We all agree, Trump’s GOP and the MAGA faithful are deeply enthralled in a ‘mysterious’ and lethal mass hysteria.
It’s growing in its intensity, to our immediate jeopardy.
We’ve seen this before: Germany, Cambodia, Rwanda.
It leads to a genocide if we fail to stop it. It spreads quickly, feeds on lies, and laughs at suffering.
I know it intimately, but I know it as Mobbing Syndrome.

When a crow detects a threat to their nest, be it a snake or owl, they rally other crows for help.
Oddly, other bird species join in this frenzy to eliminate the threat. Together, they form a unanimous malevolent will, to either drive it away or to kill it.

In 1990, Dr. Heinz Leymann used Mobbing to describe a contagious and deadly industrial disease lurking in hierarchical and competitive occupations.
From the Latin, 𝘌 for ‘out of’ and 𝘓𝘐𝘔𝘌𝘕 for ‘threshold’ – a Mobbing is a similarly dreadful eliminative lust.

Whether it’s the Chief Eliminator’s insecurity, their sense of inadequacy, or envy, or shame, Mobbing’s origins are born out of their fears and their smears.

My suggestion of a Mobbers’ twin affliction is novel. I have not encountered anything like it during my research.
In fact, I encountered attempts to find ‘reasonable explanations’ for Mobbing Syndrome’s pathogenesis; using common variables one might expect in the origins of

any disease as predictable in its furious course and its frightful conclusions, as this one is.
To identify the two maladies as distinct but distinctly related, I named both after Janus, the Roman god depicted with two faces (I’ll spare you the Latin, this time).

One face looking backward and one looking forward, they are sometimes called the Janus Geminis.
Janus is the god of keys, gates, transitions, and the beginnings and endings of conflicts and wars.
For Targets, Janus Imprisoned.
And for Mobbers, Janus Laughs at the Darkness.

Anosognosia can appear with psychosis or mania, and seems likely it would appear in a mass-Mobbing of this scale.
It also frequently accompanies dementia. As I am suggesting that Mobbing (in general) and the Mobbing of the United States are each a form of deliberate dementing,

some examination of the aptly named 7 A’s of Dementia will pay dividends.
I am primarily interested in 5 of dementia’s common losses, and the importance of exactly these key ingredients, within the frame of our current global peril.

These symptoms are:
• Altered perception
(loss of visual perception)
• Agnosia (loss of recognition)
• Apathy
(loss of initiation, empathy)
• Anosognosia
(no knowledge of illness)
• Amnesia (loss of memory)

The final two in dementia’s suite of 7 A’s are:
• Aphasia
(loss of language)
• Apraxia
(loss of purposeful movement)
Though they surface, they only punctuate this diagnosis.
