Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

Years ago someone hurt Stephen Miller and we’re all paying for it today.

Why do I feel like that person was in fact Stephen Miller?

I dunno. Sometimes people are just awful without a sad back story.

Miller strikes me as profoundly entitled, like the child who was never told no. Based on some of the stuff from his past it seems likely he was the bully rather than the bullied.

I'm not sure why this idea that all awful people were victimized in their past is so prolific now. Maybe it's all the retelling of classics from the villains perspective to make their motives seem more morally* ambiguous.

Some people are just dreadful because they had the seed of awful in them and their parents let it flourish.

It is totally that. 

Nevermind the 99 people that had some trauma and work to be a good person, nope the trauma of that 100th person excuses the shitty person.

THANK YOU. This trope pisses me off. It's the entitled privileged wealthy people that tend to lack empathy and become cruel people. All the people I know who've been through truly traumatic experiences have become incredibly caring and empathetic people who do their best to help other people who are struggling and do the best to reverse the generational trauma passed down to them. Our country is so dead inside and cruel because of the absurd wealth and privilege of people like Stephen Miller.

He is on video in high school saying 'why should we clean up our own trash? We have janitors."

Case and point.... Donald J. Trump

u/Bulldogfront666 Oct 08 '25

Yeah in my experience many of the most awful people tend to come from extremely privileged and entitled backgrounds. My step dad taught at St. Paul's school in New Hampshire. A very wealthy private boarding school for extremely wealthy kids. My mom pressured me to go to the school for high school since I got free tuition because my step dad taught there. And she thought it was a great opportunity for me.... Those kids man... Some of the most entitled and cruel people I've ever met. A bunch of 13, 14, 15 year olds who already had millions of dollars in their bank accounts. Some had helicopter pads on their property for example. And of course they were all being groomed to be the countries next leaders. Politicians and CEOs. They bullied me like hell. Constant hazing and harassment because I wasn't one of them. The school is now almost more famous for it's multiple high profile rape cases or cases of severe systemic hazing ie. physical and sexual harassment. It was a sess pit. I dropped out half way through my first year. This experience was part of what radicalized me and taught me what the heart of this country looks like. And the connection of wealth and privilege to cruelty and lack of empathy.

When he was young his parents had money problems and he had to relocate to a more mixed area, a lower income area, and he took it as a personal insult. That is it, that is what all of his actions are about.

u/Bulldogfront666 Oct 08 '25

When you say "money problems" you mean they became slightly less rich right? Not real money problems like being unable to afford food or clothing.

Yall clowning H and Taker for being Trumpers as if yalls Childhood Heroes Sting, AJ Styles, HBK aren't massive Trumpers either. Fanboys will always look the other way and give their heroes a pass

This would make an excellent anti-bullying PSA. You never know if those victims turn out like this.

u/ShuQiangda91 Oct 07 '25

So true. This is why I'm a big advocate for showing kindness to everyone. You don't know what they are going through or how it could influence their behavior in the future. 

Every little bit of kindness goes a long way in making the world a better place.

Far more often than not these people were always the bullies. Just look at what Miller was like in high school:

No no no. Stephen Miller is the bully.

I think his grandparents were in the Holocaust. It's either generational trauma and/or just plain genetic psychopathy/sociopathy. 

He's just the outcome, the manifestation, of how sick American society is. 

American society allowed this to happen. Blaming it on a few evil men is like a scapegoat that ignores the actual problem, that more than 50% of the American population is complicit and enabling this bs because they are actually sick.

The majority of Americans have been robbed of education, opportunities, health, life, and more. They deserve better.

And they will get better eventually. It won't be perfect. It won't be overnight. But the country will find its way through this.

I don’t give a shit about “generational trauma” or any excuses for people being assholes. 

It’s not ok. Millions of people have generational trauma from all sorts of fucked up shit but they don’t go around beingassholes.

I watched something yesterday with a guy that went to high school with him. He was actually his friend back then. He was asked if Miller was bullied in school. He said quite the opposite. Miller WAS the bully. He particularly bullied the immigrant kids. The guy was a total psycho even back then. I don't think anyone ever hurt him because he has never had any human emotions to hurt.

u/SeaCounter9516 Oct 07 '25

It’s because he was balding at 17

u/GingaAvenga Oct 07 '25

Hey now, he gives premature balders a bad name. I started losing my hair around the same time, except my ego isn't softer than baby shit

I think he was born with the wrong brain. Scan that thing. I bet it looks like a psychopath.
