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 Cognitive Tom Fuckery that Causes MAGA Nation to be so Stupid
Reading time: 6 minutes
Science fact: MAGA Nation goes against human nature. They tell us to do our own research, but few of us know enough to evaluate the vaccine and public health research that has concluded that vaccines, masks, and social distancing will mitigate the #COVID19 pandemic. We need to rely on experts to help us understand and decide what to do.

What’s the end game here? What do other hysterias have to teach us about how this one will end?

Reading time: 4 minutes
The Republican Party has been acting with greater callousness towards the American public. None of their politicians seem to feel guilt, empathy, or remorse for the pain, suffering, or death they cause from the pandemic, the Big Lie, or abortion laws. They are obviously psychopaths.
