Bill Pruitt, a former producer for The Apprentice whose NDA just expired after 20 years, writes in Slate that Donald Trump used the n-word during the production of the show — and there are tapes of him doing it.

    A Trump voter quote that always live rent free in my head is “He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting”.

    It tells you everything they need to know about them. They have a shit life, and they want to make damn sure everyone else has a shit life too.

      Before Trump I could pretend I lived in a world where the great majority of people were reasonably intelligent and kind.

          There’s an internet joke that the Mayans were right about the world ending in 2012; we just didn’t realize that the collapse would be gradual.

        It’s still true. It’s not that the majority of these people are actually thinking, “How can I make the world worse and make the greatest number of people’s lives bad?” Rather, they’re under the impression that others (probably you) are saying that, and worse, that Trump is somehow their best defense against it.

      It’s a bully mentality. I don’t want to make things better for anyone, I want to make things worse for them. Literal playground bully.
