re: #420 Eclectic Cyborg

No, it’s not. It’s a clear and present danger to our democracy.

I honestly don’t see how the US recovers from this. Trump is not the real problem. He’s just the hideous manifestation of the fact that nearly half the electorate is drunk on their own delusions.

It’s been mentioned here that some kind of truth and reconciliation process will be needed to bring these people back to reality, which I suspect is true.

But how will this happen? The deluded will not volunteer for this, and coercion is impossible (too many people to reeducate) and self-defeating even if it were possible (force can’t be the answer for something like this).
