An article appeared yesterday on the Grey Zone that explained, for the first time I've seen, what happened to turn normally peace and freedom-oriented Leftists into supporters of censorship and authoritarian mandates.
I think your diagnosis of "Intolerable psychic pain" explains what people on the left suffered from exposure to Trump's breaking all norms of behavior. Add fear to that and people "regress to primitive levels of functioning, lose higher level cognitive functions, capacity for logic, the ability to anticipate consequences and to understand cause and effect." That's how a movement that almost won a Presidential nomination was neutralized and turned 180 degrees.
Thanks for yet another well researched and substantive article. I think you'll appreciate my substack from yesterday which speaks to the issues of children and their doctors, pediatricians, who are continuing to promote vaccination. SHAME ON ALL OF THEM. The question I ask in my articles is How do you sleep at night?
Suggestion from an editor: There is a tremendous amount of good material to take in here. I think it would be more accessible if you broke this into two posts, comprising the kids & vaccine piece and the PsyOp/psychological/sociological analysis. There's very little overlap, so the split should be easy. Your readers will thank you.
I have learned that public comments are useless. They will act like they are important then do what they intended anyway. This is how government roles on all issues and in all agencies. I am sorry to say the only thing they will listen to is one—their pay checks are stopped or two—a mob at their door with weapons.

April 6?! I thought we had till 4/15 to submit our public comments?? I was planning to write a letter about it but no way can I make that deadline!
This is great. Thank you so much!
Fear and ignorance = dangerous cocktail.
It sure is a whack-scene!
