I fear that a force of evil has been unleashed
If that is not enough hyperbole for you, I think it has been unleashed on the entire world, not just the United States.
I think the only thing that can defeat it is a force for good. It is a battle of darkness versus light. Perhaps you think it is only exaggeration, speaking from fear and paranoia? Perhaps?
In my opinion, it is a force unlike any we have seen since the end of WWII and the beginning of the Baby Boom generation. We have been fortunate in many, many ways.
But, many forces for good have left this world or are soon leaving it. There is a vacuum when they leave us. That vacuum will be filled by evil if we cannot gather the goodness of humankind.
In my opinion, we are witnessing a change in our world. We see it all around the world. Powerful demagogues and criminals are making their move to take over.
We must come together if mankind is to survive.
It is up to us.

Apparently Yeats saw events of the 1890s as beginning the decline of civilization, with the wars, rise of fascism, authoritarian socialism, and collapse of order in many nations following over the next quarter century. Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin the other day said she sees this this new era of destabilizing anxiety over enormous changes and threats as similar to the 1890s. (My words.)
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Time to remember that our grandparents' generations saved the United States from succumbing. They used the problems of that era to make great but stabilizing advances within the existing system, including redistribution of income and regulations on capitalism, that created our greatest period of prosperity to date.
Our turn.

Were hacked, but they don't realize it wasn't only their computers, it was their psyche. It was beyond target marketing in a broad demographic, but also personal information was individually sourced, categorized, and personalized to infiltrate personal feelings AND actions.
It was clearly information weaponized as stated in the movie to cause reactive movement both physically and emotionally. Once everyone realizes this is far more intrusive than any WW11 propaganda machine, we will be able to begin to combat this.
We may have to disconnect from the virtual world, and reconnect socially in person at grass roots levels, like talking about this with your tRump neighbors, family members, friends and community members, and start a chain of direct action by interacting with algorithms by doing, searching reading material you wouldn't normally do or read. To throw them off, so to say...until we can get data and privacy reform.
Thanks Johnny2x2x for making me more aware and concious of my online presence. It was an enlightening movie.
a cosmology that accommodates such a view, and most belief systems (like Old Testament Christianity) that would support that reading of the world at this time are an anathema to me.
But I have thought and believe something similar. Something is going on beyond what can be explained by looking logically at historical forces (like immigration) and cultural-psychological forces (repression of emotions, a hatred of change/other, etc.) Even atheists like William Carols Williams saw there was a contest between the destroyers and the light bearers (vid. "Asphodel, that Greeny Flower"
