EP64: From Mugshot to Mugs, a Donald Trump story - Gracearchy with Jim Babka
Season 2 Episode 64
Bipartisan Boom in Trump Mug Shot Merchandise Demonstrates the Healing Power of Commerce https://reason.com/2023/08/28/bipartisan-boom-in-trump-mug-shot-merchandise-demonstrates-the-healing-power-of-commerce
That's an article by Christian Britschgi of Reason about Trump's Atlanta arrest. It offers a real grace perspective, so...
We need to salute this wonderful bit of journalism!
Haters and lovers of the former president can both express their diametrically opposed views with a Trump mug-shot mug.
Bill Protzmann and I highlight the best of this wonderful article. We explain...
* The way partisanship is failing in this instance
* How people on each side won
* Why freedom helps us get along and increases harmony
* The way democracy encourages division and ugliness
* Why we need relief valves, such as laughter and grace
Plus, we pave a path to Post-Statism. https://zeroaggressionproject.org/mental-lever/post-statism/
