The lull before... what ?

Hey, hey, what’s that sound…

Is this the sounds of silence ?

We’re at a precipitous moment in time and history

( some good discussion in thread as well )




As a psychologist, I feel as though millions of entranced Americans are strangely uncomfortable and they don't know why. It's cognitive dissonance. Most are in too deep to adopt new direction yet. So they're nervously waiting to be told what they’re supposed to think and believe.

Don't expect this to resolve in a major way immediately. Cults have high resistance levels. Investment in Trump is large. Some WILL peel off, but you won't see it. IF and WHEN the GOP decides to pivot from Trump, they'll try to preserve both the Party ... and the echo chamber.
