Everyone has been put under a normalization spell, the trauma was too intense too long. I tried explaining to another liberal my fears about this term’s version of the January 6 insurrection, he looked at me like I was crazy.

They say it’s our thumbs and big brains that are our super power but I swear, our ability to pretend like everything is fine despite overwhelming evidence is something truly incredible.
Peaceful transfers of power? You had a civil war over the transfer of power a century and a half ago, and “transfers of power” via assassination are common enough for the President to be the most dangerous job in your country. The “Can’t Happen Here” is due to a constant flood of exceptionalist propaganda; it has nothing to do with your track record.

I bet you think a hundred miles is a long drive.
Oh come on. Being an arborist is more dangerous than being the president. Delivering pizzas is more dangerous than being the president.
