While I don't disagree with the points Lakoff is making, the contravening issue is that we don't want to allow Trump to be normalized; perhaps even more to the point, direct confrontation is necessary and effective for dealing with malignant narcissists and eventually makes them back down and hide behind their insecurities.

1. This is outstanding. But the brains of the sheeple who retweet are not tuned to such reason.

Retweeting is their Jones, cocaine, drug.

We are in the process of being fucked, the act being observed from the throngs on the sideline and those who might take a baton to the head of the fucker are no where to be found.
