    Everyone has been put under a normalization spell, the trauma was too intense too long. I tried explaining to another liberal my fears about this term’s version of the January 6 insurrection, he looked at me like I was crazy. People are trained to believe the ping-pong will go on forever, save and easy.

      They say it’s our thumbs and big brains that are our super power but I swear, our ability to pretend like everything is fine despite overwhelming evidence is something truly incredible.
