At President Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, the crowd reflected a fast-growing awareness that America is on the precipice — and that America is also on the cusp of being restored to its glory. Their exhilaration — and sense of community — was through the roof.
But they also expressed something less definable, something that comes with liberation: an enormous sense of relief. But relief from what? And how could it be relief with the election’s aftermath still unknown?
It was relief from something even bigger than the turmoil of this election: isolation. The walls of propaganda-induced isolation are being torn down as people lose their fear of expressing thoughts that our governing elites have deemed politically incorrect.
We’re becoming more connected as a result of speaking openly. It feels like we’re actually starting to break through the loneliness epidemic that has plagued America for too long as we shed our compliance with political correctness and the self-censorship that keeps us divided.
Political censorship plays a far bigger role in causing social isolation than we ever thought possible. We’re also learning how damaging isolation is to our psyches and society as a whole. Isolation is the constant stressor that aggravates illnesses, both physical and mental. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called it “the reigning feature of addiction” and explained that community is the only real solution:
The reining feature of addiction is isolation. Addicts end up alone. Ultimately recovery is through community. It’s the only road to recovery. #MAHA 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/nqPVXNUTxX
