We have
heard continuous lies on TV, radio and various social media platforms regarding
the November 3 presidential election and the January 5 Georgia Senate election.
One side, with facts and 62 court decisions support that Joe Biden won fairly and squarely while the
other side complains about allegations of nonsense; contacting numerous Republican
state officials about overturning the vote; inciting riot on
the congress law makers on January 6 while not facilitating a peaceful
democratic transition of power; and a 2nd Impeachment. This
disquisition pertains to the underlying motivation of fear from a delusional
and sociopathic Trump and his insurrectionist Republican followers.
A very brief
voting history of our nation follows. Per our Constitution in 1789 we had voter
discrimination. In 1920 the 19th amendment was ratified when it
allowed citizens regardless of sex to vote. However, black skinned individuals
have continued to be discriminated against in various states with its
gerrymandering politics; voter eligibility practices; when, where and how to vote
policies despite the Emancipation Proclamation and the 24th
amendment which prohibited the use of poll taxes in 1965. Trump lost the
popular vote in 2016 and according to the polls for 2020 was predicted to lose
again. He could not run based on his record over the four last four years nor
could he run based on his character. Attacking Joe and Hunter Biden and Kamala
Harris didn’t work. However, he had nominated over 300 federal judges and
packed the Supreme Court. He had numerous sycophants at the state level in
positions of Gov., Atty. Gen., Secretary of State, state legislatures etc. as
well as in the House and Senate. His main option was to run on voter fraud and
if he didn’t win the Electoral College, he would call on his Republican
followers to steal the election. After all, sociopaths steal.
Anxiety
and/or fear are caused by external dangers as in nature, illness or social
relationships throughout a lifetime. These dangers are threats which results in
anxiety and/or fear. Of course, we begin life with the state of tension,
anxiety and/or fear. Differences in character are developed and account for
behavioral strategies in an attempt to rid and/or diminish the uncomfortable
and dreaded emotional experience of such. Of course while these dangers are
taking place sapiens have created many additionally severe dangers, conflicts
and stressors.
Additional
dangerous stressors for many of these racist, deplorable individuals include 1.
Covid-19 pandemic with its inconsistent public health messaging about social
distancing, wearing masks, washing hands and not traveling 2. The enormous
number of deaths from the pandemic and the incompetence of not getting the
vaccine into the arms of people quickly enough 3. The massive degree of unemployment
and economic hardship 6. The Democrats controlling the Presidency, House and
Senate 7. Merrick Garland the upcoming head of the Justice Department 8. Trump loss
of White House power 9. Trump being expelled from social media 10. Mike
Krzyzewski calling for prosecution.
For the past
four years, Trump’s followers have been given permission and encouragement
without consequences to act out in Charlottesville; Washington DC; Oregon and
Washington State during their demonstrations. They have had free reign on
social media spreading their lies and conspiracy nonsense and they have been
reinforced for their sick behavior by Trump. Imagine, a narcissistic sociopath being
filmed with feet on Nancy Pelosi’s desk, talking about revolution and not
expecting any federal crime consequences? These acting out individuals have
been out-of-control for too long. Let the consequences begin. Remember,
underneath the acting out aggression, terror and violence at the state capital and
other venues has been underlying fear and anxiety. These white followers are
scared out of their wits as they are losing the supportive power of their lying
leader.
Trump’s
delusional behavior, this past few months, is likened to a scared sociopathic boy
being unable to swim in the ocean. No one pushed him. He jumped in feet first. He
is flailing his arms and screaming and whining at the top of his lungs. His
acting Secretary of Defense and Homeland Security withholds security forces;
Giuliani, frequently goes to court; Bill Barr, Mike Pence, Amy Coney Barrett,
Brad Raffensperger; the Proud Boys, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Madison Cawthorn,
Ron Johnson, Mo Brooks, Scott Perry, Bob Good and other deplorable in the
Senate and House and others have been all unable to throw Trump a life vest and
rescue this drowning delusional sociopathic individual. Can he be saved or is
it too late? Not only that, there are impeachment, constitutional amendment 25
and numerous lawsuit sharks in the water ready to devour this sapient. How many
of the faithful followers are ready to jump in the water to be with him. Some
said they would die for him. They are finally going to get their chance.
In essence,
Trump, his Secretary of Defense, Homeland Security, House and Senate Republicans,
Giuliani, Trump Jr, Capital police,
rioters on the sixth and others yet identified all need to be held accountable and subject to
federal crimes. Algorithms are required from social media platforms to root out
the lies about the 2020 election and the call for attacks on various politicians.
One can’t call “fire,” if it’s not present in the theater. Take away, from
those individuals, the platform to mobilize hate, violence and insurrection on
social media. Our country is facing an existential threat from the Republicans.
We are in troubled waters.
