Exactly. Especially when it’s just not true. There are people who can do things.
Congress & Senate have power, they’re just (mostly) not using it.
Courts still have power, even though it’s a struggle w/o DOJ’s support.
We have our protest power.
Things are bad, but it’s not impossible to fix.

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them.
DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it.
#Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them.
Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. ..
It was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?"
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.

The
GREAT GATSBY

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.
-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

No. Defeatism is not helpful.
It’ll take Herculean efforts, but there are ways to stop him. EVERYONE has to stand up & do the right thing. Very difficult, but not impossible.

Before I was stalked into hiding, I was an expert in the diagnosis of psychopaths. My favorite discussions online about whether Trump is a psychopath or has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. But here's a zinger: he could have both! #psychology #forensics #socialworkers #truecrime
