Humans need to start developing, in effect, parallel underground economies where humanity can thrive as humans in a fundamentally analog world.

"Most Americans will not live in a police state." That is what has long distinguished America from most other states in the world. If it is still true, America is in for a rocky few years ahead. Hopefully, MAGA can be convinced to back down before a national crisis turns into a national tragedy.

It is an historic mental and moral collapse that will be studied for a long while in political science classes, sociology classes and psychology classes.

Bondi has been an atrocious attorney general by any normal standards, but she has been a very effective cog in the MAGA nihilistic wrecking ball machine. Unfortunately for her, that won't look good on her resume when Trump is gone.

I've never seen such a firefight or warzone. This is obviously the epitome of MAGA courage by Kristi Noem. I can easily see Trump pinning a MAGA Medal of Honor on her.

Trump has stacked his administration with juvenile delinquent loyalists whose job is not to serve their oath of office or the American people, but to serve and protect a sociopathic criminal. They have been specially selected to have no principles and no shame. They mock the very offices they hold.

MAGA is a cult of overgrown adolescents. But the larger issue must be American culture as a whole. Why is it now producing so many dysfunctional subadults?

It is indicative of a common psycho-dynamic with dictators. The more powerful they become, the more enemies they make, and the more paranoid they get. They are always watching their backs. Putin is another example. They all eventually feel they need a police state just to protect themselves.

"Miller sounded like a fascist chatbot who can't control his emotions." Without an adult conscience or adult character to guide him, he sounds like an unrestrained child throwing a temper tantrum. Which is essentially what he has become.

"It is an abomination." It demonstrates how MAGA is trying to redefine 'morality' simply as a function of loyalty to Trump or MAGA. Principles are dead in MAGA world. Ethical principles. Rational principles. Adult principles. All dead in MAGA world. Just juvenile delinquent nihilism remains.

Shine a bright media spotlight on Miller, on his sociopathic lack of character and his toxic influence on Trump and MAGA. He is a supreme narcissist, so he may play along, at first. Draw him out of the shadows. Our democracy will die in the shadows.

"justice is coming." If only that proves to be true. MAGA is feverishly corrupting or destroying the American justice system to ensure it is never true again, at least in any traditionally principled sense.

What does it say about Don Jr and MAGA that they see Fox News as too fair and balanced? It suggests that they are not only extremely unprincipled, but have actually become enemies of principle and anyone who displays any principle whatsoever.

"the Democrats and media need to do more and do better." Absolutely. Communicate loudly outside the echo chambers! Make it impossible for the average American to remain uninformed about the key facts regarding the national crisis confronting America under Trump.

"She is dripping with partisan disdain." It is a hyper-partisan, tribalistic and cult-like disdain. It is profoundly unprecedented and un-American. It symbolizes the poisonous influence and ethical bankruptcy of MAGA.

"Don’t believe Trump’s lies." The problem now isn't whether people believe his lies. They don't. The problem is whether they care enough to even notice his lies anymore.

It appears that right wing notion of 'masculinity' embraces extreme narcissism and rejects any 'woke' notion of social responsibility.

More important is how they feel about themselves. When does guilt or shame or a larger sense of responsibility kick in?

Let us never forget. And let us never forget that evil is evil, regardless of the mask it wears or label it puts on itself.

I've read about these type of women who swoon over very bad men or even murderers in prison and even marry them in prison. It is a bizarrely sado-masochistic psychology that sees 'masculinity' as synonymous with sociopathology.

MAGA: Heal thyself! Please! Your deep moral and mental problems are the main cause of your paranoia and scapegoating. Heal yourself and you will start loving your fellow beings, not fearing and hating them.

Is MAGA also cheering that so much brainpower and creative talent is leaving the US? Possibly yes. After all, they would be considered 'elites' and only the dumbest and most corrupt Trump sycophants are now truly welcome in MAGAland.

I find it curious why some MAGA zealots 'draw a line' at all. The only answer I have is it is an example of typical MAGA hypocrisy: good and evil are delineated according to how it might affect oneself. Being women, Loomer and MTG see themselves as possible female victims. Only then do they get it.

There are a range of concerning causes for a decrease in human brainpower. They include a large variety of harmful chemicals in our air, food and drink. Also, a stressful social environment and isolating parental tactics add up, as well as the effects of social media and digital technologies.

The more suppressed guilt, the more need for scapegoats.

"Americans will suffer because of the shutdown." One of the obvious traits of MAGA is that they are either apathetic to suffering or enjoy it. I've seen no evidence that MAGA wants to stop human suffering, either in the world as a whole or in America. They don't even want Americans to take Tylenol.

"there is new legal analysis" by MAGA that laws don't apply to them anymore.

"Lack of sleep can damage the brain, leading to cognitive impairments, increased risk of neurological disorders and accelerated brain aging... Sleep deprivation significantly affects cognitive functions, including attention, memory, and decision-making abilities."

This is what happens when a political party becomes a cult of subadults whose primary duty in government is to shield their man-baby leader from rational, ethical adults.

The biggest danger is not autocracy. Many, many Americans will not stand for that. The bigger danger is the violence and chaos that will erupt if this MAGA madness goes much farther.
