The deception

I have been seeing a therapist and she says that our family members are in a cloud of deception. She said it is similar to the confusion that those in Germany were in during Hitler's reign.

She said that it is state of toughness and has mean elements to it. It honors and reveres rugged individualism. Some people in it like it and others are just tricked and swept up in it, but possess the empathy to break out.

She said the one thing that pulled many of the Germany people out of that state of mind was to see the suffering the regime caused. She said I could try sharing stories of suffering that are happening today that trump and his regime are causing - personal stories are the best.

So I'm going to do that with my family and red congressional representatives. She also said it is likely that this is the only thing that will pull them out. Hoping it works.

Thoughts?
