They could be the Time Magazine Person of the Year!

I cross-posted an explanation for Trump's election that I haven't seen anywhere else, that strikes me as being right on:

The trigger I'm feeling is on the weapon that wipes out predators. They are not fit to walk among us.

I don't know anyone who hasn't been interfered with by predators - even predators that also experienced being assaulted in their youth. It was imprinted on them. It's the poison that keeps on giving.

Thanks, Ellen. There's always lots of hurt involved. Many, probably most, turn their pain inward and engage in a lifetime of fighting self destruction.

I was just saying this to a friend: "Almost everyone I know - male and female - has been sexually interfered with. It's a plague.

The weird thing is that the survivors somehow feel guiltier than their predators. I don't understand why the predators instill shame and have none themselves. It makes no sense unless they are true psychopaths.

They're like killers who allow their victims to continue living so the trauma never ceases."

SAVING THE COUNTRY FROM TRUMP

If you want to get rid of Trump then we have to get the Democrats the majority.

Make sure you vote for Democrat representatives in 2026. OTHERWISE TRUMP AND HIS CORRUPT NETWORK WILL CONTINUE THEIR DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA

FOR NOW ——-///-

Everyone has to educate their House and Senate representatives about Trump raping women and children. Everyone has to educate them that Trump is doing everything in his power to cover that up. Call, write letters and emails to your representatives.

There are a few representatives that don't know how evil/corrupt Trump and his network actually are. Almost all of the republicans know. They are just such lowlifes that they are worried about losing their jobs once everyone finds out.

THE EPSTEIN/TRUMP FILES HAVE TO BE RELEASED.

H.R. 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act has to get the majority vote for that to happen.

Don’t let the Republican representatives convince you they voted for this. THAT’S A LIE. They voted for H.R. 668 intended to clear Trump’s name from the sealed files.

Republicans are nothing more than paid voters

THIS IS A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY

A few thoughts this reminds me of; The first predator I met was the Lutheran pastor who would come over uninvited to get my mom to come to church. I was three.

The next I can't remember details, and I believe that's a good thing.

The list goes on and on.

I watched a part of an MSNBC interview with one of the survivors. The male interviewer kept demanding to explore the feelings this woman had. She handled it well. It made me sick.

I know a man who was raped by his mother. He insists that it was just a few bad years. It's so overwhelming he cannot process it.

Lastly, the body never forgets. For most survivors it doesn't go away and that is the real crime. It fundamentally alters the brain.

Thanks for sharing that. Yeah I don't think it ever goes away. It all comes down to pain management.
