What to Understand
-
Donald Trump is the most obvious liar and egomaniac since year 2013. It is blatant, it is obvious, it is clear as day, it is documented.
-
Understanding the Problem Assertion 1: The problem is not Donald Trump. One liar “Big Shot” who plays golf and spends time with his family retired in Florida on the golf course and goes and hangs out with his buddies is nothing special for a man age 70 and older.
-
Understanding the Problem Assertion 2: The problem is We The People, the population of society. “MASS PSYCHOSIS - How an Entire Population Becomes MENTALLY ILL”
-
How did this happen? Assertion 3: A 1985 book by Neil Postman, Manhattan / New York University Professor (Donald Trump’s Home Town) predicted all this for America’s future. On February 2, 2017 his son Andrew Postman confirmed that Donald Trump was what his father’s book was ultimately about.

Understanding the Problem Assertion 4: The Theory of SOCIETAL STUPIDITY by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Nazi Germany mass conformity / collective blindness
“They spend so much time cheering about it and convincing themselves they have it better than anyone else because they did, once. A while ago. And they got so convinced by their own propaganda that they were perfect they stopped getting better and the rest of the world moved on. Their mindset is still stuck in the 1960’s, even though it’s been 60 years” - May 7, 2025

https://old.reddit.com/r/canada/comments/1kgy6du/majority_of_canadians_feel_unwelcome_and_unsafe/mr379ih/As an American it feels terrible to see stuff like this. Myself and those around me wish we could do more and it’s something I think about almost constantly. We are not all blind to the insane amount of hypocrisy and irony that is America right now. I hope that as we become more organized a large and disruptive resistance forces change. I’m not proud to be an American and haven’t been for a long time and it’s disheartening to see so many around me ignore what’s happening.
