I think it would be helpful to re-incorporate degrees of asleep or awake. You are so right. We are trying to awaken the late sleepers. 100%. Every little bit that they stir is a help.

I wrote here years ago about how a tantrum ends. It fell on deaf ears. Maybe now? When mama loses her shit and is absolutely furious (and probably completely wrong and out of line but still is mama and therefore no one is the boss of her), dad waits. Dad waits until a certain subtle diminishment in the strength of her storm. He says calm. He makes coffee. And then at the key moment, he makes a terrible joke. Mama spins to glare at Dad. And then she cannot stay angry. To preserve her dignity she says something ridiculous, fixes on some tiny redeeming aspect (because she is embarrassed) and the storm is over.

Karens of both sexes are running out of steam everywhere. They won't come over graciously but who cares?

I have known for years and years that you cannot pay someone to care. Genuine caring is always volunteer work. However, what I have realized thanks to you (thank you so much) is that Soros cannot pay people to be angry either. HA!
