All of those symptoms of PTSD are also recognizable, some closer to home than I’d like to admit. I’m trying to keep a measure of critical thinking in the mix {I can hear the MAGA telling us WE are ‘drinking the KoolAid’ by putting our trust in vaccines and mainstream medicine and liberal government ideology … I’m reluctant to tell people that I had a allergic reaction to a pneumonia vaccine, huge hives and itchy, but it went away, for fear of feeding an anti-vax reaction … Simple life experiences take on oversized implications, and everything is suddenly so FRAUGHT!
I want to see the election as a hopeful event that MIGHT get that awful man out of our lives.
I am still at a loss to understand HOW and WHY such a blatant clown has arisen to such heights. Too many people give HIM the credit for getting himself there. I don’t think so. He’s too much of a jerk to have managed his own rise and time-at-the-top.
In much the same way his father put a net under him when he started out in the family business—rescuing him time and again—other entities have elevated the Celebrity Trump that people believed in, based on his faux-reputation as a mogul built by reality TV. Gad, to trace the trajectory of people’s ideas about that man from the idiot who stuck his name in giant letters on everything he touched, to the clown who made such an ass of himself talking to Howard Stern on the radio, to the guy The Apprentice pretended had a nose for business…
Then he got the bright idea he might run for office, and the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society knew they had an excellent foil on which to project their ideas of taking the country back to some mythical Golden Age that Trump’s Make America Great Again alludes to.
A Golden Age — right. Like the century before the New Deal, for example. It’s not a Golden Age they genuflect before. It’s the Golden Calf that their own Christian Religion reviles, but the cultists still kneel.
Thom!!! You’re scaring me …
