PTSD - President Trump Serious Derangement...

Zend in zer dogs!!

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1121774613104212


I've been warning yez for years now that the current Decline Of The West will result in a government of either Extreme Left or Extreme Right.  I Told You So!!

Albo is sneaking a government of Extreme Left in on us here - at a time when the rest of the world is revolting against The Madness of uncontrolled immigration, cultural devastation, borderline thinking being the new norm, national degradation, loss of identity for the West (Mussos and Slopers have no problem with identity), division by race or ethnicity or skin colour or religion, privileges for Chosen Ones and disprivilege for the rest, and the active oppression of The People (nothing unusual in convict colony Australia - Valkie - where are you?) along with the suppression of dissidents by stripping them of social, legal and economic rights and forcing them into poverty for life for opposing New City Hall.

It's been done to Men as a group for over forty years now.... bit by bit until they have few real rights left over their own homes, family, work, and everything else, while their children are increasingly indoctrinated into The Madness from pre-school age, and some 25 years ago - I posited that once the shield and armour of men for their families in society were stripped away - women would become malleable tools in the hands of ideologues - and don't try to tell me that AlboGroup's sheilocracy of the moment is anything meaningful - most women have not and do not benefit in any meaningful way from all of this, but are assigned a spot in Tent City alongside all others as the destruction of family values and economic rights to a fair degree of prosperity in return for effort etc goes on and on to suit a self-appointed elite of the Left ... who coincidentally are profiting mightily from their own policy pursuits while you flounder in neo-poverty and many live from one meal to the next in fear of being thrown out of a rental.

Elitism - something once condemned mightily by Labour.... then Labour lost U somewhere in it ...  and polluted its philosophical stance with elitism and special interest group upraising at the expense of everyone else.      

Let My People Go - Phalbo!

This is possibly one of the best articles I've read recently about
why the now-disgraced former president continues to enjoy political
and personal support from an element of the American public.

Many explanations are proposed for the continued rise of Trump,
and the steadfastness of his support, even as the outrages and
criminal charges pile up. Trump is king of the extrinsics.

People with a strong set of intrinsic values are inclined towards
empathy, intimacy and self-acceptance. They tend to be open to
challenge and change, interested in universal rights and equality,
and protective of other people and the living world.

People at the extrinsic end of the spectrum are more attracted to
prestige, status, image, fame, power and wealth
. They are strongly
motivated by the prospect of individual reward and praise. They are
more likely to objectify and exploit other people, to behave rudely and
aggressively and to dismiss social and environmental impacts. They
have little interest in cooperation or community. People with a strong
set of extrinsic values are more likely to suffer from frustration,
dissatisfaction, stress, anxiety, anger and compulsive behaviour.

To beat Trump, we need to know why Americans keep
voting for him. Psychologists may have the answer
.

   The last para (above) sums up Trump to the letter.



It's a solid article, but honestly, it overcomplicates something pretty straightforward.

MAGA was never about facts, evidence, or any consistent worldview. It's about emotional validation, whatever reinforces their fragile identity, that's the "truth." The moment someone hands them a narrative where they're the enlightened ones, where they get to feel smarter than the scientists, the journalists, the people who paid attention in school, they're all in.

It's a movement built for those who felt humiliated by knowledge and now get to rebrand ignorance as secret wisdom. Flat-Earther logic dressed in patriot cosplay.

You can see it all over the forums too. The rage when someone introduces a fact that makes them feel small again. That's what they really hate, being reminded they don't know what they're talking about.

And now that same delusional mindset is turning on Trump. He lied too many times, even for the cult. Epstein was a line too far for some of the more heavily armed believers. Now he's the one standing in the way of their fantasy, and he's made enemies out of the very people who used to worship him.

Poetic, really. And dangerous. But I'm not looking away.

Grin Grin Grin Grin

"There is an intense and consuming stupidity within almost everything George Monbiot writes, the lumpen prose devoid of both doubt and humour. Doubt and humour are blood brothers, of course – and enemies of the kind of bovine certitude which Monbiot peddles, a cacophony of privately educated green tinged nepo leftism to which the majority of the country is rightly averse."


Rod Liddle nails it. Both Monbiot and the Granuiad.
