These past few months, we have witnessed a confluence of events in which the grandest hopes and desires of the radical left and Oval Office’s installed occupant have been stymied or faced outright defeat. Their desperation should be clear for all to see, summed up in their desire is to govern against the will of the People, campaign against the People’s majority concerns, and inflict psychological (and, in some cases, physical) abuse against all who dissent from their governance and incompetence. To win anyway, leftists are creating a false sense of panic across America.
At the ignominious one-year anniversary of the current regime, it is essential that We the People look at what they are doing on every issue, every story, and listen carefully to every word of their sustained propaganda campaign for they are responsible for creating a Mass Formation Psychosis and mob mentality.
World-renowned psychiatrist Dr. Peter Breggin was the first to examine the psychological impacts of the global response to the COVID pandemic. An October 6, 2021, article for American Greatness reported his views on how a cabal of billionaire elites is behind a global propaganda campaign to keep us all separated from one another, afraid, then docile and, finally, obedient under their control

Listen to the way that the person explains and understands their experiences
Don’t state any judgements about the content of the person’s beliefs and experiences
Don’t argue, confront or challenge someone about their beliefs or experiences
Accept if they don’t want to talk to you, but be available if they change their mind
Treat the person with respect
Be mindful that the person may be fearful of what they are experiencing
Though we know 100% that we are living in a Mass Formation event and that people are truly experiencing psychosis we cannot make that determination without a diagnosis. BUT, we can know with certainty the symptoms of psychosis and how to talk to people with it!
We are truly living with people who are living with this type of condition: “I know I am paranoid! Just because I am paranoid does not mean they are not after me though!”
Be empathetic with how the person feels about their beliefs and experiences

I cannot be empathetic with a deluded person cuz I’m not, and have never been, deluded.
Sympathetic maybe, not empathetic.
Validate the person’s own experience of frustration or distress, as well as the positives of their experience

like hell am I going to validate delusion. There are no positive aspects of delusion.

Listen to the way that the person explains and understands their experiences

Why ? They’re deluded !
If they did explain and were shown the errors of their thinking they would be rational , not deluded .

Don’t state any judgements about the content of the person’s beliefs and experiences

Don’t call their delusion what it is ?

Don’t argue, confront or challenge someone about their beliefs or experiences

We aren’t talking about experiences or beliefs , we are talking about delusion.
How am I supposed to respect a deluded person, it is not something worth respect.
Be compassionate yes, but respect ?, no.
