This video is part of a multi-part series that examines the difference between people who think with their gut rather than their brains. Over the last eleven years, it has become painfully obvious that a large number of Americans prefer the MAGA message over the path of progressive morality and the modern social sciences. The gap between the two political camps becomes wider every day as Trump seduces the former Republican Party down the road toward chaos and authoritarianism.

Many of us in the Baby Boomer generation remember the TV show of the 1950’s and 1960’s, ” Queen For A Day”. Donald Trump said he wanted to be “Dictator on Day One”. He effectively has been a dictator, fuhrer, emperor, king, or whatever title for exalted leader you want to use granted by the MAGATS every day since January 20, 2025. If he had only been “King For a Day” as he alluded to in his interview with Sean Hannity before the election, which even Hannity probably thought was a joke, the damage he would have done would have been significant, but with his sycophants enabling him, including all the Pubs in Congress, it has become a nightmare. Just like Czar Nicholas II of Russia, and probably most kings in history, it seems Trump thinks he is more than a mere mortal, and probably anointed and protected by God, as many in his cult proclaim him to be “the Orange Jesus”. The damage to the US he has inflicted (encouraged by Netanyahu, Putin, and other abusive despots) is massive and probably long lasting. The Judiciary may be able to slowly reign in some of his illegal and abusive activities, but with his multiple stupid and abusive actions almost daily and our current Congress too scared and weak to obey the Constitution, we have at least until after November’s elections to try to survive his ridiculous blunders, untruths, moral depravity and his obnoxious behavior.
