On Motherfucker's Thanksgiving screed

[Ocelot II]

3. It's obvious that TFG is a deeply unhappy man.

An emotionally-balanced person, even one with serious real-life problems, doesn't go off like that. When mentally healthy people lose elections they're disappointed, maybe even angry, but they don't lose their shit (see, e.g., Al Gore, who got screwed but didn't act like a baby about it). People get indicted for crimes, maybe fairly or maybe not, but most of the time they don't insult or send out veiled stochastic threats against the judge, the prosecutor, the court staff, possible witnesses and the entire jury pool. If they say anything at all they insist they're innocent and welcome the decision of a fair jury, and then they shut up. On holidays, current and former presidents and other elected officials issue statements of greetings and best wishes for said holiday without insulting anybody or ranting about the unfairness of whatever pickle they've got themselves in (See, e.g., presidents 1 through 44).

That's because all these other people, even the worst of the Republicans, were at least sane enough to know that whatever ass-kicking life was delivering them at the time (and life always kicks everybody's ass now and then), a holiday is just a holiday and you don't have to vomit your venom as part of the celebration. That's just nuts. But TFG is just advertising his rage and fear and mental instability and misery - which he amply deserves.
