Thank you, Henry cubed. :) Pardon-finding any bit of levity on a dark day. This use of "kinetic" has been irritating! Small in the grand scheme, of course, but grrr!!!

This is my first direct post. Iβm just here to listen/learn. But I was seeking some extra oomph today (>anger/frustration, analysis, even strategy) & thought others might enjoy this too. If anyone even sees this, maybe + more inspirational music- So much out there, from US+abroad! Music is powerful.

The Paranoid Style in American Politics, by Richard Hofstadter
Coincidentally, I just read this historical perspective on paranoid style in American politics posted by someone else here today (sorry, only saved the link) - an article from a 1963 lecture: harpers.org/archive/1964...
