I can see that there is a greater need for reason-based perspectives on the anxieties that characterize democracy today. I suggest that Hobbes has the resources to help us distinguish between reasonable and unreasonable anxieties, a task exceedingly difficult in the struggle between power and truth.

Reflecting on the past six months of a democratic government that came to power, whipping up anxiety over jobs, inflation, immigration and assumed authoritarian powers to keep not just the American people, but the global economy and the world in a continuous state of anxiety over tariffs, migration

Imo we have a system of grace and forgiveness for the rich and powerful and merciless, arbitrary harshness for most other people

Many congratulations! @brianamcginnis.bsky.social 😊👏👏🥂
