Everything that is wrong with the GOP can be explained in these 4 charts

The principles of Abuse

The failures of racism

The Special Snowflake chart

The Virtue/Abuse Quadrant chart

redloraine.wixsite.com/website/post...

A chart of an asshole - each pucker of the rose represents another spoke on the wheel of abuse - it includes things like abuse, exploitation, transphobia, misogyny, sexual assault

n The inability to tolerate discomfort
n No self awareness
n A lack of a strong internal sense of self that isn’t rooted in hate
n Which creates a lack of selfactualization outside of racist tropes

n Not being able to selfsoothe
n An inability to sort out general information using a basic logic familiarity
n No distinction between external fears & internal biases
n A difficulty in changing perspective which translates into being trapped

n Which all creates
a self identify rooted in the persecution
of others
n Internally understanding
these actions as wrong means that they will always doubledown because to do otherwise
would dismantle
their entire self

Repeating this process is unsustainable.
Come away from racism. Work on all of these faults
within yourself. Learn how to change your brain.

1. Always distort the truth to make you seem favorable and frame the target of abuse as unfavorable.
2. Always misrepresent your motives to be beneficial while hiding the principles of abuse that are being used in whatever action is taken.
3. Frame any call to responsibility or consequences as invalid, and deny, deflect, distract, and attack the source of those calls.
4. Always promise what the targets of manipulation want, frame what you are doing as delivering what they ask for, and then do whatever you want anyway.
5. Undermine any circumstances that stand in your way for example if a wilderness area you want to exploit is pristine, get in and make an oil spill then there is nothing left to protect; or if you want to destroy public education install an abuser, destroy the agency, point at it as a failure of government and then implement your private education plan for profit.
6. Isolate the targets of abuse by dismantling support systems, cutting off access to resources, and opposing anything that could bolster the targets of abuse.
7. Always take the best and leave the least possible for the targets of abuse such as funneling PPE dollars to military contractors while heath care workers use trash bags for protection.
8. Always use unfavorable circumstances to your advantage and if possible, turn circumstances against the targets of abuse such as allowing COVID to ravage blue states while funneling dollars to red states.
9. Always blame the victim for anything bad that happens to them or anything that you do to them.
10. Always pretend to be the victim in any situation, co-opt any symbols or methods your targets use for selfdefense.
11. Never allow scrutiny of your actions and always reject any investigations.
12. Use high control, propaganda, fear, threats, and manipulation to manage the victims of abuse.
13. Never admit to any wrong.
14. Whatever you want to do is the only thing that is important and any suffering you cause along the way is inconsequential or ev…

A quadrant chart is a type of data visualization that divides a scatter plot into four quadrants, often used to identify trends, patterns, and relationships between two variables.
THIS chart drafts the intersections of virtue and abuse - showing the most and least of each. The republican government exists in the most abuse and least virtue of the chart

I have no one to talk to about my reflection. Yes, my life struggles are my own doing. The thing I can't talk about this, is due to the fact that it sounds made up.

Look, I like dark romance and I do have... my interest. I have been with this man for 4 years. We are the same age and we are still..

Para firmar el pacto de la vergüenza solo hace falta tener muy poca vergüenza.

Mazón se abraza a los negacionistas y Feijóo lo respalda.

🚨 #CrueltyFree science is at risk! The govt promised to end cruel toxicity tests on animals—but is failing to fund our only non-animal research centre, the Canadian Centre for Alternatives to Animal Methods.

Congress’ job isn’t to write a blank check to the President. Our job is to pass a bill that directs the President to fund the programs and priorities that matter most to the American people.

If a bully is paying you and helping you win elections, then of course you will side with the bully and blame the victim for defending themselves.

Twitter rn is proof that the male loneliness epidemic is a scam.
A hoax.
A ruse.
These men are cruel, belittling, petty, mean, and proudly abusive to women.
They aren't lonely.
They are evil.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. 💙

I started being regularly published when I was 25. I didn't make my first dollar writing until I was 30. I didn't sell my first novel or screenplay until I was 35. Many of you hadn't even heard of anything I'd written until I was over 40.

You have time. There is no expiration date on writers.
