My brain has been so frozen for the past few years I can only say thank you until it has thawed sufficiently to find a place in the discussion. I’ve never before found myself so distant and unable. Gratefully I see a path here where I can restart my motor.

I see our society in various states of denial. Your uncle's cult is stuck in all three of the first stages: Denial & Isolation--hiding from the truth--anger about it, and bargaining towards the return of their leader. Anti-vaxxers are part of a larger group that is anti-science and anti-its industry representatives (the abusive father; from whom they retreat into gossippy "back to Mother Earth" projections). Yes, there are mistakes and abuse; and there is the saying about the baby and the bathwater! We are hiding from depression -- and the healing it can bring! And climate change: no one wants their climate to change, God forbid! So let's deny that! So what's the treatment to be, doctor?

I’m really enjoying this subscription! The flow of the conversation between you and Molly Jong Fast made my drive time dose of political jousting from the right a lot easier to listen to and a welcome change by far . Looking forward to more engaging conversation .

First, thank you, for being a voice of reason in these backward times. It will never stop confusing me as to how our country got to this point, unnerving to say the least. I look forward to hearing your voice, meow to your kitty and squawk to you birdie.

Love this, Mary. My son lives in the best city on the planet, too - he's on his way to Portland to cover his NYCFC team in the MLS cup! No more fash, no more nazis!
