[Closed] The Great Unraveling and the Great Turning - Rebuilding a Progressive America in the Future

@yogagirl that type of gait is also a marker for dmentia, the nerve to brain signaling is failing.

#TrumpIsNotWell is trending #1 on Twitter after videos captured from West Point showing him severely impaired. The anvil has fallen. 

@vestralux @jeanne-mayell and everyone here! ?

I'm at the point where I don't even derive joy from talking about the downfall of our Windigo-in-Chief. He just needs to go, and when he does, I'll skip the celebration and continue the work of building a better world. Meanwhile, we need to stop giving his ego so much attention. We've already established that he thrives off of making himself a spectacle. 15 years ago, he was able to grow stronger and stronger in our minds by making himself a gaudy cable TV freak that millions of people, including professed liberals, would tune into anyways just for the spectacle of watching a gaudy freak. Now it's the same story: millions of people, including self-identified liberals and progressives, continue to feed the beast because they can't turn away from the visual media spectacle of a gaudy psychopath occupying the White House.  

I feel like he'd shrivel into nothingness if we trashed our cable boxes, stopped watching web recordings of him, and turned our liberated attention instead to nurturing light. Partly because my TV-watching habit died out well before 2015, and partly because I'm hearing-impaired, I don't know what his voice sounds like. When he's quoted in print media, I skip over the quotes, because even his disembodied words are manipulation. I can look at photos of him for brief intervals, but only because I must if I am to understand that he is the personification of the debauchedness of both the American collective and our flashy, image-obsessed globalized consumerist culture.

I'm not trying to make people feel bad about their media habits. But if there's ever a time to examine how seemingly innocent, individual decisions are cumulative and leading humanity to a cliff-edge, it's now.

I believe the Nov. '19 hospital trip was for a TIA. I wouldn't say the anvil has fallen quite yet, but it certainly is dangling over his head by a thread.

The video of him walking down the stairs at West Point...he really looked like he was going to fall.

@coyote This is one of the main reasons I quit Twitter. Imagine if everyone quit twitter and no on read his Tweets. That would cut the noise to signal ratio way down and the news might cover the real news. Twitter is just providing a conduit for him for more energy transfer. He would definitely have to do more hate&adulation rallies. This is why they won't ever kick him off. Twitter and Trump have a symbiotic relationship.

What is a TIA?

Yes! I've often thought that the constant media attention and even psychological energy on T fuels him and gives him undue power, and I'm reminded of an old Simpson's Halloween episode bit in which advertising figures come to life and start destroying the town. Lisa realizes that they feed on attention and to save the town, she convinces everyone "just don't look..."

@laura-f

Yes. A beginning. The dam is breaking.  A dawning of reality for many folks actually seeing his deterioration on video. Hopefully the news media will begin to address his obvious decline. 

This is how we rise: The White House Put up a Wall. The People Made it Beautiful.
