What we have done in that decade of shit-talking Donald Trump is programmed our own minds, our own society, that shit-talk is all we really care about. We have let the most creative insults and mocking become what we value and share. And we are sharing no dreams of betterment, no progress towards mutual goodness. We have not adapted to the advances of technology in our minds, we have spent our free time mocking and insulting a person.
The children of this society, someone who was 7 or 9 years old in 2015, have spent a decade saturated in Donald Trump insult culture. Raised in the values that their future comes down to how much they can mock and turn crowds into mockery behaviors. How humanity has advanced from printing press and paper books to instant Unicode message delivery and video recording in every hand... so we can spend an entire decade insulting a person.
That has been our values.. November 27, 2024: "Sharon Stone says US is in state of ‘ignorant, arrogant adolescence’". If people living in the USA under this constant ocean of pissing and shitting on Donald Trump since January 2015 think this is an enjoyable life, that it was fun, then they have never lived a good year in their life. This has been horrific. A population where 90% of the people do nothing more than shit and piss their creative talents on soiling the nation. Avoiding asserting goodness, not saying "we would all be better with idea A and idea B", but instead just "Donald Trump wears diapers LOL", "Donald Trump playing golf again, ha ha ha ha", and "Donald Trump Tweeted again", over and over and over.
People have had a chance to blame all this on mental manipulation, executive function exploits of the mind, from Russia. But people would rather choose to shit-talk and be surrounded by a total population of people shit-talking Donald Trump.
And don't delude yourself that I'm saying "MAGA doesn't shit-talk", that's all they do too. It is 100% of the nation. Doesn't' matter if it's some masters or doctorate of English prose writing for Newsweek or Washington Post, it is all just insult and shit-talk about one person, Donald Trump, day in and day out for 365 days times 10 years, 3,650 days.
It doesn't matter if Fox News audience and MAGA were "the first" to shit talk, eventually it became everyone shit-talking and pissing on humanism and good ideas in favor of tactical clever insult culture. People became conditioned and outright addicted to constant streaming memes and messages of insulting human beings.
Most the children of the USA will probably never come to understand that this was the choice people made day after day for 4,000 days... waking up going you know what the USA needs, more insults and mocking of human beings, more shit and pissing on persons messaging. It will just be a hate-filled nasty place where goodness is only represented by a ruling class jetting around to their tall buildings and mansions and any human dreams of a "heaven for all" got trashed in favor of minds that dreamed of adding more shitty insults to an ocean of shitty insults.
“In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true. ... Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, published 1951

“Evil comes from a failure to think. It defies thought for as soon as thought tries to engage itself with evil and examine the premises and principles from which it originates, it is frustrated because it finds nothing there. That is the banality of evil.” ― Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, 1963
