I give that names like worrying, self-reflection, doubt, analysis, and reading.
I believe it is practiced in a widespread way by the type 1
I have enough "Trumpian" friends to know that without exception they
have tried to frame this response as an attempt to undermine "the
peaceful transition of power".
I throw two things squarely in their face:

Hi Marcus,
All good thoughts. Thanks! Just a few things hopefully that can
constructively add to the discussion ...
There is research in this area.
The kind of "rebooting" I am thinking about in this context would not be
chemically or surgically induced. It would be a Hebbian-oriented *menta
Same in LA. Lots of both women and men.

Even in the sleepy little town of Santa Fe, the streets were packed with
demonstrators. Of course, women of many ethnicities -- some of them were
infirm and shouldn’t have been out in the wind and snow. Lots of men, young
adults, and children too.
Yes, many women and men, all ages and races. I was there in DC.

On CNN I saw mainly women. There was also an interview with senator Cory
Brooker from New Jersey who promised to fight against any attempts "to grab"
the constitution.
What you say about turning back the clock is exactly what worries me. Napoleon,
Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler and Mao, they all trie
Good afternoon Steve, Marcus, and Eric,
First off, thanks guys for so generously chiming in on this thread.
I will try to respond in kind, but there is so much to unpack--especially
in Eric's response--that I will attempt to keep it, perhaps
uncharacteristically, brief. Not promising ... 😊

Make no mistake, Jochen, there were many men marching in the crowds.
The angry white men are generally older, high school graduates or less, though
not necessarily in poverty, who see the world around them changing, and imagine
that Trump can turn back the clock: coal mines will reopen, old-tim
I have watched the large demonstrations of the women's march today on CNN, it
is pretty impressive. Finally some protests, why did it take so long? It looks
like there is still some hope.
It feels a bit like an American Civil War, not between south and north, between
Confederate and United State

I have to say I accept or agree with the idea of a sitting President (or
any high official) having close access to their most trusted advisors,
whether they are family or friends. It is only natural IMO and in
principle will allow them to do a better job. I understand the

Yes I've heard of it. The wife is different from a son-in-law, though. Maybe he
depends on him because he fears he is not adequate for the job and knows that
his grandiosity is just an illusion.

Actually Jochen, this one is squarely on the Clintons. When Bill appointed
Hillary to a White House task force back in the early 1990s, this went
through the court system. The judges in that case ruled that the law
applied to Cabinet appointments and paid positions within the larger
government, but
First it was not clear what *-ism mix it will be - authoritarianism, nepotism,

which *-ism will it be?
