This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

You can be the most loving, compassionate person in the world... but... if you’re not actively guarding your mind...you will become desensitized to human suffering...in ways that are far beyond what you would ever consider acceptable.
They’re not hiding the brutality anymore.
They want you to see it.

Back last year, I wrote a piece about how Tim Walz and his family’s embrace of Gus offered a template for how parents of neurodivergent kids could embrace their loved ones. Thinking about that now as Trump’s supporters are hurling the r-word at the Walz family.

What anxious parents of neurodivergent children can learn from Tim and Gwen Walz
The Walz family’s words and their embrace of their son may seem utterly unremarkable. But that’s the point.

"Culturally normal" is just one big dog whistle to indicate to the shitty people that there are people he views as "culturally abnormal" who need to be fixed.
And he doesn't mean the fascists for whom that's actually a fair assessment.

The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich.
