Wow, this is very depressing. Perhaps many people don’t want freedom. Perhaps freedom is too heavy a burden. Perhaps it is easier for many people to surrender control over their lives to an ideology or a leader. Freud wrote a book called “Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego”which explains, maybe better than anything else, the phenomenon of surrender to a cult leader (Jones, Trump). Perhaps, after all, democracy can’t survive because of human nature. Maybe John Adams was onto something. Robby
