Trump Derangement Syndrome
Is TDS an example of mass formation psychosis? Do you believe Trump is an immoral person who tells lies? So far so good. People have probably applied this to almost all modern presidents at one time or another. Do you disagree with the recent SCOTUS decision granting Trump limited immunity and feel he should be prosecuted for varied crimes? I disagree but you're still within the pale. Do you believe the former POTUS is an actual threat to democracy if he wins a second term? Now you're crossing over. If Trump gets another term in office do you really think he'll install himself dictator for life and cancel all future elections? Now you need someone to talk to. Studies show dictators had to have the full weight of the military behind them first and also weren't pushing 80 as a general rule. Now there was Trump's recent speech to a Christian group saying they'll only have to vote this one time but most of the media clipped out the next few seconds when Trump explained because the problems will be fixed opening up a more prosaic interpretation. Biden's failed covid vaccine mandate for companies with over 100 employees some might argue that was a threat to democracy or at least a government overreach. Bush Jr.'s march into Iraq over nonexistent WMDs what was that? History has the final verdict. We can all come up with examples. Going back further Nixon had to resign. Checks and balances. Very hard for an American leader to become a dictator but somehow Trump is supposed to swoop into a second term with regal powers and act like Caligula.

RE "mass formation psychosis"
ReplyDeleteThe official framing of the mass formation (or mass psychosis) "phenomenon" is misleading and wrong in terms of what the whole true reality is. The false hope-addicted psychologists and their acolytes want you to believe this is "just some temporary occasional" madness by the masses when it is but a spike of a CHRONIC madness going on for aeons with "civilized" people: www.CovidTruthBeKnown.com (or https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html)
One of these mainstream psychologists who have been spreading this whitewashed reality, Dr. Desmet, also fails to see that the PLANNED Covid Psyop is a TOTALLY deliberate ploy because he doesn't think (after more than 1 year, 2 years, even 3 years, into this total PLANNED scam!) it's ALL intentionally sinister as he stated in a prior podcast (this makes him witting or unwitting controlled opposition).
In the May of 2022 podcast with James Corbett he stated that "some people tend to overestimate the degree of planning and intentions" (behind the COUNTLESS, VERIFIABLE, FULLY INTENTIONAL, FULLY PLANNED atrocities by the ruling tribe of psychopaths over the last century alone) and see all of it as being PLANNED which Desmet called "an extreme position" ... Sound logical thinking is "extreme" and therefore false and sick in his demented delusional view!
This all means Desmet is ALSO a member of the masses of lunatics, an ACTIVE CARD-CARRYING MEMBER of mass formation!

Sounds a lot like Harai's "Sapiens- A Brief History of Humankind" Roberts is an economist, Take it from a an explosive scientist, stick with the data, sell out and get blown to bits. Ya know?
DeleteFunny I woke up this morning with an analysis in my head of why Trump and Harris are practically in a dead heat and how the covid vaccine issue may be hurting BOTH candidates. NYT recently had a much discussed article about thousands of people feel they were injured by the covid vaccines and nobody is listening. Kamala Harris now has ads out how she is for the working class yet she was a member of Team Biden who tried to pass a vax mandate on companies with over 100 employees. Imagine making the difficult decision about taking an expedited vaccine without long-term safety data OR lose your job. That's pro-working class? On the flipside Trump spearheaded Operation Warp Speed and bragged on social media how he pressured the drug companies to hurry up on this. Now imagine you're a part of the significant minority who took the vax and now has issues would you vote for EITHER candidate?
ReplyDeleteCovid is just another corona virus, like some of the common cold, but sort of virulent once in awhile. Well, a lot. Crummy virus vs our immune system, politics aside. Carry on.
ReplyDeleteThe strangest virus with a fairly well-defined high-risk group. A majority of people get maybe a mild case whereas for others it's a death sentence. I remember when my Dad passed not from Covid but he was 98 and they had limited services back then and we were in the parking lot of the funeral home waiting for the drive to the cemetery and we were right next to the extra refrigerated morgue unit they had set up back then for the extra bodies mostly the elderly. We were all sitting there in the car and it was just surreal yet for the majority of people it was just a bad cold.
ReplyDeleteAlong with the infected, the epidemic was hard on both Trump and Biden and the economy. I'd say living to 90 is quite an accomplishment. Went to a Birthday open house yesterday for a guy that turned 80. His wife said he was quite depressed. The older you get, the more stuff hurts, Arthtitis, dropping things, forgetting, lots of people with Alzheimers. BUT, no more jury duty, colonoscopies or going to work. Back to economy, I see Mark Zuckerberg's corp went down 14% a couple days back, along with the rest of the market.
ReplyDeletePoor guy.
Some make the point the pandemic wasn't hard on the economy it was government actions during the pandemic (e.g. lockdowns) that was hard on the economy. The closing of so many Mom and Pop stores. The virus didn't do that.
ReplyDeleteGovernment parents. You will be vaccinated.
ReplyDeleteReal parents. You will not be vaccinated
Dunno, maybe it is all the drug commercials on TV- side effects may include myasthenia gravis, loss of vision, overwhelming tinnitus, insomnia, Twinkie allergy and fatal stroke. Err, I'll stick with my tennis elbow for now.
Government parents should be able to provide long-range safety data first. Just sayin'. Always someone sitting in the vax chair at CVS waiting to get their 10th or 12th covid booster. Old school - I like the time-tested and classic vaccines not the rushed ones.
ReplyDeleteStill staggering along, taking all the recommended vax.
DeleteDo Twinkies count?
My brother got all the recommended shots as well. Married to someone in health care so he's pussy-whipped. She tells him to get another colonoscopy he makes the appointment. He got the covid let's see twice now. The way he described it no reduced symptoms either. As a kind of observer I make notes in my head. Would be like getting the shingles vax and still getting shingles. Kind of an underwhelming product at best. At worst makes problems in a significant minority.
DeleteOMG! He's married to Nurse Nancy?
DeleteIf you don't trust vaccines, do you trust Wells Fargo?
Yup marry someone in health care. I like vaccines that actually work. My cats get better shots.
DeleteFriend of mine works down the City. Boss harassed him into getting the shots. He later developed a blood clot in his eye that required surgery. Still has to get a cataract removed as a result but hey at least he didn't get the covid. What's up with the rushed vaccine movement? They can't even cure tinnitus.
His eye doctor said the blood clot was caused by the covid vaccine. Hey would you de-license him?
DeleteHarris flipping Mormons? OMG

How do Donnie and Marie feel?
ReplyDeleteI see ISIS got caught trying to assassinate Taylor Swift. Yikes, she could have taken an ear shot. Should we just stay out of public?
ReplyDeleteOne of the perils of being over-exposed. To a terrorist she must be like a landmark.
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't have a Secret Service detail. Maybe some off season
ReplyDeleteKansas City Chiefs and the back-up drummer?
I'm sure she could afford some retired Secret Service. Maybe The Rock would be interested.
ReplyDeleteIs it me, or do crowds attract assassins? John Wilkes Booth in Lincoln's section, Christian mob that tore Hypatia to bits in old
ReplyDeleteAlexandria. Putin's guys are craftier, poke a dude with an umbrella handle coated with Cerium 210 and walk quietly away. BTW, I'm
foggy on current culture. Why is T. Swift so popular?
Dunno. I think Dua Lipa has catchier music. Most of the magazine rack when you check out at the supermarket is devoted to her.
ReplyDeleteIt's like why are some blogs massively popular and other bloggers struggle? I go over my stats quite a lot and they're respectable so I'm more in the middle I guess but not lighting the blogosphere on fire.
ReplyDeleteOnce in a while I watch on YouTube bloggers who have monetized their sites. If I see a video from some blogger who says he makes 5K a month and put a new deck on his house and he looks like he doesn't even know how to write I skip over that. Wondering what Shaw's traffic is like. Maybe she could rake something in.
Maybe you need more focus and a different take. Cats.
ReplyDeleteYour are right up there with Jackson Supernova and there are a lot of cat owners. Consider Joni Mitchell's lament
"I've looked at cats from both sides now
from up and down and still somehow
It's cat's illusions I recall
I really don't know cats at all"
Maybe a catchy name "A Family Feral Frolic of Fun'
or "The Feline Wilds of Yonkers". Go with your strength?
The politics blogs seem to be a rather small bunch of whatever ilk
that are established but not huge growers. AND there are bloggers who handle more than one blog.
We might disagree on the politics but my political threads are not low effort posts. How do you ignore Trump/Kamala?
ReplyDeleteOK so you don't like diffuse and eclectic.
ReplyDeleteIt is said people spend too much time online. Friend always on his tablet. Forums, sites, YT. Adopting personas developing alter-egos. I don't know what he's doing. Older brother: "Can you clean Mom's sidewalk of snow so she doesn't get a fine?"
A laser-like focus on fence lizards?
Yes, people spend too much time on line. Kids especially get hooked.
ReplyDeleteFor we elders with plenty of time (and little tech knowledge) it is interesting in terms of what people think and in turn makes us think.
I think.
The thing about blog politics is despite all the research, the fearsome arguments and the herculean effort, people don't change their minds.
ReplyDeleteIf anything, it hardens their stance, ya know?
Makes ya wonder what is the motivation?
ReplyDeleteMy guess, strong internal gut feelings that need release. An alternative to quaffing Christian Brothers straight from the bottle. But, as you know human psychology is not my area of strength. Maybe people cruise the blogs looking to reinforce their positions. Haven't figured out the position of AI yet. Probably one of those Asimov robot commandments - Thou Shall Not Vote?
ReplyDeleteMy thing is while I definitely have strong political positions I don't want to become TOO emotionally involved in the election. The bloggers who feel the strongest, those on the left and the right when they wake up the day after Election Day assuming they didn't stay up all night somebody's day is going to be ruined. I don't want to be that person.
ReplyDeleteOh, there probably will be riots and gnashing of teeth. Rest of us get on with life, ya know?
ReplyDeleteWe have no choice. I'll still enjoy my first cup of coffee in the morning.
ReplyDeleteUnless Sparky drinks it first.
ReplyDeleteWent in the bathroom with my cup of coffee and turned on the lights.
ReplyDeleteA pretty big moth flew around the light string across the cabinet - bounced off and flew onto my nose - then right into my cup of morning coffee. What's that moth doing in my coffee?
I always liked moths. Like a low-key butterfly. Used to hate centipedes until I found out they prey on roaches.
ReplyDeleteKind of a lower class butterfly.
