Lois, thanks for those comments. I’m not a therapist, however I’ve spent a lifetime as an ‘armchair psychologist’ as a result of being a military brat who moved around a lot and learned the best way to make friends was to *listen* to people, and my theological training.

Joker does a great job humanizing this one individual’s descent into his shadow self. I have much less sympathy for The Powers That Be currently wielding power in Washington D.C., precisely because they have zero empathy for those outside their social and ethnic class.
