> [@igor\_frankensteen](#): > > By the way, don’t be fooled by any seeming introspective story Trump may tell. He has repeatedly shown that he is prone to “taking a trip” on an idea, and making things up to follow the romance, or poignancy or other appeal of the tale he has started to weave, and then added more and more on to it to appeal to his audience of the moment. Reminds me of this scene: > [@](#): > > **Harley:** That’s not… no. _NO!_ He told me things, _secret_ things that he never told anyone! > **Batman:** Was it his line about the abusive father? Or the one about the runaway mom? He’s gained a lot of sympathy with that one. > **Harley:** _Stop it!_ You’re making me confused! > **Batman:** What was it he told that one parole officer… Oh yeah, “There was only one time I ever saw Dad really happy. He took me to the ice show when I was seven.” > **Harley:** _(softly)_ Circus… He said it was the circus. > **Batman:** He’s got a million of them, Harley. ---

> [@Nava](#): > > My college class had a lot of people from the higher economic classes. There were two distinct groups: one of them was sensible people who knew money does not grow in trees, had used as one of their filters for majors “what kind of skills will my family’s business need”, and were perfectly happy to make friends with people from any socioeconomic layer and to use their money to help others if and when it was needed and accepted. The second group had never changed the roll of toilet paper, did not in fact know where the toilet paper was stocked in their multiple homes or how did it miraculously appear in place, viewed anybody in a lower socioeconomic class as “unworthy minions” and were generally a bunch of jerkfaces who could never understand why the first group refused to befriend them. > > Trump has never changed the toilet paper. As this thread has been revived, I’m wondering if you had any further insight into what influenced these folks to behave one way or the other. My guess would be how they were raised, i.e. nurture. And I also wonder, in your experience, how many of the second group were actually sociopathic bullies with such deep insecurities? 45 is much worse than just a privileged asshole, after all. ---

Gah, board ate my post. TLDR: envy and its little sister jealousy, with a heavy dose of entitlement. The envious ones are leeches if they aren’t in charge, tyrants when they are. Long answer: those from the first group (in which if I may give myself a medal I’ll include my paternal family) were raised knowing ourselves lucky: to be born in a time with good medical care, in countries with good school systems and safety networks, to strong cultures, to families which valued both education (all children had the right to get as far as they wanted, not just the firstborn or just the males or any of that crap) and freedom (parents may have been more or less subtle about trying to direct their children’s life-changing choices, but did not impose). Those in the second group, the Spanish sentence is _le deben y no le pagan_… he goes through life as if everybody is indebted to him and late in the payments. Instead of saying “gee, I’ve got it so good, I really should pay back as much as I possibly can”, they piss blood because the Joneses have a bigger TV. It isn’t just “gosh, I wish my TV was that big”, it’s “how DARE they have a bigger TV!” That anybody has a better situation is a personal offense; that the Joneses’ vacations consist of going to visit Grandma rather than of cruises, or that the Joneses don’t have children due to medical problems, or simply that they’ve bought it a bit later and TVs are now bigger is not taken into account. A lot of it is nurture: while envy et co are something people tend to more or less from birth, how you’re raised tells you if they’re desirable, acceptable, or the kind of thing that makes your Grandma say “I am reasonably sure we did not raise you like this” in tones that would make Almighty God go down on his knees and beg forgiveness. ---

I can picture Clinton cutting corners in order to get the job done. Trump cuts corners because walking around them is, like, hard. ---
