It seems to me that we’ve always had people like DT around but the difference being that he literally recognizes no boundaries, will stop at nothing, and thrives on division and attention. I watch him in utter horror. There doesn’t seem to be even a molecule of decency in him. Thank you MA for helping us.
So spot on! The US is suffering because of all of this. It’s scary to think of what could happen because of it. Our country is desperate to get this resolved and be done with the orange criminal despot and mega crazies that follow him. Your wisdom and readings provide sanity and hope. Much love and appreciation to you.
@@Terry-lh8cn AND... His first presidency was to escape being prosecuted, too. He's been laundering money and working with criminal oligarchs all this life. He learned it from his daddy.... And his kids are like that, too. The one I kinda feel sad for is Ivanka, only because I truly believe her father molested her on multiple occasions.
As usual You never disappoint dear Maryann!! Thank You!! As a U.S. citizen I can honestly say that people are fed up with this disgusting example of a liar and a grifter! This Traitor trump is going to get his results of his actions!! God Bless You dear Maryann!! 🙏🙏🙏 ✨💖✨
Totally agree. The squeaking wheel gets all the attention. MOST AMERICANS (even most mainstream middle of road conservatives) DO NOT SUPPORT TRUMP. …..which is a VERY LARGE MAJORITY. Most Americans WANT Criminal Trump who thus far has been found guilty of Serial “Sexual Abuse”, OUT OF POLITICS. Most adults want Trump to BE GONE. A VAST majority of Americans want him in jail. They view Trump as a disrupter who creates chaos and causes division. You are actually speaking of about up to maybe 20% or adults….who are the loudest with their opinions. MOST “reasonable” AMERICANS know Trump is dangerous and WILL NOT EVER vote for him. The GOP is running right into a huge Black Hole of their making in 2024. They deserve to be voted out of office after almost 4 years of REVENGE POLITICS towards Democrats. AND, BIDEN still is managing to pass bills trying to get things done for Americans.
Absolutely 💯. As Bob Woodward said to Ari Melber, Vote, Vote , Vote 🗳 Blue, straight down the ballot, even for local elections such as School Board members. We have to stop this here and now. 🇺🇲💙✌
So true that he shattered civilized behavior. I've been experiencing it in my own life- the way people follow his boorish,vulgar, and hurtful behavior. They target kind people like me and the result is I no longer go to social occasions because I find them so traumatic. IS Australia better? I'm in a constant stare of shock how uncivilized many people have become in America.
🙏 An added note: Just a reminder that Trump had his predatory lowest common denominator "reality" show, The Apprentice, for 20 years. It modeled predatory behavior and rewarded anyone participating on the show who displayed dominating, predatory and degrading qualities. That show took over pop culture for the unemployed, uneducated and alienated. They wanted to be the one who said, "You're fired!" I believe that show "groomed" Trump's base. If you look at the numbers, the percentage who watched that show matches the percentage that revere trump now. I blame the anemic public educational system in our country. Elimination of courses like critical thinking, civics, American history. It's a hot mess.
I do so agree. And in the UK we had our own version. More of a comedy I suspect but still validating behaving selfishly and taking no responsibility for the victims created.
Very interesting thought about "The Apprentice". I only watched for about 5 minutes once, it was blatantly apparent he was a narcissist. The point you made about people being groomed from it makes complete sense. Thanks for sharing, it never dawned on me till you brought it up. Sad that he is just as repulsive now as he was back then....🤮🤢
American here again, I cannot wrap my head around the MAGA people. A lot live in rural areas in the South I have noticed. The pictures of Jesus have been replaced by enormous posters of Trump on their walls. *Shudder I saw it! American Trump lovers will kill for him. This is has been demonstrated. I do not understand it. Nor do other anti Trump people. In some areas you have to whisper about your dislike of Trump in public places , other Americans know what I mean ! Thank you MaryAnn ❤️
@@creatingyourlifeconsciously 'Half the country doesn't vote at all' That's why it's vital that not only do people get out and vote themselves, but that all those who are able, participate in educating those non-voters as to why their vote matters, help register them, and provide whatever practical or other assistance may be needed to cast their votes. I remember saying this in 2016, but most people seemed pretty convinced there was no chance of Mr Trump winning, and shrugged it off. I just hope the same mistake is not repeated in 2024.
It’s been shocking to see so many Americans choose to believe in Trump. I’ve lived my whole life on the west coast in two of the bluest states of the country and believed the USA was progressively getting over the divisions. Vote Blue in 2024! Thank you Maryann.
That is why the 2016 election was such a shocker, I also thought that this country had progressed, but we now also know that the trump win in 2016 was helped by Russian troll farms as well as shady doings to demonize HRC.
As a US citizen I cannot understand the cult mentality in the face of hard facts like an Insurrection, either. Thank you Maryann. This was a terrific confirmation that despite all the noise by the corporate media, we are moving in the right direction toward peace and harmony.
I don't think many of us will EVER understand the behaviors they have exhibited. In the Republicons I know, it's the Greed factor, period. Keep the wealthy tax breaks rolling in and they will vote for him. Sad 😥
One of the many terrible things he's done is give people the freedom to express their hatred, sexism and racism. I see it on Nextdoor, in a microcosm. Someone posted about the car ahead of her deliberately running over a turtle. She stopped to try to help it, but couldn't. She cried. People were openly mocking her. That's just a small example, but people now feel free to let their true feelings out, when before it was less acceptable. He has opened Pandora's box.
I just lost my 16 yr old 🐕. My friend offered to dig a grave for her. When he told his roommate what he was doing, he laughed and said 'That's ridiculous, it's only a dog". I was so hurt. Imagine being completely devoid of feeling or compassion towards people or animals. I know that I need to pray for him to become a real person and experience emotions like most of us do. 😪
So true - Trump has given people to be their worst selves. What has happened to kindness and empathy? Thanks for being one of those beautiful people who give a damn ! ❤
4 letter word-CULT. Heard a very studied scholar, Dr Steven Hassan on “The Weekend Show” on Meidas Touch Network. Dr Hassan is clear in presenting a very difficult movement.
And through Hassan, I came across an amazing documentary yesterday. It’s called “The Brainwashing of My Dad.” It lays out ring wing propaganda, and its rise, step by step over the decades. Highly recommended!
I have family members who are hardcore MAGA trump supporters. Recently, I have noticed a shift in their tone when discussing trump. I found it interesting that even though they still worship him they concede he may not win (something they never would have admitted to in the past).
Well, looks like we are a crossroads, yet once again. The perfect storm has happened. We always seem to arrive at the debris field left by the storm sooner or later. Did we miss the lesson? Did we learn anything? Or, are we going to keep digging the hole deeper? The world didn’t grow up, mature, and gain wisdom. It reverted to the most destructive and childish behaviors. When I look out, I see children fighting, yet they appear to be adult in size. A playground brawl, a lunchroom food fight, a fight in the hallway, destroying property because they didn’t get their way. I laugh at reality TV, that BS is so far from reality, it is 6 steps below delusion. The world is filled with billions of manipulative land mines. So overloaded with stimuli that the only peace to be found is deep within a forest. We are energy and light. We battle hourly the electronic forces that take away our magnetic field that surrounds and protects us. We are living in the age of incompetent ‘know it alls’. The scammers and frauds have been with us since the dawn of time. They just haven’t had the electronic world as their stage ever before. We are battling the pandemic or plague of ignorance. Peace and the rats will devour one another. Time and patience.
It's baffling to me. He's a person with no apparent redeeming qualities. I don't know how people don't see him for what he is. He's even physically repulsive, and says ugly things in an ugly tone. My friend follows a lot of spiritual/new age groups and says there is a lot of support in that community for him. How? I don't understand.
Maybe they support him because he tears everything down to the ground. I've found that some people support that and they are blind to what he was putting in place. Some spiritual people believe that every system we have must go entirely and that there shouldn't be any new systems. Their blindness to the darkness he ushers in is scary.
I don’t understand, either. People say they like his policies and what he’s done. I see nothing that he did to make anyone’s life better except his rich donors and corporations.
I always look forward to hearing your voice...tempered with wisdom and clarity. I noticed I was feeling quite anxious when I was listening to this because it was a reminder of the trauma Trump and his cult have inflicted on this country. I cannot get the images of January 6 out of my mind. I weep inside when I see videos. I am putting my faith in the voices and strength of women to save and bring this country back from the brink. Bless you, Maryann. Your readings and podcasts are providing a valuable and positive resource for all of us. Hope you feel the abundance of gratitude.
So much magical thinking in America. A psychotic break as occurred . Much of the religious christian beliefs are magical thinking. I remember my mother , a fundamentalist christian, telling me there was no such thing as magic. Magic is “make believe”, what Disney does. My 6 year old self said, but God and Jesus are magic, aren’t they. She believed Jesus turned water into wine, but that was a miracle not magic. I struggled to understand the difference. God parted the Red Sea, but that wasn’t magic , it was a Devine act. It’s not hard to see how fundamental evangelicals can easily believe in what ever trump and the magas tell them. Republicans are Christian. One in the same. Magical thinking , miracle thinking.
The people don't believe in Trump what they support is he gives permission for them to express every ugly hateful thoought they have while telling them that they are the ones that are abused and they have the right to take out their resentment against anyone who does not agree with them
It makes me very weary,,, when will we ever learn,,,I hope that after all is said and done, that we will finally move to a higher vibration on this planet,,,those who refuse to understand will have to live in a lower vibration planet until they do understand,,, Thank you dear Maryann ❤️ Much love and light to you and this community 🙏🕯️
Thank you so much Maryann. If he is elected we won’t be able to get rid of him. He wants to be President (dictator) forever. It’s awful to to imagine. Love you Maryann. Peace be with you. ✌️
Thank You Maryann for explaining so clearly how this man conned so many people. The disenfranchised felt they were finally heard and had a voice and so would follow him. I hope we in future will give these poor disenfranchised people what they need so they don’t feel they have to become Fringe, Violent Organizations…maybe it’s too much to hope for but I stand in confirmation we are ALL connected and should have a voice.
The thing is these poor disfranchised people are that way for a lot of them because of their own life choices that they made over the years and they don’t want to take responsibility and face consequences of those terrible choices and was looking for someone, group etc to blame and trump provided that. I firmly believe people who take responsibility for their own life choices whether they are poor, middle class, rich, black, white, brown and sexual orientation are probably not trump supporters.
@@tracymorgan5386 I somewhat agree. Many of these people don't want to make decisions for themselves and their own lives. They take marching orders from tRump. On the other hand you have the greed filled people who don't care what he does as long as they get to keep the tax breaks for the rich flowing in, he's got their vote. It comes down to the cash flow. I have one of these in my family sad to say. We haven't spoken in 6 yrs. 🤯🤑😒
The bottom line, core issue underneath all of this insanity is. . . . racism. They remember he made it ok to be racist. I heard recently that Eckert Tolle said, "The new is here, and the old is making a lot of noise as it dies."
I was listening to a podcast about agency and relationships. She made a point of the importance of knowing ourselves. It sounds simple but it’s not easy. I do agree with the sentiment. If you ask Trump supporters why they love him, they can’t put their reasons into words. When they do give an example, for instance he tells the truth…the interviewer points to the contradiction in their thinking. It comes across like they can’t even define what truth is for themselves. I also hear the same arguments verbatim in each interview. Like a group think dynamic. Fascinating reading Maryanne. I love how you broke down the reasons here. It may not change anything but it really does help to understand. Sending love and gratitude 🙏🏽 ❤
Thank you so much we have to pray and keep praying and vote and ask god to give us the most benevolent outcome for us I have no desire to let mean angry hateful people run the country I live in I pray and vote so every one can have their life the life that will make them happy as long as they do not hurt anyone
It is a process of learning to choose to live with harmony and peace with the focus on what is beneficial for our humanity and our individual rights of our lives. We all are truly essential and worthy of love and kindness in respect for each other and ourselves. The years of inadequacy in our public schools and the indoctrination of our children to be helpless victims of assault weapons is insanity and is very dangerous for a society to endure for so long. We all have so much stress and the constant fears of homelessness and illnesses that are happening in our midst. We are all engaged in competitive adversaries and the celebration of aggressive behavior that is normalized in our lives with each other in work and in play. People feel unheard and they are very afraid and not hopeful for their lives in the ability to prosper or to be comfortable in life. We see the rise of gangs for each generation of people. Parenting is a time consuming process and people have no time to spend with the children or even care for their own personal interests. The fears are real and they are threatening our sanity and our humanity. We don't know our neighbors and we are all tired and overwhelmed with the ability to make changes that matter for our health and safety. We have a crazy making media and a lot of people who are not concerned about the world and the environment and how to behave with harmony and peace with integrity and empathy ❤ They want power and demand to be heard. They are not receptive to the ideals of peace and love through inclusion and respect for each other. It is a constant struggle for them and they are not concerned with truth, compassion, kindness, respect for others who are different from them. It is a gang, a cult, a real problem for us all in our lives and our world. They preach end times and they are heavily armed with assault weapons and they are threatening our lives and our Democracy and our civil rights and the desire for peace love and understanding through this situation of lack of honesty and the ability to infiltrate our government and to be inspired to make our future bleak and more chaotic than we ever imagined possible. We are witnessing a worldwide crisis that is threatening our existence. This is a very intense time for us to realize our commonality and our humanity through our actions and our understanding of what is at stake. Fascism is a very real problem. It has been reinvigorated by the actions of the ex president's numerous crimes and the followers of this corrupt group of people who are in a place of war with the goodness of the other people who are not loyal to their own power hungry destruction and their actions for the future attacks on our schools, our freedoms, our minds and our future survival and peace. We have a choice of what we want rather than the victimization of our lives in the present attacks on our lives and our Democracy and our decency and our humanity. Thanks Maryann for taking the time to speak about this time of countless horrible actions that threaten our world. We all have to remain aware and steadfast in our own lives with clarity and the desire for peace and healing with doing things that are beneficial for our future survival and peace. Protecting our votes and the use of communication and the ability to be present in our truth and our love for each other and the environment and ourselves as a united force of love and support for the sake of our sanity and our humanity and our diversity as a worldwide community that is peaceful and harmoniously thriving in a world of love and kindness and compassion for all people equally ❤ 💜 💙 Thanks to all of you dear people who are in a place of communion with the love of life and the blessings of finding common ground and to live accordingly with generosity and gentleness and respect for all people equally ❤ We are the majority and we have the ability to be present in our lives with the constant realization of how to create a sanctuary for us all to function effectively as humane people who are not uneducated and have a handle on the energies of cooperation and truth and the way of being able to make peace and to get along with each other regardless of our race, economic situation, religious affiliation, gender or any other things that are seen as a means of hostility and misunderstanding. Diversity is a strength for us all in understanding the importance of different perspectives and the grace of being unique individuals ❤
It is a small percent of Americans that support Trump. I never drank the koolaide he reminded me to much of people I knew growing up I could spot some like him a mile away. Love and light to you, your family and fur babies!
Thank you, Maryann! I long for a simpler time when you voted and congratulated the winner and then you went about your own business. I’m sick of the craziness, I don’t recognize my own country much anymore! Thanks for keeping us sane and knowing there is always hope! 💕👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💙
Thank you for using. Your platform for stating what so many of us think. Surely in this great country we can find our senses before our country falls further into this abyss. ❤
@@Terry-lh8cn it blew my mind. He assaulted a friend of mine in an elevator back in 2004. Her mother believed her when it happened. Then said in 2016-“stop making up stories. You are old and fat he’d never have touched you”. In 2016 she was 40 and popped out a few kids. In 2004-she was stunning. She hasn’t spoken to her mother since 2016. His followers are in a cult. So heartbreaking.
Thank you for your perspectives even before your reading: we Americans have been absolutely eviscerated by Trump’s antics and I have never been so exhausted as a reasonable Independent voter who can recognize the genuine threat to democracy.
I love your podcasts! This one really hit home. I still have trouble understanding why good people think "he, who shall not be named" is their savior. They just cannot see the danger and the damage "he" has done. I ask "Spirit" every time to help these people see the truth. Thank you so much for being here to help us all through the mess "he" has created. You are greatly appreciated!
He had over 4,000 lawsuits against him before getting into the WH. Dozens of claims of assault of women. And yet, here we are, nothing seems to matter.
And that's true.. I read his book well before he entered politics and was astounded by some of the things , particularly the bankruptcy comments ... I was absolutely astounded🥺🥺🤔🤔
Let’s all do our part to keep this great democracy we have. I know I plan on doing all I can to keep this country going on the path we have now. Is it perfect? No. I think we can do better. I do think that Biden will be re-elected and I do hope, trust, and pray that I never have to fear another president as I feared that one. Thank you Maryann ❤ 💙🙏😇💫
It looks like America is a sore that is having a hard time healing. It is also look like Trump took the bandage off to exposed the many corrupts that has been going on, but was was covered by lies and deceitfulness. Maybe, we have to go thru these changes to see who we really are.
I have a friend who I really like he's actually a very sweet person. But he is an ardent Trump supporter. He lives in a rural state. He is 70 years old and a Vietnam Veteran. Thus far, I have not been able to shake him out of his delusion. I know Trump is going down and I know Trump is a criminal and I know Trump is a terrible person that notwithstanding. It is un decipherable to me why anyone would still support him. I think my friend thinks the left is corrupt. My friend does not trust the government, especially reflecting upon his Vietnam experience. I just try not to let him trick my trigger because I know the truth, and the light will be shining on the truth. An old saying it all comes out in the wash.
Good times good times here. Waiting for the madness to end. The manipulation of religion as a political weapon. Trouncing on others rights in the name of freedom is almost the definition of insanity. Hard to be patient in the U S even knowing that lessons need to unfold
I wonder this every single day. It's surreal. I used to live in Canada and came back to the US for request by family. I truly wish I still lived in Canada.
3 of my oldest, dearest friends LOVE 45! I refuse to engage in any political discussions with them, but they are so brainwashed (Fox News fans), it really concerns me
An incredible amount of Ad revenue needs to be sold daily by media, cable TV, news and "news" shows, RU-vid, and as long as that fact remains division, detraction, distractions, arguments, politics, and unruly behavior will continue to grab the views. A Kumbaya country will not cause people to want to catch the news , discuss on media, or ask a tarot reader will tomorrow be as uneventful as today?
