Finally, one of the most mystifying -- and creepiest -- things is how so many alleged adults, when they talk about politics, now talk about how badly they want "to be kept safe." It always sounds to me like a five-year-old who wakes up with a bad nightmare and crawls into their parents' bed and pleads: "Please keep my safe."
This is a dissertation in the making. It's peculiar, it's creepy and it's mystifying why people think this way. As PDA said a few nights ago, (paraphrasing), "By Zeus' beard! Who told you you'd ever be safe in this world?!"
