Mary Trump tells Stephen Beschloss that America is so traumatized that many people do not even recognize it. She explains why trauma compounds over time, why the country lacks the tools to process it, and why healing cannot begin while the damage is still happening.

1. Mary is spot on.

It is increasingly difficult to keep myself balanced. Fortunately I sing in a choir where we are all in tune with one another and find comfort through music. This gives me hope.

2. I have never been a knowledgeable sports fan

but watching professional sports with their rules-based requirements and high expectations of good sportsmanship and respect for all players gives me some temporary relief from the madness and chaos of what is happening all around us.

3. We are all going to have PTSD

Many just tuned out with their hands over their ears currently. Dems need to give these folks hope for normalcy.
