It is as bad as you say and worse. Dr David Hawkins identified misinformation and our failure to reduce and realize it as the likely downfall of our civilization. In his book “Truth versus Falsehood” he identifies Trump years before we ever heard his name. He identifies the enemies of the world as “malignant messianic narcissistic despotism ” or some similar words. Trump is our satan and he must be stopped or we all will fall. He is more that a malignant narcissist. He is a megalomaniac.
