i remember one of my old girlfriends used to read marianne williamson and i thought she was pretty new age whacked but i read in the intercept the stuff she's saying and though she probly doesn't have a chance in maga hell of being the next occupant i want to cheer her on.

“There is an injustice that continues to form a toxicity underneath the surface, an emotional turbulence,” she said, but “people heal when there’s some deep truth-telling.”

...[P]olitics isn’t about what we call “politics.” It’s not ultimately about taxes, or budgets, or immigration, or regulations. It’s about hope and fear, and love and hate. Donald Trump definitely knows this — in fact, it may be the only thing he knows about politics. And it was enough to get him elected president. He may not understand what she means when she says that “only love” can beat him in 2020, but he surely intuitively understands that to win he needs to nurture the opposite, what Williamson called the “dark psychic force of collectivized hatred.”
 
can you just imagine an occupant saying that?
