    To look at a much bigger picture ...........

    Imagine Putin or Xi Jinping watching all this childish, infantile behavior here in the U.S. where SOME of us have made a life's mission out of calling other people names, assaulting other people, stoking hate and division, threatening other people - or actually committing violent acts - degrading others ............ all against fellow Americans. Putin and Xi must shiver in utter delight at the self-destruction they're witnessing. They must have constant, raging boners watching the U.S. - us - implode on ourselves. The DREAM of both Putin and Xi Jinping is to see the fall of the U.S. and all Western countries. With their publicly-displayed, hand-shaking, promised military and economic cooperation, Russia and China must be sipping fine champagne watching Western TV outlets and social media broadcast the idiotic, moronic, childish, infantile behaviors of American citizens.

    "Karens" come in all shapes, sizes, & genders. The very biggest loud-mouths who insist on "out-toughing" another person(s) - may soon find themselves the victims of much harsher, more violent outsiders who will forcefully impose THEIR wills on those "tough-guy" loudmouths.

    " A house divided against itself cannot stand." -------- Jesus .............. ( for all those Bible-thumping, self-righteous, right-wing, divisive, hate-filled, bigoted "Christians." )

    Where do I start?
    I think your perspective is significant and necessary. There's too much competitive, counterproductive effort exerted between "us" and "them." When a so called leader of such a big, powerful and important country like the United States insists on how the opposite political party is so wrong, it really has the potential to make that opposite party resentful. This is not to imply the opposite party doesn't do anything near that either. "Deplorables" was unfortunately defined as a word of division among other things.
    All this projecting and gaslighting is making our country worse.
    And why is this happening? Follow the money. You have elected officials holding high office suggesting some largely debunked medicine is better than that which was purposely developed to combat infection of COVID 19, or that cancer is contageous. Do these politicians actually believe this utter crap? Not on their lives! They feed their constituents bullshit to keep them in the dark (and maybe buy their snake oil). Don't forget to blame some stuff on minorities!
    And yeah, as a Christian, I am particularly offended, disgusted and disappointed some choose to use the good Name of the Lord in order to advance their evil agenda. The gayest black Muslim couple is literally nothing compared to their vitriol and hate in their hearts.

    On the subject of 'karens' and the 'don't you know who I am' syndrome, I have to confess I really enjoy meeting these people, i get a real buzz out of putting them firmly in their place and pointing out to them that contrary to their own belief that they're someone, they're actually just a nobody, lol. I've had a couple of interesting experiences over the years with people with 'attitudes', one of them was actually a famous boxer, I won't name him here but I'll tell you the story anyway.
    One day I was working at a large venue is Sheffield England that held lots of events, concerts. boxing matches and other things that attracted large crowds, we were installing some equipment and in order to maintain safety had closed off a section of the walkway meaning that to access certain parts of the arena, you had to walk all the way around the large circular arena imagine it being like a clock and you enter at the twelve position, instead of being able to go clockwise and anti-clockwise, because of our closure you had to go clockwise.
    We'd closed it between the 10 and 11 positions, and this 'celebrity' wanted to get to the 9 position, but didnt want to walk all the way around, he entered the closed off area and attempted to get to where he was going, it wasn't happening, I stopped him and politely pointed out that he'd entered a restricted area and had moved several barriers to enter. His attitude stank from the get go, why should he walk all the way around when it was quicker going the way he'd come? Despite him getting more and more irate when he realised he wasn't going to get his own way I kept my cool, until the point when he came out with the line 'don't you know who I am?' I actually didn't know who he was, a boxer I mean, not that it would have made any difference, he'd got so wound up and thrown a strop that I'd begun to get annoyed. I drew my self up to my full height and squared up to him 'yeah I know who you are mate, you're a pain in the arse, you've been told to go back the way you came and you're about two minutes from experiencing a severe arse kicking, now GO! '.
    Realising he wasn't getting anywhere he slunk off back the way he'd come, about half an hour later one of my colleagues arrived, 'hey theres a big black American sports car outside with a load of fit birds around it, lets go have a look' he told me, I said it was time for a break and as we walked to the car park I told him about my run in with the idiot just before he arrived, we arrived at the car park and lo and behold theres this guy I'd had the run in with earlier, it was his car and the birds were all over him, 'oh god, thats that idiot I threatened to punch earlier' I told my mate. 'him, you threatened to belt him, don't you know who he is?' he asked, 'oh don't you start, course I know who he is, an obnoxious arrogant prick who's full of his own importance' I replied feeling somewhat irritated. ' actually thats, (mentioned the guys name) the champion boxer, I cant believe you threatened to bash him' he exclaimed. I just laughed, 'champion boxer or not, he's still arrogant and obnoxious and I'd have still kicked his arse, he might be good in the ring, but I'll lay odds he can't street fight.
    Life is full of people who think they're more important than anyone else and usually they aint, we are all valuable in one way or another, after all if it wasn't for the humble man or woman who cleaned the toilets in the large factory then it wouldn't operate and then the high powered owners wouldn't have all their wealth would they!
    I always remember the famous saying, 'whether you're a king or a lowlystreet sweeper, sooner or later we all dance with the reaper' , just about sums it up I think.

    The only thing worse than a Karen is a Karen on drugs

    Why Karen? It's like calling someone a Crazy Cat woman. Giving the cats a bad rap!

    I know a very nice lady named Karen. and she just jokes about it.

    I just wonder how Karen happen to be the name, why not Barbie or Kathy? How it all started? We all know how let's go Brandon started, but I never knew about the Karen deal.

    Remember a few years ago when people started posting pictures and videos of white women calling the police on otherwise mundane activities of black people, like having a cookout on Sunday, swimming in the hotel pool, or trying to get into their apartment, checking into a B&B, hanging out at the coffee shop, buying a house, well the name Karen (which stands for white privilege) just emerged out of the carnage. It could have been any random name.
