As usual you tell it like it is and have some of the best insight into this madness and evil. Is it getting better? I honestly don’t know but I do know the powerful institutions are fighting the “resistance” even harder. Are we witnessing an extinction event? Maybe. But we need voices like yours.
You are correct in saying the red states are also being infiltrated. Take it from me- a Minnesotan (my state rep was Ilhan Omar) who moved to Texas. Yes, it's better here. People generally are more polite. Good law & order. But the Dems are here. It feels like there is a complacent attitude ("those crazy liberals can't infest Tx"...) really? I can smell Dems. They are here.There is no vaccine to prevent Blue takeover in Texas. Wake up, people!
Thankyou Josh, it is always great to hear your voice and listen to your passion, outrage at injustice and wisdom. I rather think depression is also a part of this journey that we're on...however it can be thought of as depression when in actual fact its the 'dark night of the soul' and believe me...that is no walk in the park. It gives the same symptoms as depression but the only thing differentiating it from depression is that one can still get up and do kind things for others without thinking. The Dark Night, in the spiritual journey, is the undoing of everything we've know...or rather what the ego knows...a breaking down, weeping, meaninglessness, vastness, unknowing and can last a very long time...and for me this has gone on for years. You have great strength, even though at times it wont feel like it. You have great wisdom and learning from what you have been through...to get up everyday and do the kind things you do like listen to people who are suffering and do broadcasts like this for others...your inward journey is profound and maybe its a good thing to be off the anti-depressants where like you say...you experience your mind, your heart and your body. Don't despair, you are not alone.
Big fan of your show. I heard the last bit about being off antidepressants after a lifetime on them. I just read an expose about SSRIs on A Midwestern Doctor. The process of getting off them could be much harder than you realize. In the expose he linked to a forum of people helping each other out-http://survivingantidepressants.org/
I spent an afternoon on the forum and found it extremely informative.
Off the decades long medications 3 or 4 months? You are brave and strong. There are alot of objective conditions operating on you not just the condition of the world. Your Nerves are detoxing and trying to rewire at the same time. It will take a good while to come out of it- a process that could be a year or more at least. Water, diet exercize, rest will no doubt speed the healing. And, if you could, train your mind to be more empty...so that righteous feelings of anger stop building up in you...Because unless you are now right this minute trapped in the room with a bully, you are the only target for your anger. Not saying be all lovey and forgiving towards the craven unjusts- just saying one can learn to be more neutral and dont feel anything. Except less helpless and Maybe more free? Very Sorry if this comes off glib. So Wishing you the best.
i neglected to mention that a person can act profoundly in the world as you do and with compassion but it is so hard if they feel depleted in inside. If a person can be empty for awhile with little ideation, it is restful and restoring and can lead to stronger focus and more effective action.
I warn my friends here in Idaho not to be complacent. I moved here from Portland, and I watched Portland go from a beautiful city in the 90s to an absolute dumpster fire (particularly in the last 5 years). The animosity here in Idaho towards Californians (who moved here in droves after COVID) is palpable, and reminds me a lot of how native Oregonians reacted to Californians moving there in the 90s. Idaho has always been a bit xenophobic, partly because the folks who live here love it and don't want to see it changed. However that's changing. Boise has unfortunately become relatively liberal, although nothing like Portland of course.

Had a chance to listen last night.
Great episode, Josh.

I think it's safe (or UNsafe in this matter) to say we are totally f#@$ed!!!
We now live in a twilight episode of the upside down world in a dystopian nightmare.... good luck to us all and may God have mercy on us🙏😩💔
