What you need to exhibit when you need to portray an image scarier than a rabid, urinating, maskless bat from Wuhan singing in the choir, an image to rival that of the shit arranged for your consideration , you need ONLY be "Trump-shit crazy", a SOLID 11 dialled up on the crazy knob.
If a husband "pokes the bear" to make a point to his jealous wife, he had better peg his dial at 11, "Trump-shit crazy" if he expects to even be noticed as being "upset".
A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.
Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.
