I'd say it's more of a HENRY thing (high earning, not rich yet), but I very much agree.

On the other side, I can't name any rich person mannerism I'd call remotely positive. Maybe some Old Money humbleness, but that's also pretty rare.

Nope, not gonna work. Not against Cafeteria Christians all of them are.

Define bad for the world. You can say this man is a deranged maniac able to implode the entire western order, leading to countless lives in ruin, insane social imbalance and strenghtening of our enemies, and literally burning our planet.

But all that doesn't matter, becaude corpos don't care. They only understand money. They don't care about long-term consequences, they are humungous instant gratification machines centered around generating profit.

Value of the dollar is much more important to them than the wellbeing of the world.

Cool, now it's just 8 years of waiting for release and then just 4 more until they make it playable

You're not alone, even r/conservative seem to be genuinely disappointed about this very thing, which tells you a lot!

The idea of a man revoking intrusive thoughts instead of simply embracing them is just straight out repulsive!

Hey man, Trump won, things are happening, how do you feel about the current situation if I may ask?

 

You'd think a hegemony with a 100-years tradition of upkeeping democracy against major non-democratic players, would have some mechanism that would prevent itself from throwing down it's key ideology.

Is it really that the president is all that decides about the future of democracy itself? Is 53 out of 100 senate seats really enough to make country fall into authoritarian regime? Is the army really not constitutionally obliged to step in and save the day?

I'd never think that, of all places, American democracy would be the most volatile.
