  • I still can’t get mad over someone voting with their morals. The only difference between a Harris and Trump vote was white Americans being treated how anyone who wasn’t a WASP inside and outside the country has been treated by America for 60+ years. Especially since she’s a memebr of the smallest voting block in the country. Her protezt vote was basically meaningless.

    You can try and blame those who didn’t vote strategically but the blame lies on the more than 50% of the largest voting demographic(white ppl) voting for a racist/rapist.

    Ask yourself why white America would rather vote for a bigot instead of blaming her











  • From a psychologist’s perspective, a fear of clowns often starts in childhood; there’s even an entry in the psychologists’ bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM, for a fear of clowns, although it’s under the umbrella category of a pediatric phobia of costumed characters (sports mascots, Mickey Mouse). “It starts normally in children about the age of two, when they get anxiety about being around strangers, too. At that age, children’s minds are still developing, there’s a little bit of a blend and they’re not always able to separate fantasy from reality,” explains Dr. Brenda Wiederhold, a veteran psychologist who runs a phobia and anxiety treatment center in San Diego that uses virtual reality to treat clients.

    Most people, she says, grow out of the fear, but not everyone—perhaps as much as 2 percent of the adult population will have a fear of clowns. Adult clown phobics are unsettled by the clown’s face-paint and the inability to read genuine emotion on a clown’s face, as well as the perception that clowns are able to engage in manic behavior, often without consequences
