    This guy is such a little dweeb.

    I wonder how many swirlies he got in junior high. Seeing him being super douchey and “edgy” in that video on the bus tells you everything you need to know about this asshat.

      You don’t think this guy was as deeply embedded with bullies as possible?

      Have you seen his school rant about leaving messes for janitors because it’s their job to clean?

      That’s not the style of a weird autistic kid being bullied, he has just been empowered in his really wormy style of evil and privilege.

      I hate how much I’m seeing the current administration used for the argument “we need to bring bullies back” when the bullies are often the wealthy privileged who look down on the weird peasants and their lack of successful social signaling.

        Yeah, what is it with this trend lately of disparaging the victims of bullying, blaming fascism on the bullied victims?

        The fascists are the bullies.

        And even if people want to say that bringing back bullying would prevent fascism, that still makes no sense, because if you honestly believe that bully victims become fascists, then wouldn’t that mean bullying people just creates more fascists?

        But the reality is, the bullies were always the privileged jerks or dodged accountability while projecting and casting blame on anyone who stands up to them. Those bullies grow up to become fascists.

        Anyone who says “bring back bullying” needs a solid punch in the face along with every other bully. Maybe that will reduce the number of people who grow up to become fascists.

          We use the word “bullying” because the real word gets your post removed. Play the fuck along.

            No. If you’re advocating for bullying, then you might as well be a fascist. You can’t walk like a fascist and talk like a fascist, and then claim you’re not really a fascist just because you’re not one of those fascists.

            There are no good fascists. And there are no good bullies. And I won’t play along with your attempts to normalize either of those things.

              Moral relativist cowardice. Performative high-road bullshit. Neither makes you a good person.

                Taking a principled stance on something isn’t cowardice, nor is it performative.

                And I don’t care whether you think I’m a good person or not, because you advocate for bullying. You can burn in hell with the rest of the fascists for all I care.

                  Okay. When they’re loading you and the people you care about into a van or onto a train, you can comfort everyone by telling them about your principles.

                  They’ll thank you, really.

        Honestly, when I see him? I could easily see him getting bullied in the school I went to, at least. It could be that Miller benefited from some kind of protection afforded him by either the status of his parents or teachers/staff watching out for him, I have no idea.

        In the school I went to? If some dipshit went and made that speech, with that demeanor and self-entitled attitude? I could easily see him getting aggressively bullied later, and it wouldn’t be “cyberbullying”, either, LOL.

        I am pretty sure that most of his cabinet and Pumpkinhead himself were terrible bullies, but I do wonder if certain people like Miller never learned any lessons about writing checks with his mouth that his ass couldn’t cash.

        I do wonder if someone who wasn’t white banged some girl he liked and he never got over it. He seems like a gigantic pussy with a huge chip on his shoulder about foreigners and non-whites.

      Notable that he had a debate in high school on how it shouldn’t be the responsibility of students to clean up their trays in the cafeteria. He argued that the school should hire people to clean up after them. He has always been like this.

        “Hi, I’m Stephen Miller, some of you may or may not know who I am,” Miller says, smiling. “We’re not talking about that right now. I’m the only candidate up here who stands out. I would say and I would do things that no one else in their right mind would say or do. Am I the only one who is sick and tired of being told to pick up our trash when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us?
