Depression

 

Pinocchio by Enrico Mazzanti

Over 333.3 million American are depressed. That’s more than the entire population or over one for every 333.3 million people. Depressions are also holes or dropping points in an otherwise flat surface, but that's a matter that has little to do with the mental health of the citizens of this country. Lot of people have addressed depression but if everyone suffers from it, then it's no longer an anomaly. Imagine a population of people who all suffered from psychosis and were delusional. Normalizing any state of mind confers a legitimacy on it. If we all think there are gremlins outside the window, then that becomes the reality. It's unbearably simplistic to carry this argument into the political sphere where lying has become the lingua franca and the Big Lie about the 2020 election is accepted by MAGA Republicans as a form of scientific truth--but here you go.
