So here's what I said in October of 2024 when Tucker Carlson asked me on his show what would happen in blue America if Donald Trump won.

I think it will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country.

I think tens of millions of people will question their connection to the nation, their connection to other human beings, their connection to their vision of what their future for them and their children could be like.

And I think that will require an enormous amount of

access to mental health professionals.

I think it'll lead to trauma in the workplace.

I think there'll be some degree of- Are you being serious?

100% serious.

100% serious.

There'll be alcoholism.

There'll be broken marriages.

What?

They think he's the worst person possible to be president.

And having won by the hand of Jim Comey and Fluke in 2016 and then performed in office for four years and denied who won the election last time in January 6th, the fact that under a fair election, America chose by the rules pre-agreed to Donald Trump again, I think it will cause the biggest mental health crisis in the history of America.

And I don't think it will be kind of a passing thing that by the inauguration will be fine.

I think it will be sustained and unprecedented and hideous.

And I don't think the country's ready for it.

So mental health crises often manifest in violence.

Yeah, I think there'll be some violence.

I think there'll be workplace fights.
