You are not suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome", you are struggling to overcome "Autocratic Despair" - which happens everywhere an Autocracy is trying to take root. Also, really into the Green Bay Packers.

Fidelity Select Goldshares are up 30% over the last 8 weeks if you are wondering where people are putting their money ahead of the collapse. Put most of my IRA into it at the beginning of 2023 anticipating US default on our debt & it was up and down, but profitable the whole time. Vindicated!

We’re venturing into some really interesting unreality territory - so I’d just like to call out a benchmark for when Gavin Newsom has Don Jr. on his podcast and they bond over being Eskimo brothers. When that moment arrives - let’s all acknowledge how crazy things are

We create alternate realities at times to cope with the inescapable horror that'd come from taking responsibility for the mistakes we make in this one. This is outrageous in the true sense of the word, though.

Really hoping the next edition of the Autocratic Despair Dialogues is more of a thought exercise about what might happen than it is about the implications of what has happened. If you are in Green Bay, do drop by.

I'll bet you any money that Elon Musk is walking around like he's a real hotshot right about now.

World's biggest narcissist has headlines stolen from him on the day of his coronation as King of USA. Seems like that would stick in his craw. Unless the headlines were going to be about Trump clearly reaching the point where he can no longer plausibly hide that he's suffering from dementia.

Now is the time to think about how you are going to deal with the guilt of leaving these people behind.

I am just catching the WWE on Netflix & WOW did Hulk Hogan get boo’d lustily & for a prolonged period of time.

Bringing in Musk to tag with Trump for this run is pretty obviously setting the stage for a Trump Babyface turn & a pretty epic feud. I just hope the Trump character gets tweaked into something resembling the Ayahuasca Enlightened Trump from that AI Video. This will happen.

I wonder how many people are going to embrace Christian Nationalism out of what they see as “pragmatism” by the end of 2025? I suspect it will be an alarming number - especially if the new regime announces itself with shock tactics.

I have heard “minifesto” & it seems perfect. The brevity is the most impressive aspect. Ensures it’ll be read by many. Still needs to overcome the easy “driven to insane & desperate lengths by chronic back pain so bad he couldn’t even think about boning” framing, but you never know.

The only thing that is uniting this country is a desire for elites to be held accountable. We still don’t agree on who the elites are or what accountability looks like, but if you are trying to bring a country together it is a Hell of a start.

The messed up thing about the Trump Era is that we’ll never again believe that one man can have anything resembling moral clarity without wondering if it is a calculated affectation to promote a Patreon account or product you can acquire at a discount if you use their affiliate code at checkout.

Every now & again a product comes along so perfect that you are a little shocked nobody had thought of it already. This is one of those products. Absolute banger. https://www.bananaproducts.com/covid/p/wetfloorsign

I've got a new username. No longer @nickmortensen.blsky.app - I am just @nickmortensen.com It was pretty easy to add a TXT record to nickmortensen.com - a domain name I own. If you are a different Nick Mortensen and want me to setup an @nickmortensen.com username for you - reach out.

It will only be a short stretch of time until MAGA decides the Americans With Disabilities act is the ultimate woke DEI program. I'd like to think that'll turn the tide against Trump once & for all. It won't - nothing has yet & nothing ever will.

I am not sure if this is bad to say or not, but I hope like Hell that transgender Congresswoman that they are making use the men’s room uses the urinals to pee. Being able to pee standing up is a tremendous advantage in this world & anyone that can do it should. It rules.
