    The implication that I believe you are missing is that all humans are to some degree evil, and that goes doubly so for the type of human that finds themselves working in the world of politics.

    It’s tongue-in-cheek, and that was very well known when the phrase originally came out.

    The subtlety seems to have been lost over time.














  • Pretty much the same for me.

    I experienced a moderate amount of childhood sexual trauma, pretty much everything short of forced penetration, but because I had been environmentally groomed up until the moment I realized that it was what it was, I didn’t think much about it.

    It had been enjoyable and fun and pleasurable.

    I already knew all of these things that I suddenly remembered, but the facts surrounding them, a willing cognizance of the events, had not bubbled up to the surface.

    It was like I opened my eyes, and what I saw horrified me.

    That being said, I am somewhat resilient, even if I am a bit of a coward at times, and like, I think it gave me a much more open mind and a broader perspective on what other people have gone through.

    I’ve always been a bit of a softie, and, like, now I’m just also personally empathetic.
