I agree! Garbage Person. Created a garbage office of stepford administrators.

So…here’s a lesson we all should have learned by now:

Factor 1: If a bully is/can be charming and attractive and spouts a plausible line of bullish*t, there’s a huge chance they’ll get away with their behavior. Usually for life.

Factor 2: If the victim(s) are less attractive, or have less power, access to information/people, money, or options to recourse, or consequences to pursuing justice will severely impact their ability to work in their field - and let’s face it, this is always the case, because that is how predators choose victims in the first place - this is a second factor in enabling the success of the bully.

Third: combine 1 & 2, and it’s a hat trick. The likable one with money, looks and charm has historically won: people pity the school playground “loser” who got picked on, and who reported the terrible abuse…but…we all went to school, and know how the story ends.

The teachers/adults all distance themselves from it because they don’t want to be blamed, and the kids who stood around, watching and laughing acted like that wasn’t “really”participating. The ones who felt like it was only a matter of luck that it wasn’t them stfu, and maybe, occasionally, the bully and his/her toadies got a slap on the wrist. If something serious happened, everyone acted like it was just one very bad student.

It’s the same here.

The Governor had a squad of bullies, many of them women, who were aware of his MO and sought out fresh meat and terrorized other women. They used fear and shame, and honed in on appearance and used aging & fat-phobia as cudgel.

I’m so sad and so angry thinking about the Judas kisses of Andrew Cuomo.
