THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PANDEMIC

I am seeing evidence of rapidly spreading serious psychological disruptions in our nation. These mental viruses are nothing new, but now they are escalating into potentially very harmful, even deadly consequences.

Among the symptoms are, in the male population, an increasing focus on attempting to solve all difficulties with violence. We have always had indications of this illness, but now it is taking on more of an institutional context. I speak, of course, about self-identified Republicans, or “conservatives”.
