    If there had been, was it a crime?

    You keep wanting to ask me questions without answering any yourself. But because I don't shy away from your questions, then yes. In my opinion, if an American citizen willingly and knowingly colluded with a foreign power and directly influenced the course of an election (which could be proved) then yes, it should be a crime for that American citizen.

    Foreign powers constantly meddle in elections. We meddle in foreign elections all the time, our history is rife with it.

    Tsing and Echo admire the Trump grift and play along, that it will all end in tears is secondary to the thrill of the now. They enjoy the ride, the dominance, the "owning" of opponents, more than they care about long-term consequences.

    Not being a product of parental separation, having had a very consistent upbringing as the youngest child expecially I can't relate. People who grew up in chaos might be more comfortable with the instability of the Trump world because it feels familiar, even thrilling.

    Abused become abusers.

  8. Kevin should have said: "Those of you on the panel here who are DEI hires probably will not agree with me or be able to understand what I am saying."

    :cool:

    I see the grift for what it is, while they see it as just playing the game.

    One can only wonder what having your role model for much male identity switched out does. Perhaps similar to a distant father who is unpredictable.

    They learn to adapt by mirroring others, seeking power in dominance hierarchies, attaching to strong, authoritarian figures who offer the illusion of stability.

    If someone has spent their life adapting to unpredictable authority figures, they might see that as strength rather than manipulation.

    The long-term impact is probably a mix of insecurity and hyper-adaptability. They may struggle with self-reflection because their identity was always contingent on external forces rather than a stable, internal moral compass.
