@yarotrof @JuliaDavisNews @grok True? Exact location?

[Henry_W2 @Henry_W2]

I have an idea. Let’s call it the “NCA” instead of the NBA:

National CARRYING-THE-BASKET BALL Association

Point of emphasis? 👀

These quick thoughts by Michael Jochum on the disturbing reason Trump gets as much support as he does is a must-read 👇

I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic and depraved he is.

I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others.

If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy. If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in humiliation and conspiracy and filth, you found your guy.

If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy. If white grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If empathy feels like weakness and dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy.

If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them. That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it.

It was never really about him. It was about the validation. The absolution. The permission. He didn’t invent the resentment; he amplified it. He didn’t create the cruelty; he normalized it. He gave millions the intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest impulses echoed back at rally volume.

Trump is a symptom. The deeper illness is collective. If there’s one sentence that defines his power, it’s this: “He says the things I’m thinking.”

And that’s the part that should chill us.

Because what does it say about us that so many were thinking those things? That tens of millions of Americans harbored resentments so deep, so seething, that they were simply waiting for a demagogue to baptize them as virtue? That after decades of supposed progress on race, gender, and equality, so many white men felt so threatened, so displaced, so furious, that cruelty became a political platform?

Maybe we were living in a fool’s paradise, mistaking silence for healing, politeness for progress.

Now the mask is off. Now we know.

And knowing is a far more dangerous place to stand.

Brilliant take.

Now do *dribbling* versus chronic palming and uber-persistent-and-annoying carrying of the basketball. 🙏🙏🙏

Al Davis should have had Jim Garner visit Pete Rozelle **to straighten the guy out**.

And (if need be) he could have maybe taken John Matuszak and Lyle Alzado and Gandy with hi….. 🤔😎😬😎 🤔 )

And, man oh man, I hope you saw Todd Blanche’s Senate appearance today, including and especially his final exchange with Chris Van Hollen.

My brain is broken.

Again.

For a while.

When I see this kind of thing, I frequently wonder “Yeah, but what would GERARD say??”

Also - as long as I’m Xweeting into the void - I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while now.

Please define “a while.”

Remember who has been complaining about “Other countries laughing at the U.S.” over the last 10 years +++??

One day we will figure out how the Iranian theocratic government became so good at trolling the US, and that too using US-style pop culture memes and lines.

If only MAGA cult members could grasp just 2% of this.
