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?
