A decrease in emotional responsiveness to a negative or aversive stimulus, such as reduced empathy for victims of violence and other forms of abuse, due to repeated exposure.
He’s throwing SO MUCH shit at us constantly in the hope that we become numb, so that we stop caring and/or are so desensitized that we’re no longer able to respond.
This is a tactic. If they overwhelm us, we’ll be unable to fight back or resist in any meaningful way.
This administration and its backers, like Musk, Thiel, and The Heritage Foundation, to name a few, want us to be compliant zombies.
Briefly and just off the top of my head he’s:
- Threatened world war because Denmark wouldn’t give him Greenland with a nice pink bow. Lied, saying The U.S. needs Greenland for defense reasons when it was all about wanting their inaccessible rare minerals.
- Bombed more than 36 Venezuelan fishing boats, killing more than 126 people, lied that they were drug boats headed for the U.S. Then invaded the country, kidnapped their president (and his wife), saying he was a narco-terrorist. Meanwhile, the whole charade, all the deaths, all the U.S. taxpayer buckos spent on military actions were because Pedo wanted to get his mitts on Venezuela’s oil that, oopsie, the big oil company’s aren’t actually interested in. Oh and all the money from the sale of Venezuela’s oil? Yeah, that goes into a special bank account in Qatar. Sounds legit, right? This was never about drugs.
- How about the Soviet style $45 million birthday parade that Stinky threw for himself and slept through?
- The pants shitting maniac had the East Wing of the White House demolished without he required congressional authorization or full approval from federal planning commissions. Why? He wanted a giant-ass ugly ballroom – 90,000-square-feet of gold painted filigree and crap. For comparison’s sake, an American football field is 57,600-square-feet. The Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC measures 35,000-square-feet and holds 2,000 people.
- He had a personal private army formed. It’s made up of the January 6th insurrectionists, white nationalists, pardoned criminals, people too stupid, violent, and out of control to become cops, join the military or become security guards at their local mall. Their job? Domestic terrorism – ethnic and political cleansing. With them Prez Pedo wages war on Blue cities and states like Los Angeles, Chicago, Minnesota, Portland, Maine, and more.
- MINNEAPOLIS and all the Trump sanctioned murders!
- And, of course, the Epstein/Trump files. Though 3.5 million new, horrifying pages (including more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images) were released on Friday, apparently that’s not all of it. Prez Pedo’s personal AG, Bleach Bondi, is withholding roughly 50% of the files while claiming to have fully complied with the law.
- Pedo wants to build a big, beautiful memorial arch to himself.
If we are to survive, if we are going to get to the other side of this mondo shitstorm, we canNOT become desensitized. How is that possible though?
Pick causes to focus your energy on. Don’t spread yourself across the whole board. If you do, you’ll become overwhelmed, overloaded and crash. Probably. Unless you’re Superhuman. I’m sure as fuck not.
Actively manage your news consumption by setting a strict time limit (e.g., 60 minutes per day). Stop when the time’s up and focus on other shit like reading a book, watching a movie, baking, crafting, painting, making music, going for a walk, photography, bowling, playing with your cat, whatever. I'm bad at this – it's a goal I'm after though.
Feeling emotionally numb? Stop. Rest. Pet a cat. Volunteer and/or donate. Go work at a shelter (people and/or animal). Spend time with folks in nursing homes. Don’t like people? You’re socially awkward (like me)? Volunteer to run errands or clean.
Look for positive stories too. It’s not all doom out there.
Really.
Though still severely endangered, researchers have spotted 21 North Atlantic right whale calves off the Southeast U.S. coast and this encouraging.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are outselling gas cars in Europe for the first time. Yeah, it’ll be a LOT longer before that happens over here but, it WILL happen.
Three big U.S. offshore wind farm projects are back under construction after Prez Asshole ordered them stopped. Federal judges cockblocked his little mushroom.
SEE? There IS some good news.
