Thank you for your message and tips jessica 💕

My husband listened to this today. He said that it was enlightening for him personally His mother has been enamored by a personality cult of a person with dictatorial ambitions and he has been struggling to understand why.

I finally listened to this. I’m going to share it with my husband. I have the same concerns. What is helping me keep it in perspective is to remember that people have always lived with uncertainty - whether it be with pregnancy before modern medicine, plague, etc. Control is mostly an illusion anyway - in my extremely humble opinion. I have updated our emergency supplies and we’ve got a plan in case something happens. Let’s hope for the best!

Jessica Trump

Shucks, not fun!! Get better!

Ps Dr John I relate re too thinky brain into realism. I was reminded years ago it’s ok my brain is into fault detecting and seeing negatives as long as I look at the positives too. Which is increasingly hard in these times. The news is very depressing and it must be especially hard on Dr John being a bit of a history nerd, it’s scary to see how humans don’t seem to have learnt from the past and knowing too much history can make for scary feelings when we see what looks like horrible patterns from the past. See how cheery I can be ? It’s hard to see a silver lining- but we just gotta keep breathing and looking at the real true good things. And maybe come visit me in Australia and take a road trip.

Interesting connection to people who are fans of these tyrant types having potentially had similar relationships with parenting? I’d not thought of that. I always think if people had bossy fathers they’d go the other direction. But at the same time, I know a few men who have married tyrannical women who are like their bossy mothers. Like they want someone else to control their lives or something. I went through DV with a tyrant but my dad was a gentle strong silent type of bloke - which is probably why it was so easy for me to see his behaviour wasn’t ok and I didn’t deserve it or want to hang around. I did have the guilt and pity for his broken tough guy thing, but I think was able to seperate that out cos of my upbringing. Got me thinking about some of the true followers of tyrants I see defying logic.

I read between the lines and occasionally thought Dr John was secretly talking about Trumpet as well. Critical father - absent mother Etc etc etc There is an interesting book written by a load of psychologists - Duty to Warn ? I think it’s called. But sadly at this stage I don’t think it’s much use trying to engage with any of the far gone conspiracy folks - they just dig in deeper. Many of them will probably think this podcast is bad cos they probably like Putin

Vicki

This is off the subject, but I'd love to hear Dr. John's thoughts about Darrell Brooks. He's so competently incompetent imo lol 🤪

Bjorn

This was a good one! I connected a bunch of dots about my own upbringing as well. Dr. John knows his stuff. Thank you! Both of you.

Debi

Thank you. I was so unsure about posting. I love that Dr. John is able to confirm what I hope sane Americans already know but we’ve been so intimidated to speak out that it’s been hard on the mental health of so many of us. The threat of retaliation by the followers of a certain former (yes, he really lost) president is real. As a retired librarian, I think of The Emperor’s New Clothes and “divide and conquer” mixed with cult insanity. We’ve considered moving out of the country but we still have young grandchildren nearby to play with❤️

Marcella Able

Love these talks. I always learn something I didn’t know. Big fan!

Anna Bergquist

Brava Debi! I couldn’t agree more. I’m assuming it’s not talked about because Hidden wants to avoid politics entirely. (Religion can’t be avoided in the Daybell case.) Too risky these days. I’m 74 but I’m losing hope for us too. So sad to contemplate.

Debi

Wow! Thank you! Is it my need for “confirmation bias” after experiencing the last 6+ years of listening to MAGA fanatics spread lies, hatred, bullying and similar “follower behavior” of the tyrant in our midst? I love this podcast! It’s interesting that we all have to dance around the subject of a former president who displays the same attributes as Putin. Do we not speak directly because we don’t want to consider the behavior as dangerous? I know that there are people in other countries who openly discuss their fears and criticism about American nationalists, QAnon and the radical right. It is not just the political nature but the religious component too. At 69 years old, I’m losing hope for my country. BTW, Dr John my granddaughter is graduating from USC this year with a degree in psychology. Next stop is law school.

Paulee Gregory

This is fascinating! Thank you for sharing.

I’m glad you are on the mend. My mental health won’t let me think about world events right now. I’m not having mental health issues, but don’t want to. I’m keeping healthy by staying away from things I can’t control. It’s kind of ironic that I am a true crime fan, but can’t look at current events or Putin. 🤷🏻‍♀️. I don’t think I am the only one though.
