I am channeling my inner Scottishness today. In conversation with a friend, "I think we have a c*ntification problem in modern society at the top...we promote c*nts to leadership roles and this isn't new but the stupidity and cruelty in the age of Trump has gone off the charts."
Before it was just about enabling c*nt behaving people who might have known a little about what they were talking about. Now we are enabling stupid c*nts.
I don't think the word "asshole" cuts it here.
