Is everyone in America just constantly crashing out right now, or acting normal by their standards?

In my head they are very normalburger if that makes sense. They think Trump can stop the war enough to affect the market, right?

Depends on the person. I’m a therapist, tons of my clients are very upset, scared, crying, having trouble sleeping, depressed, feeling powerless and angry, etc. This administration’s actions are taking a huge toll on some people’s mental health. And people who are trans or gay? They are scared and many want to get out but can’t. Having said all that… there are plenty of people who are not bothered because they are not informed and don’t realize how bad things really are.

it's propaganda.. they are using all media (which they essentially not control) to overwhelm and force people to stop paying attention. you'll probably notice that your clients, slowly over time are getting less and less angry/extremely emotional and are essentially becoming numb to all the random information that they are consuming. their goal with propaganda isn't to make you think, it's to make you not think. our human tendencies to rationalize and question is essentially being bombarded to the point of emotional collapse. this is the end goal for propaganda, to force complicity through emotional shutdown.

Steve Bannon said to “flood the zone.” That’s what they are doing.
