Athletes speaking out against Trump and his bullshit are the real heroes and role models. Tomorrow, Patriots can prove they're true patriots against Trump's ICE crap. Seahawks can show they're real 12s defending freedom like Seattle fights censorship. GO HAWKS.

5️⃣ institutions can't handle people who belong on paper but not in practice. who see through performances. holden sees stradlater's "secret slob" reality under the perfect surface. trump punishes anyone who sees past the performance.

4️⃣ holden inserts himself everywhere but isn't comfortable in his own skin. when you see the lies clearly, no amount of performing fixes it. you either keep faking it or accept you don't belong.

3️⃣ holden's friendly with people but doesn't actually connect. that's the isolation tactic. you're surrounded by MAGA family members but completely alone because real connection requires honesty they won't allow.

2️⃣ holden tap dances in the bathroom. performs "i'm the governor's son!" jumps on people in half nelsons. constant performance to fill the space where connection should be. trump's cult demands the same exhausting performance.

1️⃣ holden belongs at prep school on paper. comes from money, wears the right clothes, goes to the right school. but he doesn't belong there at all. trump's doing the same thing - making you perform loyalty or accept you'll never truly belong.

trump's isolation machine 🧵
