Re: post 25, I agree that the tape has allowed many females to go batsh## crazy against Trump, calling him a bully and bringing up their own history of being bullied. I’ve encountered strange behavior from some longtime friends where they rant on social media on and on and on. In one case I asked a friend privately, do you really believe what you’re posting, the person jumped all over me with language that sounds like they went off their meds. It’s disappointing and distressing. In one case where I emailed a friend from a social group I’m in that I’m unfriending people who do political posts because I only want to see photos of people’s pets or vacation pics in my inbox and don’t take it personally, I got a return message, I’ll save you the trouble. The person unfriended me. Thank you. BTW I do welcome conservative posts on social media.
I have noted a common tendency for people to descend into madness when certain emotional stimulus is applied. Otherwise normal and rational people will let fly with their primal shriek if you but stumble upon the combination of thoughts that will set them off.
We all like to believe we are rational, but many of us believe ridiculous things and will come apart if challenged on the ridiculous things we believe.
I used to think this phenomena was mostly related to liberals/Democrats, whom I have always perceived to be more emotional than logical, but now I realize it is a common trait among conservatives and Republicans too.
D@mned annoying.
