Yet, I do wish something would go viral on the state of affairs at the top of our sad country. I remember countless times late in the night of what ever ED I was attending when an addict would present in crisis and his family and friends would gather round insisting he “is just depressed,” his “outlandish behavior is not usual” his “violence is just because…” At times it seemed that the surrounding co-dependents were worse than the addict.
Yes, Trump is after cash. Yes, he is after attention. Yes, his still amazingly huge numbers of followers are still enthralled in his delusion. But we as a country don’t have to swallow it.
This is power addiction. If it could be called out as such and the topic could become at least part of the story I would feel that, at least, we are doing our jobs as citizens.
Sadly, I have not personally cultivated a voice loud enough to make that happen.
Sorry if my tone is too much or inappropriate for this venue. It is frustrating to watch this continue to happen.
No need to apologize for your tone, you are among friends and those of like mind. I agree with your identification of the current situation with the behaviors of addiction and thank you for your articulate post.
So far, I haven't seen any tone policing herein. We are drawn here because we need intellectual stimulation and a certain amount of validation from like minds that we are not completely delusional in our take on the condition of our country and the world.

Nope. We’re right there with you.
You hit the nail on the head as addiction to power is djt’s vice.

Agreed
I agree with you. ☮️
Just curious: What is an "ED"?
Emergency department
I would assume that it refers to a hospital Emergency Department (the contemporary term for an ER).
Thank you for that clarification.
