose. THEN I become an asshole.
But in most times? I’m not the one parking my grocery cart dead center in the aisleway and dead staring at mustard as if I’m unfirmiliar with the core concept of mustard, but flip out if anyone tries to pass by.
Those people exist, and I’ve suggested that everybody be allowed to carry a wet fish. Then when someone is being an asshole, you slap them in the face with an old wet fish. Now while they’re experiencing the innitisl shock and confusion over what just happened, you sweep the leg, rip off their sock and shoe, put them in an ankle lock, and tickle their feet for 30 minutes.
Bet they never pull THAT shit again! But state legislators won’t even put the fish n’ tickle bill on the ballots! Let the people vote!!!
Funny, that’s the same time I figured out that USA as a society is mentally ill. And is a society that normalize abuse, oppression and violence.
This became clear to me a bit after the 3 strikes laws were introduced in California in 1994, California doing this and being considered among the more moderate states, was a HUGE warning sign. Also paramilitary police, stand your ground. The rhetoric describing everything as a war, the use of food-stamps instead of financial aid and on and on.
the evidence of it is in the hundreds of general examples of how USA is a sociopathic society, and now we have Trump to make so blatantly absolutely clear, that even Americans that used to be Desensitized because of the constant exposure are beginning to see it.
This is far from an anecdotal problem, that can be solved by the next election, it permeates society, and has roots in the idolization of freedom (without specifying what it actually means) and greed and money. All personified perfectly in Trump.
Trump is a malignant narcissist, (worse than a psychopath or sociopath), but the extreme idolizing of freedom and money has turned the evils of Trump into virtues.
Many Americans admire Trump for having absolutely no conscience as they see it as an expression of the ultimate freedom, and they admire his corruption and criminal behavior, because he makes money on it.
On top of that we have the religious insanity, which Trump is also a part of, for instance believing prosperity gospel, which is an absolute bullshit con. But Trump has those crazies too.
Trump is a picture of the state of American society, and normal people must be living in political hell in USA right now.
Well yeah its because only like a third of that group can read anything more difficult than the Hunger Games. 34% of adult Americans can’t read above a 4th grade level
TIL: No state in USA has below 31% sociopaths!!!
In normal countries like functional democracies that kind of extremism is usually limited to below 10%.

You should lead with that. You’re definitely surrounded by assholes.

TIL I’m “normal”.
Unfortunately normal is a minority in USA.
That word “Unfortunately” is doing some pretty serious heavy lifting in that sentence.

My in-laws read just fine and are still off the deep end. It’s also about what they choose to read.
