My brother, a leftist, feels the same. We’ve been talking about the insanity around us. All kinds of things happen every day that you’d not even have thought of 20 years ago.
Examples:
A mentally ill woman threw a big rock through the hair salon I visit’s window when she thought the stylist was flirting with the woman’s husband (she was absolutely not flirting). Now the woman refuses to pay for the damage so the salon has to take her to court.
Everyone I know who works in a pharmacy has been physically assaulted—grabbed by the shirt, objects thrown at them—by someone wanting pain pills. This is now a routine occurrence. I worked in a pharmacy in the 90s and never saw one single physical confrontation. And we sold booze!
All the area hospitals now have large signs on their doors about how violence toward employees is a felony and you will be charged if you get violent. Couldn’t even imagine such a thing outside a psych ward in the year 1995.
…and so on. Everyone has a million such stories these days. Something crazy is afoot, for sure.
