Four years ago this month, I posted the 3rd of my series of interviews with Dr. Bandy Lee. In it, we noted that the felon was planting the seeds of violence to follow his loss on Election Day. I was thinking about that last night, where on another internet forum, I attempted to correct a few lies that people I know were posting. I was met by attacks by complete strangers on issues such as the FEMA response to the devastation from the hurricane.

The felon et al know that if emotional triggers are pushed, logic and reason fly out the door. I was reminded of Rubin telling me that in prison, a lie twice repeated becomes accepted fact. The maga crowd's brains are in prison, detained by outrage over things that simply are not true. I suspect that attempting to have rational discussions with them adds to good people getting tired.
