Sociopaths are attracted to politics because the see it as a sphere in which you can be ruthless and step all over people. That fact that some politicians can tell such awful lies is another example of sociopathy. Sociopaths lie__hey see nothing wrong with it.

If you lay with a scorpion, don't be surprised when it finally stings you.

Electing a bigot enables further bigotry.

We elected a man who knows how to build walls when we needed someone who knows how to build bridges.

Accepting fraud from our leaders means accepting fraud in our personal lives.

Fascism thrives in obscurity and darkness.

It is going to be too easy for things to start feeling normal__specially if you are someone who is not directly impacted by his actions. So keep reminding yourself:This is not normal.Write it on a Post-It note and stick it on your refrigerator, hire a skywriter once a month, tattoo it on your ass.Because a Klan-backed misogynist internet troll is going to be delivering the next State of the Union address.And that is not normal.It is fucked up.

When you're dealing with frauds and liars, listen more to what they don't say than what they do.

If you voted for a man who said "Grab em by the pussy," you have zero room to claim to protect anyone in bathrooms.

Those who incite violence have no business lecturing others about unity.

Leadership by deception isn't leadership. It's fraud.

A president who has incited violence inspires citizens towards hate and violence.

A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.

There is never a moment where I find Trump persuasive. When I look at him I see a man without any inner life. I see the most superficial person on Earth. This is a guy who has been totally hollowed out by greed and self regard and delusion. If I caught some sort of brain virus and I started talking about myself the way Trump talks about himself, I would throw myself out a fucking window. That barely overstates it. Do you remember that scene at the end of The Exorcist where the priest is driving out the devil from Linda Blair and the devil comes into him and he just hurls himself out the window to end all the madness? Well, it would be like that.

Nuance is anathema to his thinking, which is why he can maintain such fidelity to his ideas in a-hundred-and-forty-character bursts.

Failing to indict a criminal sitting president sends the message that those in power are above the law.

Discrimination does not 'make America great.' It makes America weak.
