That's exactly the point. You are so angry, over stuff that you can easily ignore, that you want to kill people.
You can do useful, interesting, fun stuff, or you can be angry and frustrated for the rest of your short life on earth.

There's a clear class distinction present here: the lower class thinks of the future as a month; the middle class thinks of the future as a few years. An upper class considers generations.
Righteous anger can fuel an upper-class plan that lasts into the century, or a middle-class plan that prepares for the next election. Only the lower-class thinking makes an electoral defeat into cause for acceptance.
That doesn't explain the many rich people who are alcoholics and druggies, and who squander the family fortunes.
People of all "classes" have about the same passions.
"Upper class" people don't have a monopoly on common sense.

him being re-elected in 2020 is the duty of every US citizen who has enough sense to recognise that Trump is disasterously incompetent.
et to stand, but that would require the Republican Party to recognise that their president is an electoral liability. If they'd had that much sense th ey wouldn't have nominated him in the first place, or allowed the Tea Party fraction to put up such dismal alternatives.
Trump has record high approval ratings from his supporters, and he will be reelected in 2020. The Dems with their pathetically weak line-up of freaks for candidates know this, and that's why they're going the impeachment rout e. They have nothing and will get nowhere.
Sometimes I just tell senior citizens who I find annoying/burdensome "Yeah I'm a communist, I love Hillary! I'm an illegal immigrant, too!" so they'll go away and not ask me to fix their computer anymore.
"Some are so rabid I won't associate with them."
A man doesn't realize that was their intent. "Thank f*ck", they said.
Yes, the Dems think and say that unless they impeach him (but not convict him), they will lose the next election to him.
Trump makes mostly sensible decisions, but he is often a public embarrassment... which is not a crime.
What's shocking is the crowd of ancient criminals and lunatics that the Dems have available to run against him. Tulsi Gabbard is at least sane, but is, by good authority, a Russian asset. And not crazy enough to get the nomination anyhow.
Tribalism is sure a mess.

Nor is it intended to. A person who squanders the family fortunes is NOT upper-class, as proven by his behavior. Class is not defined by 'rich'.
When Charles IV of Spain sent off the Balmis expedition of vaccination in 1803, he was fostering the health of future generations in many Spanish colonies. That's an upper-class project, with results far beyond an individual lifetime. It's a good 'un.

IOW, NO SHIT, DIP TRACY.
What 'SUPPORTER' would NOT support?
I did not think it was possible to be dumber than a standard Trumpanzee retatard. You must be a Trumpanzee Shaman. A true sub- standard of the sub-standard.
Bwuahahahahhahaa!
There's a difference between supporting his political agenda and approving of the job he's doing. That's why there's a separate poll for approval rati ng, they don't just assume being a supporter means the voter approves of hi m. Approval is a popularity rating, supporter is a political agenda rating. Like I told you before, turn off the news. You lack the basic background kn owledge to even modestly comprehend what you're hearing.
"rage on your face with a blackjack" sounds dangerous to me.
Or did you mean to just shake it at me from a safe distance?

Beating somebody's face with a black-jack isn't necessarily fatal.
The problem here is that John Larkin wants to tell us what constitutes inte resting fun stuff, and seems to think that it is perfectly okay to ignore s erious failures in the way society is running - letting Donald Trump get el ected President, or letting atmospheric CO2 levels hit 415 ppm and leaving them free to get higher.
He sees anybody with enough sense to worry about the bigger picture as allo wing themselves to get agitated about stuff that he thinks that they can't influence.
It may be good for your short term mental health to imagine that this is th e best of all possible worlds, but as Shaw said "the reasonable man adapts himself to the world as it is, while it's the unreasonable man who tries to change, which means that all progress depends on the unreasonable man".

Being rich doesn't make you upper class. You can be born of rich parents and fail to exploit the opportunities this offers you.
But there are classier and less classy ways of coping with them.
They do tend to have access to better education. Getting stuck with Tulane is what happens to lower class people, and not moving on to a better institution is one way of staying lower class.
Common sense is what lets you discriminate between the possibilities that you know about. Getting a decent education opens your mind to a wider range of possibilities - like politicians who are better-behaved than Donald Trump.
Upper class people typically have access to more books than lower class people - there's a risk that they can get addicted to books designed to flatter their self-image (and "The Bell Curve" comes to mind) but more books often helps.

There aren't enough of them to guarantee this. 40.6% isn't a particularly h igh approval rating and quitre a few of them are too dumb to realise that e hy need to vote for him. John Larkin has never voted.
ow this, and that's why they're going the impeachment route. They have noth ing and will get nowhere.
The Dems didn't want to go for impeachment - Trump's phone call to the pres ident of Ukraine was so blatantly wrong that they didn't have any choice.
Fred Bloggs does have a problem with women, which is why he sees Elizabeth Warren as a pathetically weak freak candidate. Less prejudiced observers no te that she has clear ideas about ways in which US society could be improve d, and has already been involved in putting some of them into practice.
The contrast with Trump couldn't be starker.
Even Bernie Sanders is advocating policies that work fine in Northern Europ e. Republicans think that pointing out that many of them are socialist (whi ch they think means communist) guarantees that he won't be elected, but Don ald Trump has now spent three years damaging the rightwing brand identity.

The implication is that he isn't doing what he says he's doing, which isn't a great look n a politician.
Money does buy advertising, but advertising a creep like Donald Trump does make his many defects even more salient.
Hillary Clinton had more funding than Donald Trump, but it didn't win her the 2016 election. The Russians spent much less with their social media propaganda in the swing states that actually gave Trump his electoral college majority.
Now that the rest of the world has had a good chance to observe how dangerous Trump is, lots of countries are likely to follow the Russian example in 2020 but apply their expertise against him.

Sick and idle fantasies. The person whose life you are actually ruining is yourself.
-- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc lunatic fringe electronics
John Larkin's sick and idle fantasy is that anthropogenic global warming isn't happening.
He isn't the only dangerous lunatic to espouse this idea - the people who are making serious money out of it spend some of that money to encourage gullible twits like him to think that way too.
Since the human population crash that they are risking won't happen in this generation, they are not ruining their own lives, but they are putting an enormous number of lives at risk.
It's irresponsible idiocy, but too long term to generate the amount of execration it deserves. I try to fill the execration gap, but I'm no Phil Allison.
