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.

Trump: "If I hadn't bombed Iran, they would have had a nuclear weapon in 2 WEEKS!"
Trump has said many stupid things. This may be the stupidest.
Facts pulled out of his ass.
🚨BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu says the full Epstein files contain information that Donald Trump RAPED minors.
So he started a war to distract us from his crimes.

@cturnbull1968@PressSec You're talking about the orange idiot who when asked re plans as to who would he choose to lead the new regime..that he had people in mind but that he'd killed them in the bombing raids🤷♀️
Right now the Dow has dropped over 1,000 points. If that holds, it will be the 14th time in history it happened.
Donald Trump was President 12 of those times.
@TalkTV@TVKev Hes a demented orange pissdongle...UK should ignore his rantings and hope Americans regain their sanity and resume some semblance of order next election...a ridiculous incompetent clown not fit to be POTUS.
The NHS tells us there is no money. No money for extra staff. No money for reducing waiting lists. Nurses are urged to be resilient. Taxpayers are urged to understand the pressures. Yet when eight nurses in Darlington asked for something as basic as the right to change without a male present, money was suddenly no object. County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust found more than £600,000 to fight them in court.
That sum is not abstract. It is the equivalent of more than nineteen newly qualified nurses' salaries. It is months of treatment for patients on waiting lists. It is resources that could have been spent on care. Instead, it was spent defending a policy that an employment tribunal has now ruled violated the nurses' dignity and amounted to harassment. Employment Judge Seamus Sweeney did not mince his words. Allowing Rose Henderson, a biological male who identifies as a woman, to use the female changing facilities created a "hostile, intimidating, humiliating and degrading environment". Those are not culture-war slogans. They are judicial findings.
The trust did not stumble into this position by accident. It chose to defend it. Staff raised concerns. The issue did not disappear. The trust escalated. Lawyers were instructed. Public money flowed. The nurses were forced to fight their own employer simply to assert a boundary that most people would regard as common sense. Only after losing did chief executive Steve Russell apologise for the "distress caused" and confirm there would be no appeal. The money is gone. The damage is done. Now we are promised a "review".
This is the real scandal. The NHS is not a debating society. It is a publicly funded service entrusted with care. When frontline nurses say their dignity is being compromised, the instinct of leadership should be caution, not confrontation. Instead, ideology hardened into policy and policy hardened into litigation. The institution treated its own staff as the problem. It took a tribunal to say otherwise.
The trust now speaks of "improving private changing spaces" and ensuring arrangements "align with the law". That alignment could have happened years ago. The Supreme Court has clarified that sex in law means biological sex. The legal warning signs were visible long before the final ruling. Yet the trust pressed on, confident enough in its position to gamble more than half a million pounds of public money. That is not prudence. It is institutional arrogance.
There is a pattern here that extends beyond Darlington. Large public bodies adopt fashionable policies. Internal dissent is dismissed as prejudice. Legal risks are minimised. When challenged, the full weight of the institution is deployed against individuals who lack comparable resources. If the institution wins, the policy stands. If it loses, there is an apology, a review, and a quiet promise to do better next time. The cost is absorbed. The culture remains.
What should disturb the public most is the hierarchy of priorities this case reveals. There is always a shortage when nurses ask for support. There is never a shortage when leadership decides to defend a principle it believes cannot be questioned. The message to staff is clear: compliance is cheaper than dissent. The message to taxpayers is clearer still: your money will be spent not only on care, but on defending the indefensible.
Bethany Hutchison, one of the nurses who brought the case, called the spending "appalling". She is right. No nurse should fight years of legal battles for basic privacy, and no trust should spend £600,000 defending what a tribunal ruled a degrading environment. That choice speaks volumes about leadership.
This was never just about a changing room. It was about whether common sense and the law would yield to institutional dogma. The tribunal has answered that question. The nurses were right. The trust was wrong. And the public paid for it.

🚨HOLY SH*T: A clip of Rep. Ted Lieu is going viral where he confirms there are serious allegations of Donald Trump R*PING a children and threatening to MURD*R them.
This is what Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche tried to hide from us all along. They need to resign and be in prison.
