It's been five long years of blogging the Trump years. We've laughed, we've cried, we've pulled some of our remaining hair out, but we've made it. It is almost done and our democracy, nation, and souls are still largely intact. Unfortunately, we're not through.There is much more to come as we stitch ourselves back together like some kind of common Frankenstein monster as we recover from the PTSD that Trump gave us and the needless deaths and suffering from #COVID19. We also have to keep #BidenHarris honest & progressive, oppose Republican obstructionism anti-democratic tendencies, and whatever other black swans await us. All of which will be addressed using good old-fashioned snarcky, sarcasticky, profaney fun and psychological insights.

The Lincoln Project is putting out some sick burns on Trump world, but what are they really? Will they really appeal to MAGA-lite voters or are they just grifting liberal pwn the conservative dollars?

Trump’s narcissism makes him predictable and manipulable. As severe narcissistic wounds mount, narcissistic collapse is possible. His narcissism predicts what The Country’s Biggest Loser do in the face of losing the election, his business, and freedom?

Anger is now at the core of white identity. It is the foundation of grievance politics. You expect the base to be irrationally angry, but not the staffers and office holders, but you’re wrong. And it is that pervasive anger that is driving the fascism of the GOP.

Short version: As it turns out, the GOP really is deliberately screwing their base and the rest of us for their own gain. Hunh?

We know they’re lying. They know they’re lying. We know it will hurt people, even kill them. They know it will hurt people, even kill them. Yet, they lie anyway. How can that be?

Could it be that the entire debacle of secret government documents secreted away in a poolside closet at Merde-a-Lardo (Thanks, @Tengrain) be due to Trump’s executive dysfunction as this @NBCNews seems to imply?

We all KNOW that Trump was selling US secrets to China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, right? But, his diagnosis as an unproductive malignant narcissist tells us much much more.

The FBI raided Mar-a-Lago looking for top secret stolen documents Trump was selling to our enemies, and MAGA looses its mind. How does partisanship affect how we remember events?

The GOP has a concerted, well-organized, long-term, and well-funded plan to re-write our Constitution to make a more perfect minority-rule pseudo-democratic single-party autocracy. #VoteLikeUrDemocracyDependsOnIt

Election 2022 is shaping up to be the most consequential election since 2020! Democrats fear the loss of rights and our very democracy. The stakes are quite high. For Republicans, they have only their old tropes to stir up fear and angst with. Which will turn out the base?

We evolved to be storytellers. We tell ourselves story; we tell each other stories; we spend billions a year on stories. How will the story that the 6 January Select Committee affect our national narrative?

We’re blogging live at you from Paris. Where we’re doing all the Paris things like drinking wine, eating cheese and baguettes, and drinking coffee and reading real god damn books in sidewalk cafes. And, we’ve read a bunch of other stuff from the Interwebs, too.

Ever look at your favorite drunk uncle at Thanksgiving and think he seems like he’s a completely different species? Well, you’re not far off. There are real and significant differences between liberal and conservative brains, but they don’t have to define us.
