Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

    Feel like it should be required in High School to learn enough psychology to understand how your brain works.

    I have been saying this like a crazy person to anyone who will listen. There are so, so many misconceptions about how our very system of awareness works, and if we put less trust in the things we think and feel, we would all do a lot better in our lives, we would listen more, we would rethink things, we would examine ourselves and actually consider how and why we make decisions.

    But half the time when I try to tell this to someone they feel automatically attacked and challenged. “Why does it always have to be MY fault? Don’t you think other people might be the assholes who aren’t thinking right?”
