Usually working their ass off in a blue collar for some plutocrat who abuses them, subjected to country music all day long. Almost makes me feel bad for them.
Same goes for most ordinary non-shitbags.
The point is, just because one shitbag gets away with it, that shouldn’t motivate you to also become a shitbag.
I hope you don’t think this is just a recent thing…

It actually seems like it feels pretty great. The downside is you’re probably some degree of sociopath or other disorder. But I’m neither qualified nor experienced to diagnose.
Maybe, but neither Trump nor Melania look like they feel great.
