The overall madness of last week reminded me of the months following Donald Trump\u2019s election. In both cases, the worldview of large numbers of people was shaken to its core. I think the root cause of the breakdown in both instances was that many people\u2019s model of what is \u201cnormal\u201d was suddenly shattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Resist the Crazy Where\u2019s evil?
