"GOP MASS PSYCHOSIS - How an Entire Population Becomes MENTALLY ILL" and How to Prevent It“
Half of America has been do duped and propagandized by the extreme right in the last 10 years: this A+ video explains the origins of mass psychosis so well that young adults can understand it. Share!
A Substack friend shared this 2-year-old video, but it’s more important in 2023 considering what’s snowballed, morphed without intervention by politicians fearful already about speaking out against defendant and now candidate Trump.
Someday, psychiatrists and psychologists will write many books about this US cult. Some already are.

My adopted Dad worked as a psychiatrist in Oklahoma and often half joked about how that southern Baptist religious right-wing Republican Okla society ensured him a neverending stream of mentally ill patients and thus job security. I asked him how, as a young person, I could avoid falling victim to the sick society we lived in... his answers: pay attention your 5 senses daily, find something pleasant/enjoyable daily (even small things like clean socks), have regular conversations with friends, read widely, don't do or believe what others are doing or believing without asking "who benefits if I do or believe this?", have interests and hobbies that you pursue simply because you enjoy them - share them with others. Associate regularly with other people who are able to do and value these communal and independent ways of thinking too.
Thanks Diane for this newsletter!!!
