@wdlindsy I honestly do not think it is not just a feeling that nearly half the electorate has gone insane. There really is a mass mental illness facilitated, IMO, by the stress that many have been caused by our decades of neoliberal policies (thanks #DemocraticParty), inherent white racism and the rise of the psychopathic Trump.

In a thread yesterday, I noted that after WWII, many Americans asked how it was possible that large numbers of Germans could hear Hitler's dangerous, crazy ranting targeting minority communities and lusting after blood and still support him. -

I cannot remember exactly when, where or even the precise group at which it was aimed. Feels like decades ago and it was aimed at a SE Asian group. It was about eating neighborhood dogs. Search shows incident as recently as Jan 2024 and as early as 1989. We are just a racist country, period.
