I'm a retired mental health therapist who worked for several years with
Schizophrenics. That passage you read of Jacob Chancley is classically paranoid schozophrenia. As I recall, shortly after J6 it was said Chancley said to be mentally ill and all of a sudden he was a MAGA darling.
It correlates to Trump and the MAGA crowd. He demonstrates his own paranoia and people relate to it. We all were able to see Trump was off kilter in 2015, many therapist saw and reported he is a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. And people who are insecure in their sense of self will find similarities in the mentally ill characteristics. Statisticially, 3% of the world population have a mental illness. Sometimes I feel they are all here in the United States.
Hey Reed always a good read and podcast. Thanks for doing what you do. I'm one of those political junkies who pays close attention. The thing I always worry about is why republicans seem to think. Democrats don't know how to run for office. I know you always try to teach us something. And while we appreciate that we're all now marching towards democracy, Please please please remember where this all came from.
Fascinating. So pleased you asked Arthur about the End Times. I just wish a tough journalist would do the same with Speaker Johnson. The answer might be a revelation (no pun intended). Also amazed that even someone like Arthur could be so easily swayed by here today, gone tomorrow polls. The American school system needs to do a much better job of teaching pupils how to read polls and their sample sizes, plus where to look for their inbuilt biases.

Why Is America obsessed with crazy? My answer: "God only knows."

By-the-way, I wrote my answer with a sigh of despair.
