    Millions of adults never mature mentally. There is now an entire political party of adults with the minds of children.

    You can guess which party by looking for tue signs: avoids responsibility, poor emotional regulation, lack of accountability, impulsivity, difficulty to commitment, self-centered, black and white thinking, difficulty handling conflict, stagnation of personal growth.

      For age, the way I put it is: the only thing you can determine for sure from a persons age is how many times the earth circled the sun since they were born. Age says nothing about maturity.

        I use this quote to define an adult from a child, seems fitting with these guys:

        an adult is a person who understands when it is appropriate to be childish

        I have used this definition for a decade, and it has always shown to be accurate.

        GOP guys are stuck in perpetual cycle of being a teenager who decide to throw out all their old toys, because they are a “man”, and “men don’t play with toys”.

          They’re like 6 year olds who’re told they need to be big boys to go to school so they do it. But at night they secretly cry and want to play with their toys.

        For real. You can be 90 years old with 90 years of experience and learning, or you can be 90 years old, having lived the same year over and over for the last 70 of them, like that obese orange fuck, Donny 2 Inches.
