Hold on to your rising gorges...

[Mark Thibodeau]

Ha!

I don't think it's necessary.

After watching a few of Adams' videos, I've come to the conclusion that
he's a bit... spectrum-y?

I've noticed there's a "type" of smarter-than-average person that seems
attracted to Trump's message and style, more than you'd think they would be
considering their intelligence.

 I dunno. Lately I've been thinking that we're seeing a civilization-wide
backlash of sorts to the hopelessness foisted upon us by the mass culture
of the 80's/90's.

It's like, "We were promised an Apocalypse, so I never bothered to start or
build a family or a career or a LIFE of any kind, and now I've got nothing,
and life goes on, and so WHAT ELSE do you expect me to do if not do my
small part to help bring the whole thing down around our collective heads?"

Seeing a lot of that kind of "Apocalyptic let-down" among my peers. 9/11
provided a brief stint of "Okay, NOW we're getting started", but even that
eventually faded away, and we're back to being forced to endure reality
again.

Am I making any sense at all?
