I know. It kind of makes you wonder. How much of Trump’s self is directly related to damage done by his father. Even so, it isn’t possible for me to have sympathy now. He’s cruel. And he’s a sexual predator and a liar.

Not really. I have a lot of empathy and sympathy, being a survivor of abuse, myself. Taco has been institutionalized for all of his life due to generational wealth. You can either capitulate and mimic the abuse, or, you can refuse to continue the cycle of abuse. There is always a choice.

I’d say , it is. It I’ve known those for whom they could not make the right choice, because, apparently, the damage was too deep. Whether that is true or not; what does it say about the choice of voters in 2024? Nothing good I think.

I was told by an elder that I could either continue the cycle of abuse I endured, or I could end it. I chose to end it. What is your story about abuse?

Too much to ask, too soon.

I did not write what I meant — what I meant to ask was if you agreed with what the elder said about having a choice to continue the cycle or to break it.

I wish you would have asked if we could talk thru dm’s before going ahead. I don’t know you. I don’t mind talking to you about this compelling subject. But I would prefer to know who you are first. A short bio at least.

As a general statement, yes. I was just saying that some people never learn how.
