Americans are self-medicating. It's an evangelical existential crisis. They give up on their humanity joining the death cult of Trump. Evangelicals hate life and creation It's corrupt, impermanent, imperfect and loaded with temptation. It’s dirty. Life is transitional, an unfortunate stop on the road to salvation and communion with God. They want to be done with life. Forever.
Salvation is personal, they think, but for some reason this suicide must be cultural, communal, all-encompassing and en masse. I suppose because suicide is a sin. They murder a lot of people so those people will kill them in defense, like suicide by cop. I find it perverse. And the experience intolerable. I'd like to question them about it but I'm busy trying to prevent this catastrophe.
I think they want us to kill them, by underlying logic. Suicide by surrogate. Hence their love of guns and violence and their affection for school shootings and other cathartic arts. They want us to rise up and do whatever it takes to free them from the awful burden of life and free will, the free will they kind of deny. Maybe that's how they blow a fuse and end up with a death wish.
