Torture, in theory, is inflicted to break people.
And what happens when people break?
You can do whatever you want with them.
In theory, that's the purpose of the torture a lot.
And that's what they're trying to do.
Like there is an intentionality to the psychological torture that we see in authoritarian regimes historically that is embodied in Trump.
It's why I study and why I do lots of reports on what's happening internationally, because Trump is a symptom and a vessel, not the creator.
OK, the authoritarianism
has existed historically.
We see it embodied in the Putins and the Orbans and the Bukele's and the Javier Millet's and the Le Pen movement in France or the Reform Party movement in the UK, the Pierre Poliev's in Canada.
It is a international in scope, and it's to psychologically torture and control and hoist up authoritarians.
So I want you to be cognizant because if we know that, we can recognize it and fight back together, which is what's happening right now, and that's what the Trump regime never accounted for.
They thought they would break us with their psychological torture, but we're holding the line together.
And when I say we, I mean you.
I mean, this whole community.
I mean, the pro-democracy community, not just in the United States, but in the world.
Shout out to all the Midas Mighty International as well.
