I've learned an important lesson from this election

147. What i see in what has happened reinforces my foundational understanding of humanity and life...

All of life, including humanity is nothing but potential. Humans have the ability to be conscious about controlling the direction of their potential—most choose not to be conscious about that, however. Each decision we make, whether we are conscious or not and no matter how insignificant the decision, develops some potential within us and we gather momentum toward that potential each time we choose to make a decision in a given direction. What has happened is the morons who support Trump started out making tiny decisions to overlook his flaws, to rationalize the evils he committed. As they continued to develop their potential in the direction of accepting evil, they became more evil themselves so that they could no longer easily discern evil when it was right in front of them. This is exactly what happened to the fascists who supported the Nazis in the 30s and 40s in Europe. It happens slowly at first, then snowballs ever faster into an avalanche of evil. Resist it, shine a light on it, make it obvious for anyone who is still conscious and has the ability to wake up and pull themselves out of its gravitational field.
