I hope a lot of people discover you and read your writing for the past two years. What may have seemed edgy then with the never-normal you described now reads like the children's Golden Books. Our current situation is more difficult because America's citizens are not all trained for the heavy combat of daily attacks on citizens by our President plus we are not prepared for the PTSD that will follow for so many. Especially hard on people who trusted the President and he tried to take everything from them and then tell them they are happy in an abusive situation.
So much to like and love here in this comment. It's important to decide when and what we can each engage with, on our own terms. Pulling back and taking time to do whatever we need to do. Comparing the relationship people have imagined they're having, by joining the cult is quite akin to finally seeing through/having enough of an abusive relationship, and finally up against the wall, feeling it's finally time to escape. For a multitude of reasons, safety, sanity, life and limb. The question is how many people will now break up with the Republican party?
Most excellent, Russell. Thank you for continuing to be a strong voice for reason and sanity in these times of purposefully corrupt, divisive, and cruel assaults on the framework and customs of our historic form of governance.
