Thank you for this dire and entirely accurate assessment of our demise—the dark vortex into which our nation is slipping fast. I see Trump in Jungian terms as the surfacing of our collective “shadow”— those malignant aspects of our national character that we have always been in denial about: our greed, willful ignorance, racial hatred, chronic anti-intellectualism and denial, and despair. This will not end well . Trump is our collective bad karma personified—the American Antichrist, the “tough Beast slouching towards Bethlehem.
