Officially deactivated my twitter account, I'm fully in this now

Those of you who have read parable of the sower, what's your reactions or thoughts to what's happening right now?

I still love that he, who shall not be named, posted this and his base ate it up.

I've dedicated time to understanding and hypothesizing the mental state that brought us to this very moment in history. I think these paragraphs from 'Searching for the root of all evil: An existential-sociological perspective on political enemyship and scapegoating' help frame why.
