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.

There'll be fights at kids' birthday parties.

I think there'll be protests that will turn violent.

I hope they're not, but I think there will be some.

But I think it will be more, it'll be less anger and more a failure to understand how it could happen.

You know, like the death of a child or your spouse announcing that, you know, your wife announcing she's a lesbian and she's leaving you for your best friend.

Like something that's so traumatic

that it is impossible for even the most mentally healthy person to truly process and incorporate into their daily life.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think that's what's going to happen for tens of millions of people because they think that their fellow citizens supporting Trump is a sign of fundamental evil at the heart of their fellow citizens and of the nation.

So how right was I?

How right was I in October of 24?

In some quarters, I'm giving credit for being very right.

I don't think I was totally right, but I was a lot right.

I was a lot right.
