Trump has dominated the media for decades as an abusive, bullying megalomaniac. His theatrics captivate audiences, his torrent of shock jock blabber and lies overwhelms our ability to bring any reason into play. He doesn't allow you to think, only to feel. If you agree with him you feel rage. If you don't agree with him you feel steamrolled and helpless. Like children of a violent, abusive father the media cringes under its bed, paralyzed with fear of violence enabled by fear of abandonment. In counseling there is a saying, Every family is a dictatorship controlled by the most dysfunctional member. And so it seems is America's political situation.
