Trump is America's Collective Unconscious

The Unconscious is the part of our mind where we keep - the disreputable, but active parts of the mind, that we do not want to know about. When it acts, as it sometimes does, we can always disown those actions - as those of another, mysterious person - that we cannot change.

When Trump does. all the crazy things that he does, people treat him the same way - as actions of a deranged mind, they cannot change. And do not want to change, because he is part of them - the unconscious part of them.

There is a balance of power between the conscious and the unconscious, in every person, and every nation. When the unconscious gets the most power, craziness results, and they become dysfunctional.

I grew up in a time, the last half of the last century, when America was becoming dysfunctional - and was not aware of this.

But, at the same time, the Computer, and its Software - was making America stronger than ever.

There are now two cultures in America - Hardware and Software. And they coexist together uncomfortably.
