Thank you, Richard, yet again, for sharing your astute (and terrifying) analysis. Trump is, without any doubt, the Beast of the Apocalypse, the Devil incarnate. And now, we face the inexorable consequences of the ignorance, greed, hatred, and denial which is now the de facto platform of the neofascist “Republican” party. We now have the choice of four attitudes toward the coming collapse and die-off: denial, delusion, despair, and determination. Only the fourth is adaptive: determination to stay awake, to cultivate wisdom and compassion, and—to the extent possible—to grow gardens, grow community, and grow awareness by learning, teaching, healing, and creating. And—as Gandhi always counseled us, we must strive, simultaneously, to do what we know is right, while letting go of attachment to outcomes.
