I am so very fascinated by the dynamic between power, ego and authority.
MAGA is a sickness
We've all had the thought. How can people believe Trump's lies and adopt such twisted beliefs? How can they buy in to every idiotic conspiracy theory that comes along? Is it just Trump's supernatural ability to deceive everyone and make them accept his alternate reality? (In my mind this is the real Trump Derangement Syndrome.) Or is it really just Trump taking advantage of, and playing to, a condition that already existed? In her recent newsletter celebrating the 60th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, Heather Cox Richardson states >the WWII military draft revealed “the widespread physical and mental >incapacity among the young people of our nation.” About 30% of those >examined for military service ... were classified as unfit. Of those who >made the cut to join the military, about a million and a half had to be >discharged for physical or mental disability and an equal number had to be >treated for preexisting diseases or infirmities. > I found this rather shocking. You tend to think of WWII soldiers as strapping farm boys not impoverished indigents. But then I started thinking "could this be the situation we are facing today?" How else can you explain the seeming lack of intelligence of MAGA? This played right in to a theory I've had for a long time. I attribute the general lack of heath, and decline in intelligence to two main factors. Cigarettes and junk food. This in turn has led to the epidemic of obesity, which has led to en entire culture existing in their easy chairs, glued to the TV, and of course drinking lots of beer. Basically a sedated population susceptible to whatever lies they're being fed, with absolutely no discernment to sort out the truth. So how do we recover from this? One could think of more even stricter government programs to improve diet but we know that's not going to fly. Too much money to be made on junk food and cigarettes and too much value in a sedated population. I can see the problem, but offer no solutions.
