Nice newsletter John. I'm also trying to figure it out. How is someone elected not once but twice? I've written a few things about it and basically see that Trump is following Hitler's playbook - the lies start with innuendo, spread by desire, solidify with slogans and names, are then bolstered by fame, and finally stabilized by fear. History tries to teach us, but people can be fooled. I've learned from your podcasts that this 'movement' began decades ago. It has now been ramped up beyond control by Trump, and they know it is easier to fool someone than it is to convince someone that they have been fooled.<br />
So, here we are. How bad does it have to get before those who have been hoodwinked begin to see the light? Hopefully the No Kings protests are a good sign of things to come.
