"Ghost Dance USA" is a short essay by Karl Jones.

Ghost Dance USA

People in societies under intolerable pressure experience prophecy and superstition.

Symptoms are Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression — the first four stages of the five-stage Kübler-Ross model.

Everything but the acceptance.

Commentary

Dismantling their world

Trump's people are angry and frightened
And with good reason.
We humanists are dismantling their world.

Deranged by their decline

Deranged by their decline, white people pretend that they have magic powers.

Stockholm Syndrome

Stockholm Syndrome turns to Ghost Dance when Death robs the bank.

So-called White people whose numbers are in decline and feel any emotion about that fact, I am thinking of you.

Doubling Down on Trump

It does seem that a great snake's nest of evil is out and open in the public like never before.

Crazy gun-toting Americans, sure.

But these crazies in office? and it's okay, the GOP is doubling down on Trump?

This is pathology.
