A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Tell yourself, when you feel exasperated and out of all patience, that this mortal life endures but a moment; it will not be long before we shall one and all have been laid to rest.
 
[ὅταν λίαν ἀγανακτῇς ἢ καὶ δυσπαθῇς, ἀκαριαῖος ὁ ἀνθρώπειος βίος καὶ μετ᾿ ὀλίγον πάντες ἐξετάθημεν.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 11, ch. 18 (11.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]

What makes Trump unusual, is the synthesis of Berlusconi's #shamelessness, Andrew Jackson's #grievance (election fraud obsession), Napoleon III's institutional #vandalism (in the name of "people against system"), Longian #clientelism, Chavista #polarization, George Wallace-style cultural #backlash, P.T. Barnum's #hoax culture, Caligula's murderous #arbitrariness, Nero's #narcissism, and Mussolini's corporate strongman aesthetics. Compound into a single organism sustained by #X and #FoxNews

"In a meticulously reported, two-part Vanity Fair investigation based on 11 interviews with Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, the façade of unity inside the Trump operation cracked wide open. What emerged was not a flattering portrait of a disciplined administration, but a candid, deeply troubling assessment of a presidency defined by chaos, grievance, and recklessness."

"Ample evidence suggests that alienated and angry people have built communities around shared grievances. More broadly, millions of Americans feel left behind, under siege, and out of opportunities. The acceptance and fellowship that #online communities bring, be they subreddits and #Facebook groups or anonymous message boards, allow #grievance to harden into a full-fledged identity. ... these feelings frequently turn to hate."

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

To have a grievance is to have a purpose in life. A grievance can almost serve as a substitute for hope; it not infrequently happens that those who hunger for hope give their allegiance to him who offers them a grievance.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 166 (1955)

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

We derive a certain satisfaction from being sinned against. It is not only that a grievance adds content to our lives, but also that it makes less monstrous the flame of malice which like a vigil light flickers in the dimness of our souls.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 120 (1955)

Tuning in to #gbnews to watch coverage of #kneecap #glasto25 set. Treated to a gloriously comic display of wobbly lower lips and snowflakery as guests provide a safe space for each other's delicate and bruised feelings. At the core of their political #grievance appears to be that free speech is good but not when the speech is so naughty and hurty that it makes them want to cry.

What is MAGA exactly, in a psychological, spiritual, and sociological way? The author of this article brilliantly describes it all to a T, better than I have read anywhere else. We still don’t have a prescription, but at least we have a full-throated, professional explanation.
