(Don’t read if you’re stressed out or upset, controversial opinion below) I have serious anxiety about saying something that will make others upset or angry. As an unhealthy coping mechanism for this anxiety, I obsessively google for controversial opinions I agree with, often for many hours on end. As part of NOCD therapy, I am supposed to share a controversial/potentially objectionable opinion with someone so I can get used to feeling the anxiety without responding with the unhealthy behavior (by resisting the behavior, over time the anxiety will decrease). And the NOCD app is a low-stakes place to do it; my therapist actually said I should do posts on here twice a day. So I’ll say something: I cannot believe that a good-hearted and sane person, who is aware about all the horrible stuff Trump has done and just what an utter disaster he is, could eagerly/enthusiastically support him (although I could understand someone who knows all this but reluctantly supports him as a perceived lesser of two evils, he’s bombed fewer people etc). However, I can easily believe that a good-hearted and sane person, who is NOT aware about all the horrible stuff Trump is done, because they exclusively consume pro-Trump media that ignores or misrepresents this stuff, could enthusiastically support him- and I think this is the majority of Trump supporters. I see all the time the stupid shit going on and think that if I didn’t know about all of Trump’s evil and criminal actions, I might support him too. Anyway, it’s hard for the left to make a solid case of superiority here, their nominee is a walking corpse and despite their virtue-signaling and identity politics crap Biden and Kamala have each done more to destroy the lives of black people (through mass incarceration and the war on drugs, which they both spearheaded) than Trump has. I very reluctantly voted for Biden and Harris last Thursday- I think they will be meaningfully less bad (still unacceptably terrible, but a lot less bad) on the environment (about which Trump is by far the worst president in history, which is really saying something) and health care and maybe the coronavirus response. But the truth is the American party keep getting screwed over by this impenetrable plutocratic duopoly of very similar politicians. The back-and-forth arguments are so dumb- “Trump is a pervert rapist!” “no Biden is!” “Biden is senile!” “No Trump is!” Instead why don’t we ask why in a country of 330 million, we’re being forced to choose between two clearly senile (although Biden might be worse), hopelessly corrupt, plausibly rapists to be the single most powerful person in the world and bring in a bunch of appointees to control the country and shape (destroy) our lives? What kind of choice is this? Biden’s daughter and Trump’s granddaughter go to the same rich people club or vacation spot or whatever, they’ve taken pictures together. Trump and the Clintons were both pals with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. “It’s all one big club and you ain’t in it!”
