I LOVe Oswalt! I just dont understand why it takes a comedian to say this. It is SO obvious! Why is it so extremely rare to see political commentators saying this?! I am so sick and tired of this bully.
I was the smallest kid in my high school in Grade 9 and was bullied badly...until I kicked one of them in the balls so hard he was walking funny more than a week later. I did it in a crowded hallway and all the girls laughed at him, especially when he cried "Mommy!" as he lay on the floor. One of the guys on the fringe of the bullies told me a couple of years later that they didn't know if I knew how to fight or was just batshit crazy but either way, the physical bullying stopped.
Trump literally has zero respect for anyone in his cabinet because they all suck up to him. He knows and they know he can fire them immediately so ass kissing incompetent clowns is the equilibrium
I would argue that everyone that bends the knee to the orange authoritarian is getting their loyalty rewarded - exactly as designed. Otherwise why would they need to bow in the first place.
Every donor gets a pardon or favorable deal or whatever quid pro quo they all for, as long as they make Donnie tiny hands look good and keep supporting him in the media.
Oswalt totally missed the mark here, it's an exception that swearing fealty isn't rewarded.
It’s rewarded with more demands, and more fealty, which will extend for the rest of his life. The party base is fiercely loyal to him, but only him. He’s done nothing but humiliate his potential successors, and businesses that have profited the most have only been protected from the backlash because of his authoritarianism.
In the meantime, those who push back have thrived, and don’t rely on his cult of personality for longterm success.
Is like to see some citations on how those that pushed back have thrived, as even multinational law firms and corporations with almost unlimited resources canned after the first that from the DOJ, and literally anyone that stood against him or his cronies is targeted? ABC? Harvard? Over a dozen major law firms?
It's unfathomable, that it takes people so long to grasp this. Nearly all off us had to deal with bullies at some point in the past. Placating, appeasing, none of that shit EVER works. Many of us learned this in school. Yet for a decade, people have been trying to pander to this orange clown, in hopes that he would ease off. The only thing he understands is getting put down. That's it. Hit him back, harder each time, and he runs away. It's the only thing that works.
The other way to deal with a narcissist is to just ignore them. Let them know that they don’t matter or exist. Unfortunately, it’s not feasible to deal with this case that way, so we have to do it the way South Park does it: mock his teeny tiny penis
The correct way to deal with Donald Trump is in fact from South park, but we need to look at the treatment of the character Kenny in the first few seasons
Tolerance is a social contract. We all agree to be nice to each other. If you stop following that agreement, then it's rules no longer apply to you and nobody is under any duress to be nice to you.
it actually has a name: Sidam Touch. I only found out because I was calling it the Golgothan Touch, after the Golgothan Shit Demon from Dogma (KEVIN SMITH IS THE MAN!) When I got edumacated.
Yeah, you can't love yourself when you rape children for fun. Like, that isn't a healthy mind. No matter how many golden statues you have built of yourself, you know you're going to hell and diserve it. This is why so many pedos are drawn to religion, they are afraid because they know their doing evil, they think the church will protect them or forgive them. And of course, they meet others just like themselves there, a community forms.
It’s why he scuttles every deal he makes: Trump is a horrible person that cannot fathom mutual benefit; if he negotiates an agreement with you, and you’re happy/profiting — then he assumes he’s the one that got screwed in the deal — and then breaks the deal. … Iran knows this …
I just think it's even worse than that. I don't think he has the capacity to hate himself cause hate would require knowing what love is, and he's never experienced that.
Must be a fine line between loving yourself and hating yourself then. What about him suggests he hates himself? It's like saying Johnny Bravo actually hates himself. Maybe, but his behavior seems like it would also be consistent with unearned, unfathomable, bottomless narcissism.
"Narcissistic individuals are actually really hamstrung by insecurity and shame, and their entire life is an attempt to regulate their image," says Ramani Durvasula, a licenced clinical psychologist and professor at California State University, Los Angeles. "Narcissism has never been about self-love – it is almost entirely about self-loathing." https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20210414-why-some-narcissists-actually-hate-themselves
"It's long been established that there are two types of narcissists: "vulnerable" ones, who have low self-esteem and crave affirmation, and "grandiose" ones, who have a genuinely overinflated sense of self."
"A new study from New York University shows that grandiose narcissists might not be considered narcissists at all, because their behaviour could resemble psychopathy – a related condition in which people act with no empathy in self-serving ways."
"The research team suggests vulnerable types are the true narcissists, because they don't seek power or dominance, but rather affirmation and attention that elevate their status and image in the minds of others."
Call it whatever you want, but Trump loves himself.
Trump is the kind of man that cannot find joy outside of himself. He cannot look at others having fun and say “Good for them”. He always thinks “That should be me.”
He always thinks "Those people are stopping me from that being me." There is no balance with that guy. Everything that someone has, even joy in his mind, means an equal amount of that same thing was taken from someone else, namely him. His cronies all believe the same thing. They believe if more people are given freedom and equality that there will be less for themselves. Sorry, morons, it doesn't work that way.
They think they have less freedom when others get more because they're not longer able to persecute and discriminate against the types of people they don't like and/or want to be lower than themselves on the social hierarchy.

Dump doesnt hate himself. He is incapable of that much inner thought. He is a sociopath.

Bullies usually die young. They burn out with all the hate. Some you just have to wait longer.
HelpTheWretched
He loves himself way too much to entertain the thought of hating himself.
If you showed him a person who was exactly like him in every way, but merely *wasn't* him, he'd spend every waking moment hating that guy.

Never capitulate to bullies. If you give them an inch, they will take a mile.

Trump's a new yorker, born and raised. He's just star struck meeting the mayor of new york no matter who they are.

I work for one of the many law firms that pushed back, which resulted in it becoming a top-20 firm rather than top-50 worldwide.
If you wanted citations, you’d have looked for them instead of doubling down here though.

Weird it's almost like violent opposition to fascism is the only historically viable solution to dealing with it or something

"It's long been established that there are two types of narcissists: "vulnerable" ones, who have low self-esteem and crave affirmation, and "grandiose" ones, who have a genuinely overinflated sense of self."
"A new study from New York University shows that grandiose narcissists might not be considered narcissists at all, because their behaviour could resemble psychopathy – a related condition in which people act with no empathy in self-serving ways."
This one is Trump.
