Quite a few people in my circle are reporting depression, stomach aches, fatigue, headaches and lots of tears since the election. I am realizing that this might be a real phenomenon unseen before. I think we may read about this physical, emotional, and spiritual disturbance in the American soul some day in the history books. (and some medical journals) I'm sure.
Could this visceral reaction to Trump’s election be a subconscious sense that something is very wrong, something is off, something is out of control? Just like the children in a dysfunctional family are we sensing that our “parents” are wholly incompetent to lead and protect us? This is more than just disappointment over an election loss. It’s more than seeing conservative policy being initiated.
We have a deeper gut wrenching reason to fear.
I just read about Trump’s meeting with CIA members. Donald insisted he had 1 to 1.5 million enthusiasts at his inauguration when all reports available put the numbers around 200 to 250 thousand. His distortion of real facts hit me in the gut. OMG, this man is mentally ill! This man is clearly delusional. Creating his own reality? That’s dangerously mentally ill!
The Emperor has no clothes! If a simple layman can see it, it must be flagrantly obvious to his handlers. I refuse to enable them, to allow them to keep pretending all is well. We must call them out at every turn. The media must courageously speak the truth. Let’s make headlines and twitter blitzes. If Trump is incompetent then his handlers are the ones responsible for the worst betrayal of the American people in history. Let’s make noise, People. Delusional, paranoid, narcissists make dangerous leaders.
