Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : In the US, a huge factor in the crisis in our psyches is four years of Trump in power, followed by nearly four more years of Trumpism.
53% : A US flag flies upside-down in front of the supreme court justice Samuel Alito's home for several days in early 2021, in seeming support of the January 6 insurrection, but he declines to recuse himself from matters concerning Trump.
47% : That impact is probably best described as moral injury, which a veterans' organization defines as "the psychological, social and spiritual impact of events involving betrayal or transgression of one's own deeply held moral beliefs and values occurring in high stakes situations".
41% : Although Covid was a scourge across the globe, far more people - about 8 million - die every year from breathing air polluted by burning fossil fuel, and that's only one aspect of the devastation, and only to our species.
26% : The evangelical Christian who became the speaker of the House shows up to support Trump in his criminal election fraud trial due to hush money paid to a porn star and decries his guilty verdict and with it the justice system.
24% : In any previous era, these outrages and dozens of others would have been treated as shocking scandals; now each outrage seems to crowd out the next so that, for example, Trump's dinner with fossil fuel executives, in which he asked for a $1bn campaign contribution in return for slashing climate legislation, has been reported on almost with complacency.
