NAOMI KLEIN GIVES ME THE BEST EXPLANATION I HAVE SEEN OR HEARD REGARDING OUR INABILITY TO CONTEND, OR EVEN EXPLAIN, DONALD TRUMP. SHE DESCRIBES "SHOCK DOCTRINE" AS "A BRUTAL TACTIC OF SYSTEMATICALLY USING THE PUBLIC'S DISORIENTATION FOLLOWING A COLLECTIVE SHOCK---WARS, COUPS, TERRORIST ATTACKS, MARKET CRASHES, OR NATURAL DISASTERS--TO PUSH THROUGH RADICAL PRO-CORPORATE MEASURES." AFTER REELING FROM HIS ELECTION, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUR BARRINGS. PEOPLE ARE NOT ACTING IN THEIR BEST INTERESTS. WE SEEM SO DISORIENTED THAT WE DON'T KNOW, OR NO LONGER CARE, WHAT IS BEST FOR US. WE'VE SEEN SHOCK POLITICS AT WORK SINCE 9/11, HURRICANE KATRINA, THE IRAQI WAR, AND NOW THE ELECTION OF TRUMP. IT IS TIME FOR US TO GATHER OURSELVES. BECAUSE WE ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT MUCH FURTHER. THERE IS A WHOLE LOT AT STAKE.
