Trump “the greatest psychiatric disaster in history”

Post Reply New Topic

Now it’s our gene pool against their gene pool. Trump and his people just made it very explicit. Trump’s basic theme is “I am the alpha male of the white people. If you want to live follow me” — and they did.

He’s a cult leader. As such, his charisma is transactional. The followers endow the authoritarian leader with authority that is completely impervious to facts and reality.

Donald Trump is going to be like Bonnie and Clyde; he’s going to shoot his way out. The best way for him to shoot his way out is to start a war and distract from his misdeeds, rally the country behind him and — most importantly from a psychological perspective — to transform the feeling of being a weak victim of a massive criminal investigation into that of an omnipotent destructive and powerful leader by destroying and killing millions of people.

It’s affecting people very powerfully. There is an enormous amount of anxiety. It is almost at epidemic levels due to Trump. The real truth of it is that if you are not having a panic attack right now, you are not paying attention. If somebody is trying to kill you and you are afraid, that’s not anxiety, that’s fear. It is rational.
