Well, this is reassuring.

I haven’t. But I wouldn’t say the RNC is the cult leader. It’s as if, though, they know they’re dealing with cult members- innately irrational individuals- and they’re just playing along. They’re taking advantage of compromised people. I wonder if they know how badly this could wind up.

Yeah, I read that same article, and as with so much else these days, found myself vacillating between pity and rage. I can’t imagine requiring something as vital as a liver transplant and not being able to afford it, but jesus fuck, what the fuck did they expect? Actions have consequences.

I had this dumb front desk job where I was required to just sit there- not use the computer or read or anything -between customers. It was insanity- inducing.
