The "It Can't Happen Here" Trance

Don't Go There

In the Dredd Blog series about The Despotic Minority (How To Identify The Despotic Minority, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) it was pointed out that historically civilizations "go down" by the actions of minority within a culture that is overcome with, among other things, the "It Can't Happen Here" trance.

"I am shocked" is a statement that was made in a lot of venues yesterday.

It was so yesterday:

"Meanwhile, the ongoing impeachment is a fundamental act of resistance to The Despotic Minority (How To Identify The Despotic Minority, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) which has injected itself into the American Bloodstream (like toxoplasma gondii).

But, contrary to the It Can't Happen Here Trance (Choose Your Trances Carefully, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), it has already happened."

(The Shape Shifters Of Bullshitistan - 21, 2019, red added). I once did a post that made the statement "The Constitution Is Quite A Medicine" but now I must point out that waxing complacent can neutralize even a good prescription, because that type of complacency is a type of poison.

The "no-one can tell the future" trance is in full bloom too (Here Come De Conservative Judges - 13).
