Hi ToK Society,

An excellent --- though disturbing --- article where Yale psychiatrist, Brandy Lee, is interviewed:

"A Yale psychiatrist has warned that pro-Trump lockdown protesters, who exhibit similar psychology as 'child soldiers,' could quickly turn into 'armed troops in the streets' if the president loses his re-election bid.
"Dr. Bandy X. Lee, a forensic psychiatrist at the Yale School of Medicine, said the armed protests were a natural evolution of the loyalty President Trump demands from his supporters. Many of these protests have evidently been organized by deep-pocketed groups allied with the president."

The mentality of these people should be of deep concern to mental health professionals, and I hope it is of top priority among the mental health community right now.
