I also have an autistic man, my son, living with me. I know the word "retarded"
gets a terrible wrap, but it seems to be a clinical word for the problem with my
son. He is a bit slow and that is what retarded means (like retarding the timin
g on your older car). I don't fault mature people for using what was a common de
cent term in the past. It was not derogatory. I remember that the ARC organizati
on's name was an acronym for "Association of Retarded Citizens". No stigma until
jerks started saying "retard" or just "'tard" to people who, like my son, doesn
't have capacity to understand that he is different from others.
I suppose people will have a sorts of reasons to vote for particular people, but
I think "using the right words" is a pretty shallow criteria for a person taske
d with lots of authority and power. "Pretty" or flattering speech is usually a s
ign that someone is trying to manipulate you, as Harris is trying to flatter vot
es away from a proven business leader and a former government executive who runs
on his record. Kamala whispers "sweet nothings" in so many ears and people seem
to like that, as if they were working with a whore as opposed to a potential pr
esident. I am not looking for a good lay, I am looking for a president.
For all his trash talking, Trump is a man who is offering to sacrifice (again) a
successful career to take on a political war to solve systemic problems that th
e crony government (swamp) profitably ignores. He points out that Kamala and Bid
en could have worked to tackle problems for four years that she now says "this i
s what I will do".
Those are lines every "leader" for decades has spewed to pander for votes and on
which few have ever delivered - they get their office, enrich their friends, pu
nish their enemies, and ignore the people who voted for them. Kamala is playing
the same old game of saying what more voters want to hear (using "acceptable" wo
rds) and her record is to do nothing other than support her friends and benefact
ors and hide Biden. Harris is just another "good ol' politician" that just happe
ns to be a multy-culty woman (another way to get a few more votes from low-infom
ation voters).
It is depressing to see the criteria people use to choose their leaders.
