For us here in Chennai and India, the lockdown started somewhere around 23rd of March. It is now July 4. More than a 100 days of easy, medium & hard lock downs. We are seeing about 4200 infected on a given day in our state. This city sees something close to 2k infections per day. Looking at these numbers everyday with no hope of improving everyday has become a ritual. One automatically sees these numbers. Whatever, this is a lot of mental trauma, to be cooped up in the house. There are cops in the main roads, confiscating anyone travelling on a vehicle without a valid pass. This also gives us a taste of how a dictatorship works. If this is how North Korea feels, it is hell. I don't think anyone can get used to this kind of life.
Trump, is one of the worst person to have walked on earth. A carnival con-man, who took over America. I mean, America never had any moral high ground to start with in the long shot. Its just that, this guy laid everything bare, which is painful to watch. And also the fact that there are so much prejudiced people in that country to make him win, is a big surprise. I think the mentality of people now is that I need to be financially safe. I would do anything to ensure that I feel safe in my community. And they just vote this dumb ass when he promises that he can do that. I guess the mechanisms of economy are much more complex for dumb ass like trump to understand. But he is projecting the image of a person who can do this and for people with bottom of the barrel iq, that is enough. There is a dumbing down of wisdom over these decades. There is knowledge but no wisdom since the advent of internet, videos, media et al.
There are a lot of mental ailments, that go unnoticed.
