Is there a term for when emotionally abusive people say that their insults are criticisms that they say out of love/concern

Posting accomplishes lots of things. It has broken more brains more thoroughly than ergot poisoning, for example

Even if you are in a solid blue state, please turn out and vote for Biden or whoever the Democratic candidate ends up being. It’s important to not only win but show democratic legitimacy by a wide margin. Or to continue to establish Trump’s democratic illegitimacy to mobilize against.

My guess is that Trump knows very little about P25 *and* it will be the blueprint for his administration. He’s famously bored by policy. He’ll appoint these people because they’re loyal. They’ll then go to work on the plan while he grifts, golfs, and gives two-hour speeches at rallies.

Trump: I don't know anything about Project 2025 Here is a list of all the Trump officials who authored the Project 2025 blueprint, Mandate for Leadership. 25 of 36 were part of the Trump administration. project2025istheocracy.substack.com/p/project-20...

I have thoughts on this www.liberalcurrents.com/contributing...

The very worst thing about social media, including this site and the Bad Site and every other site, is the illusion that by posting on it you’re accomplishing anything.

Boom. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Opinion | Trump’s Impact on World Affairs Could Be Even Stranger Than You Thinkwww.politico.com The dollar will decline, Europe will rise, and Asia will nuclearize.

The entire game of making right wingers “patriots” and liberals “America haters” is about gerrymandering what you’re allowed to be proud of in American history and what counts as hatred. Pride in The New Deal doesn’t count and hatred of immigrants and America’s largest cities doesn’t count either.

Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

Why I Don't Vote (OK, I Do Vote, but I Would Like to Discourage You, NY Times Reader, For Doing So For Some Reason) Via @bubbaprog.ilovecitr.us

Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

"'Why does anyone vote?' The answer cannot be that we believe that by doing so, we will influence the outcome of an election." I thought that myself 25 years ago, and thought I knew better than people who wrote for the New York Times. Today the Times is printing that idea, but I now know it's wrong.
