Thank you for naming how individualism makes collective grief difficult to process— I feel that so deeply!

Thank you... we're a little lost collectively aren't we? 😔❤️

As ever Lisa thank you for such a thoughtful article. I usually make sense of the individuals who double down into hate filled political ideology by understanding any challenge to beliefs feels like a personal attack so enmeshed is their belief with their identity. This article is such an interesting, compassionate and very different perspective and I wonder if it’s worth having those conversations with those potential leaders to create a space where grief can be held and processed as a community?

That sounds like an incredibly good idea. I'm going to think about how we might do that...
