Here you go, Bobby. I found this just for you.

(And Frank, tallowood, aquascoot, Leroy and several others here).

A Psychiatrist Explains Why Followers Of Trump Believe Everything He Says

Dr Russell Razzaque

Quote:

Have you ever wondered why millions of people still believe Donald Trump, even when he completely contradicts himself? In this video, I look at the actual science and psychology behind this behavior to explain why his followers stay loyal through every twist and turn.

We look at how a person's childhood environment and experience with authoritarian parenting create a strong emotional connection to this leadership style. More importantly, I discuss a fascinating 2006 brain-scanning study from Emory University that reveals what happens in the human mind when passionate partisans hear political arguments.

Key insights covered in this video:
How early childhood experiences and strict parenting link directly to later political support.
Why do the parts of the brain responsible for cognitive processing and logic actually quiet down when listening to a favored leader?
How the dopamine reward circuitry triggers an immediate emotional high that retroactively rewires reality.
Why highly successful, rational, and intelligent people can still fall into this loop.
The reality behind changing political approval ratings and the unwavering hardcore group of followers.

Understanding these psychological dynamics helps us make sense of the modern political landscape and the deep divisions we see today.

Thanks for your response, Bobby. Are there times you've felt disrespected by others?

Tell me more.

Thanks, Tallow, I appreciate the honesty. It sounds like you feel cheated out of something that was precious to you.

Can you tell us what this was?

Hi Carl, I'm detecting some interest here. You're curious - you want to know more, is this right?

Definitely.

I've been trying to figure out for years what exactly makes Bobby 'tick'.

I have a feeling I'll still be trying to figure it out years from now. Undecided

I'm sensing some issues with gender here, JaSin. Is there a time you've felt this challenged in any way?

You describe men and women's hands, but stop short. Would you care to follow up on that thought?
