Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

The comment by Wilco@lemmy.zip is right, but isn't complete..
There is a basic animal-psychology thing, going on, too..
We instinctively assume that validity, status, AND HOW TALL A PERSON IS, are related.
Simply sit, sometime, & see people, noticing the different manner of the overly-tall & the overly-short..
Notice that the overly-short are bumped-into more, ignored more, treated as not-valid more, etc..
Notice that the overly-tall have a kind of "inherent" confidence, on average, that most don't, simply because the way others relate to their body's "status" programmed that into them..
Some lives are born with "teflon" preventing accountability.
Some lives are born with "glue" making accusations & enmity stick on them for no apparent reason.
Trump's life is characterized by non-accountability.
HIS WHOLE LIFE he consistently gets-away-with what normals wouldn't.
Other people are consistently subject to prejudice.
This is just 1 of the kinds of diversity that happens in this world.
SANE worlds wouldn't allow the not-accountable, or not-responsible, or narcissists, or machiavellians, or gaslighters, or sociopaths/psychopaths, or nihilists, or WHATEVER happens to be harmful to the community/country, to have authority, but .. politics won't tolerate anything to interfere with narcissism/machiavellianism/psychopathy, the Dark Triad, so that's what gets to own/rule the world.
Anyways, it's karma.
His continuum/soul's previous-committing-of-meaning somehow rigged that that-soul get caught in a life exempt from accountability, and .. his soul's future is not anything I'd want to be caught-in.
Action->reaction, though: the degree to which he enforces corruption & evil in this world, after his-soul earns its purificaiton, it will be an equal-power/opposite-nature great-saint among some future world, somewhere, somewhen.
All the Western religions which hold that change isn't possible once human-incarnation dies, or which holds that ONLY HUMAN lives are lives with souls, all the rest of the lives in the universe are fake props that exist for the sake of humans..
narcissism.
Universe recycles EVERY energy contained within it, including meaning.
Getting caught in a life that has "teflon" protection against accountability doesn't prevent accoutability, it only prevents immediate accountability.
Universe's action->reaction law applies, anyways.
That is the folly of getting a "fortunate" life which consumes all one's good-fortune, while preventing-accountability, & then .. railroading one's own soul's future-someone, with all the consequences of what one had heaped on them..
shrug
Action-reaction's real.
HE is exempt from accountability, but the continuum/soul which caught in his life, isn't.
It'll learn, same as all souls learn..
From the condition of this world, it looks like souls earning purification are outnumbered by souls earning hells by a factor of .. 9:1 or something?
Whatever the ratio is, that means that the speed-of-finishing-the-soul-growing-up has to be the same ratio faster.
IF souls spend 9 lives as monsters, for every 1 life as a saint, then the saint-life must progress souls 9x as quickly, see?
But the fundamental point is simply that animal-psychology is real, & some people just have minds that instinctively society won't make accountable.
& others have minds that instinctively nobody will consider valid.
I have zero reason to believe anybody'll consider my meaning, here, to be valid.
It's educational to be deemed inherently nonvalid!
It helps break one's unconscious-presumption of "belonging" based "validity".
But .. speaking truth, properly, is good practice & habit, so it's worth it, in spite of it consistently not being worth anything to anybody in the world, because they instinctively feel it's false/lies, because it's of "me".
& that's proper!
Exactly as it's proper for humankind to be always accommodating Trump's kind: go with the animal-feelings, because being more adult than that isn't normal, right?
( only partly sarcastic: it isn't YOU/I that has to learn any such lesson, it is unconscious-mind that has to, & it is .. NOT quick to learn )
( Padmasambhava was right: have attachment to human-validity?
THEN the antidote is to get caught in a life which never has any real human-validity, & experience the prejudice, the status-based-"validity", the class-based-"validity", the muscle/body/height-based-"validity", the money-based-"validity", etc, until AVERSION has equalled & opposited the attachment-delusion, removing it!
THEN one can have detachment-from-human-"validity".
Not quite there, yet, but getting significantly closer.
I wish it had been easier to learn, but I'm woodenheaded, so it took stronger education to force the understanding in. )
