<p>I'm saying the reason there isn't any pushback is because the whole system is working as "winner-take-all," hence pushing back on ANYTHING that Donald Trump does, when there is no other Republican who can challenge him for leadership, is like scoring on your own net. It's a bad strategy if you're trying to win the game!<p>Adolfo Franco (interesting name for a right-wing strategist..) said it best on Al Jazeera. "How can he be a spokesperson for a man like Donald Trump?" He was asked. his answer was that he's a spokesperson for the REPUBLICAN PARTY, and in 4 years, there will be a new nominee. Simple as that. Time will tell what happens.<p>Polarization has reached "existential threat levels." It will eventually go back. Vance may find that moderation is in his party's interest after all the chaos of Trump. They are very different personalities.</p>

<p>Lynch hated Dune because DeLaurentis meddled with it so hard (Jodorowsky famously said they only way Lynch could have made a movie so bad, is if the producers ruined it).</p>

<p>This is pretty hand-wavy. I was diagnosed with a rare disorder. My doctors said surgery was the only option and that it would be fine after. As it turns out, there's a radiation therapy that is 80% successful, been practiced around the world for 20 years with no serious side effects (including cancer), AND is practiced regularly by a RO here where I live.<p>I had to find out about him by myself because my doctors didn't do anything other than look up my condition and give me the most common treatment option. In my case surgery usually makes things worse and is NOT advised other than as a last resort. My doctors didn't know any of this, because they didn't do their research.</p>

<p>The whole issue with the idea that "Trump is destroying democracy," isn't that what Trump is doing is NOT damaging to democracy, or corrupt, or what have you. It is. But Trump will be gone in 4 years. There will be a new Republican nominee. Whatever (and I mean, whatever) that nominee says will be the new party line. And the idea that the Republicans are willing to continue an actual overthrow of law and order in the US is...close to a fantasy. The Republicans are with Trump as long as he is the most popular candidate. As soon as he is no longer useful in that function, he's toast.</p>

<p>Ive been really struggling to make sense of what is true or not. There are so many therapists who treat The Body keeps the Score and stuff like Polyvagal theory as pure science or fact. How is it that they can continue to push this stuff when it keeps being "debunked?"</p>
