Wow, you gave me a sudden flashback of walking home after an election viewing party in 2008 and there were literally people celebrating everywhere in the streets.
We thought we were finally leaving the darkest years of George W. Bush.

We are all passengers in Trump’s death cab The nihilism of the regime is its most terrifying attribute.

New in PN: We are all passengers in Trump’s death cab

"Trump’s adulation of Putin could hardly offer a starker warning of just how far he's willing to go, & how much more damage he may be willing to impose, to maintain his grip on power, particularly if β€” as seems likely β€” that grip begins to flag"

Maybe the true secret of the Epstein Files isn’t the vile sex stuff but that Thiel, Epstein, Russian et al worked together for years to destroy America, steal elections (remember Hillary and pizzagate) and more.

MAGAs are promoting their β€œSAVE Act” as if their lives depend on passing it. Their promotion of SAVE is *everywhere* on X, but hardly anyone is warning what it really does or calling on voters to tell their Senators to vote NO. They claim to have 50 votes. They need 60 w/ the filibuster. 51 without.

Trump & Hitler: The Dark Psychology of Power Through Jung’s Eyes (Backed by Depth Psychology)
Trump & Hitler: The Dark Psychology of Power Through Jung’s Eyes (Backed by Depth Psychology) YouTube video by Philozy

*
Carl Jung’s analysis of Adolf Hitler

was primarily psychological and symbolic,

viewing him not as an individual man,

but as a "collective" phenomenon

who embodied

the repressed desires and anxieties

of the German people.

He is committed to punishing anyone who doesn’t bow to the new kings in the new world order he hopes to establish. Right after he stomps out democracy, rule of law and safety for everyday citizensβ€”unless they worship the king. Welcome to the new 1600s.
