Sunday Morning Bobblehead Thread

Let's see who is framing the debate, shall we?

Seems familiar, doesn't it?

Without getting into particulars, I'm very familiar these tactics and the entire Trump presidency has been entirely triggering to many of us who have struggled to overcome being abused and to learn to place boundaries for your own emotional and mental health.

Jim Pavlovitz:

I hear the nagging question you ask inside your head a few hundred times a day: “Is it me, or has a huge portion of this country lost its mind?”

It isn’t you.

You’re quite fine, and this is of course both good and terrible news—because of what it says about you and about the place you find yourself.

The fact that you see how wrong this all is, means your faculties are intact, your mind is fully right, and your heart is working properly. It’s all confirmation that you still have a soul doing what souls are supposed to do: keeping you deeply human in profoundly inhumane times.

This is why you need to hold tightly to that soul because it is more rare and valuable than ever.It’s why you need to embrace this holy unrest in the center of your belly; because it is the greatest weapon against the present epidemic of apathy.

It’s why you can’t allow your right mind to make peace with such abject madness.

Gotta tell you, it's not a comfortable feeling knowing that all of these media outlets are enabling this kind of manipulation and abusive tactics.
