Reply #67: Interesting poll that showed up yesterday morning that seems to dovetail

[Cerridwen]

nicely into some of what we're discussing here. I hope the OP of that poll doesn't mind if I borrow their thread as an example over here. :hi:

NNN0LHI put up a poll: Does it unnerve you that someone who is responsible for so much death & suffering appears so normal? The responses were interesting as most posters did not know to whom NNN0LHI was referring because, as one poster noted "There's not a normal one in the bunch." The poll did not do well. Think about that. A poll on a political message board about the politics of the current (mis)administration receives barely a response and the few responses it did receive were trying to pinpoint the "person" to whom the OP made reference.

We've become so numbed by the constant barrage of pathology and its "people" and actions that not one poster in that thread thought to even question the "appearance of normalcy" of someone "responsible for so much death & suffering". I'm not explaining this well. Hopefully someone will make some sense of this. I struck me odd that so few responded and each one just accepted as fact that we have so many people "responsible for so much death & suffering" in our country right now that they couldn't immediately narrow it down to one.

Our collective pathology has become "normal" and our "leaders'" pathology has become "normal" and we're so numb we're accepting that "normalcy" as just another "fact" of our daily, shared existence.

Geez, I hope my caffeine kicks in soon. I hope this post made some sense.
