His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

It’s Cluster B. Alternative reality. Never to blame. They almost need enemies to work on to be themselves. Gaslight or verbally abuse those in disagreement lest your private reality break. No empathy. Chases power over scenarios.

We’re living inside the reality of a mental illness. And because it goes to the highest office, the fuckery is exponentially more.

This literally the “israeli” government. Yet we see the Democrats administration, willing to defend that. If the US government in principle is happy supporting a Nazi government; i feel that it reflects well having 2/3 of the population being happy with a Nazi government themselves.

Read the whole and thing and, wow. It's just unbelievable to me that people can support this man so fervently.

I guess it's what happens when you give people permission to be completely selfish and devoid of empathy. He's a fucking psychopath.

It’s what happens when you get your news in parts of the country where Fox and Sinclair own the airwaves. They make immigrants and democrats seem terrifying.

Not psychopathy. But narcissistic personality disorder. If you know anyone who has lived with one, they can tell you it’s on the verge of psychopathy.

It’s crazy behavior and crazy talk because it’s mental illness, probably somewhere around 60 years untreated mental illness. And hallmarks of NPD are maintaining a personal alternative reality, mentally tearing apart anyone disagreeing with that alternative reality, and no empathy.

I’m sick to death of no one talking about it and calling it what it is. We can talk about Biden’s dementia but not this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Its just standard brainwashing. It’s not even complicated. It’s all right out in the open.

Goddamn. And he's potentially president a second time.

Trump has already caused significant damage. If he wins, we can expect things to get really bad.

But even if he loses, look at what he's done. He truly believes personal gain is the only thing someone should ever value. There is no justice for someone like that, other than taking it all away. Forcing him to realize that humanity has only survived because we can work together for collective gain.

Hitler ended up firing most of his generals. Then he shot himself.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 hour ago

Hitler's best generals tried to kill him.

I read this entire article, and it made me sad. Because the guy's probably going to win. The people who need to read this article simply won't, and they will continue to believe what he tells them.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The people who need to read the article would, and then complain that it's all lies to denigrate Trump. It's a sick joke that I have family members who, "respect the military and those who serve", but continue to tout Trump as a Messianic figure to save America. The brainwashing/rot is real.

They're going to agree.

Don Trump's only got one ball

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 hours ago

Don't you think he looks tired?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 hour ago

This is what the GOP wants for our future.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 hour ago

But he's NOT a Nazi!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

A bunch of losers?

He's going to fire all the generals we have that are better than Hitler's because they've learned from 50 extra years of warfare. He'll be left with generals that are worse than Hitler's.
