If you haven't read Mark Russell's Prez, I highly recommend you do to understand American politics. To understand how corrupt this oligarchic democracy is - that this current epoch is only the most foul iteration of a cycle that has been happening for a very long time. www.dc.com/blog/2024/06...

In an interview today about Trump and the McMahons, in which I said part of their problem is being insecure about their masculinity, I argued that we cannot fix this world until we get better with emotional literacy -- which needs more focus on the intersection of emotions and masculinity.
