This is a stunning thread. It should be required reading for all Americans.

Let’s not forget that part of the problem we’re having piecing things together is probably deliberately generated. Barry has talked about basically being a Rorschach card upon which the public can project their wishes/expectations/fantasies. What generates this is the ambiguity of the stimulus, so we should probably assume that he/they is/are continuing to try to be as indecipherable as possible.

I doubt it’s really a good long-term management strategy. Such unconscious desires and fears have a way of accumulating and being discharged in very unpredictable ways.
