Thanks a very interesting article! As someone who is bullied in school, I have this instinct to go docile and still when threatened and I wonder if that's related to the playing dead phenomenon. Also, I think with the incredible specter of American democracy in flames, I think this is not the time to play dead and I hope the no Kings movement finds it only as a beginning of turning from the docile into the feared predator of all forms of fascism. I find it so interesting that the obsession the right has with antifa, is so at odds with the fact that America was all antifa in the 1940s. What changed that made being against fascism? Something wrong? I am so confused, as per usual.
I'm sorry you were bullied, and now having a Bully as our Predator in Chief must be triggering. I wish more people cared. It is incredibly confusing. But the fact that 40% sat it out last time and didn't vote must be shifting - I really hope.
Yeah, you're right! that whole pack of bullies does trigger me -- you can see the meanness and locker-room stink of the whole pack of morons running the show at the moment. I'm so baffled by the last election -- but that's may change esp. as prices continue to climb due to tariffs -- do they imagine that China and Walmart will absorb the cost? They just pass it on -- it's a tax on the people only so the Toddler in Chief can feel like the muy-macho man his daddy always wanted.
Wow, I wouldn't want to eat that possum either. They can't get rabies and they eat ticks, but they're still pretty nasty.
I heard a WWII story, maybe from my playwriting teacher, about a soldier surviving in a trench by pulling dead bodies over him. That teacher was at The Bulge.
Glad you made it yesterday. Simon Rosenberg (Dem strategist I like) says we all just have to keep pressing, because you often press and press for a long time, until one day everything changes from it. It feels overnight, but really it's from an accumulation of all that pressure over all that time.
I love this post! I truly wish I had the ability to express my thoughts into something so fascinating as this. Thank you!
Thank you, glad you found your way here!

I agree re the Dem pressure, but also there were way more than 7 million!
