How can individuals and small groups insulate ourselves from the escalating madness of Trump and his insane courtiers? At least enough self-protection that we don’t go mad as well.
I used to think that it was a lack of political acumen by major media but right now I think with each piece that is written, reviewed by the editors and published it’s like someone on a high wire… How far can we push the envelope on this one before we take a deep dive? Their jobs are on the line and many of the large networks surrendered in advance or they paid huge amounts of money to remain in business.
To read something today from the mainstream press that actually expresses truth and honesty about the subject matter is like an uncommon commodity.
Thank you Jim. This is brilliant. As always. The sophisticated psychological piece is needed and you supply it. Just want to add that on top of that- there’s the old school psych stuff, the group dynamics. We humans are hard wired not to go against the “group.” I truly do not understand why everyone is not citing and quoting your columns. You know the big picture in depth, more than anyone IMHO
I do think it’s taking a while for this shit to truly sink in. It’s sinking. In me at least. I’m protesting more, reaching out more. To the barricades!
This is exactly what von trump and Co want! Then he will declare the state of emergency and bury elections and the Constitution, deep deep in the ground. Beware what you wish for. Where are the dems btw ?
Thank-you again, Jim. I look forward to your Substack every day. It really helps me when I begin to doubt my own sanity.
Speaking of Bongino....

Thank you, Jim, for your unflinching honesty.
