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.

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