(6,137 posts)The frustrating part is that even older people with sifnuficant life experience and education do not grasp it. Because, we have been throwing words like Nazi and fascism and hitler left and right. They lost their power.
the feeling I had on Sunday, when Conway said alternative facts and then press-secretary doubled down. It was very painful because I remembered when I had this feeing the last time. The day aprtment bombings in Moscow (1999) started followed by gaslighting and a war on 'liberalism' and consolidation of media. My PTSD blocked this feeling from me. So I left the country for good and never looked back (and I am gay so figure). But it is a distinct feeling of hopelessness that brought me down immediately when I saw that clip with Coneat because it was post-inauguration.
Beleive in the worst possible outcome, I know it is very painful but we can not come up with effective strategies on how to overcome their methods.
