I think they're approaching it from the wrong side.

People voted for Trump because the alternative was so unpalatable.  Hillary and Trump are both liars but when Trump lies, he winks while Hillary thinks she's fooling people.

Hillary and Trump are both arseholes but Trump owns it while Hillary tries to sell her self as being a moral person.

"6. The Power of Mortality Reminders and Perceived Existential Threat

A well-supported theory from social psychology, known as Terror Management Theory, explains why Trump’s fear mongering is doubly effective. The theory is based on the fact that humans have a unique awareness of their own mortality. The inevitably of one’s death creates existential terror and anxiety that is always residing below the surface. In order to manage this terror, humans adopt cultural worldviews — like religions, political ideologies, and national identities — that act as a buffer by instilling life with meaning and value.

Terror Management Theory predicts that when people are reminded of their own mortality, which happens with fear mongering, they will more strongly defend those who share their worldviews and national or ethnic identity, and act out more aggressively towards those who do not. Hundreds of studies have supported this hypothesis, and some have specifically shown that triggering thoughts of death tends to shift people towards the right.

Not only do death reminders increase nationalism, they may influence voting habits in favor of more conservative presidential candidates. And more disturbingly, in a study with American students, scientists found that making mortality salient increased support for extreme military interventions by American forces that could kill thousands of civilians overseas. Interestingly, the effect was present only in conservatives.

By constantly emphasizing existential threat, Trump may be creating a psychological condition that makes the brain respond positively rather than negatively to bigoted statements and divisive rhetoric."

That's interesting, Mother, but do you think the knuckleheads here are really scared?

Every time you point out the lack of terror attacks here they say, well yes, we're okay now, but...

They're more worried about the sight of the tinted races than they are of being killed. It's a form of virtue signalling. They need somebody to feel superior to. The ones who complain never actually know any.

Remember, the most Jew-hating Germans in the Nazi era were the ones who didn't know any Jews. I doubt people feared sinister Jews stealing Christian children or whatever. The propagated threat of the Jew was a way to drum up hate more than fear.

The haters are always the most insecure in their own sense of identity - particularly their class. They translate this into race, and do you know?

The biggest haters are nearly always immigrants themselves. Check them out on this site. Nearly all of them live in a different country to the one they grew up in.

They long for an idyllic past that was never really there. They yearn so hard to be respected, in the same way they believe the authority figures in their own childhoods were.

Post by aquascoot on Feb 21st, 2020 at 6:33am
It's not really about whether Hillary lies more than Trump lies

It's all about the person's energy and their ability to maintain a frame and control the frame

Hillary just has really wack energy

The most important part of that psychological analysis was that after watching Trump perform for an hour people were still engaged and their physiology reveals they are in a state of positive regard
Another words watching Trump perform makes people feel good
and people vote their psychology and their emotional state and their temperament


This was on display last night in the democratic debate
One would have thought that Bloomberg was a possible alternative to Trump
If one thought that one would have been thinking wrong

Bloomberg is not engaging
Bloomberg goes on the defence
Bloomberg elicits negative emotion in his audience

In fact the whole democratic debate it's just full of whack energy
It's not engaging
And watching it gives you a mild feeling of disgust

The whole pretext of this article is back-to-front
you don't need a psychological analysis of Trump supporters
you need a psychological analysis of trump's powers of persuasion
And those are at the Pinnacle
Those Powers are off the Richter scale
They are superhuman
Definitely worth studying for 5 years
Maybe mayor Bloomberg could do that

Why do you support someone like this, Moths?

About six months after her initial interviews in 1999, Broaddrick told the Drudge Report that mere weeks after the alleged assault, Hillary Clinton had tried to thank her for her silence on the matter at a political rally:

"[Hillary] came directly to me as soon as she hit the door. I had been there only a few minutes, I only wanted to make an appearance and leave. She caught me and took my hand and said 'I am so happy to meet you. I want you to know that we appreciate everything you do for Bill.' I started to turn away and she held onto my hand and reiterated her phrase -- looking less friendly and repeated her statement — 'Everything you do for Bill'. I said nothing. She wasn't letting me get away until she made her point. She talked low, the smile faded on the second thank you. I just released her hand from mine and left the gathering."

What do you call it? Hillary's done more apologising for her husband's escapades than any wife in history.

Trump's wives normally file for divorce. His mistresses just take a payout and sign the non-disclosure agreement.

And his supporters lap it all up while they condemn Hillary for her husband's infidelities.

As she tells the story, they spent only a few minutes chatting by the window -- Clinton pointed to an old jail he wanted to renovate if he became governor -- before he began kissing her. She resisted his advances, she said, but soon he pulled her back onto the bed and forcibly had sex with her. She said she did not scream because everything happened so quickly. Her upper lip was bruised and swollen after the encounter because, she said, he had grabbed onto it with his mouth.

"The last thing he said to me was, 'You better get some ice for that.' And he put on his sunglasses and walked out the door," she recalled.

  Hillary wasn't going to let Bill's indiscretions get in the way of her Presidential ambitions. Anything and everything was swept under the carpet.

Oh i think they're absolutely terrified. Terrified their male, white privilege is under threat.

Just last night, major culprit Grappler informed me that you can't give someone rights without taking them away from someone else. Yes, they really think like this.

I would go further as to say the more introspective among them may even fear the audit, not just the prospect of having to share a society with those they think inferior.

Hilary received over 3,000,000 more votes than Trump, so there goes that theory.


Why do you support someone like this, Moths?

About six months after her initial interviews in 1999, Broaddrick told the Drudge Report that mere weeks after the alleged assault, Hillary Clinton had tried to thank her for her silence on the matter at a political rally:

"[Hillary] came directly to me as soon as she hit the door. I had been there only a few minutes, I only wanted to make an appearance and leave. She caught me and took my hand and said 'I am so happy to meet you. I want you to know that we appreciate everything you do for Bill.' I started to turn away and she held onto my hand and reiterated her phrase -- looking less friendly and repeated her statement — 'Everything you do for Bill'. I said nothing. She wasn't letting me get away until she made her point. She talked low, the smile faded on the second thank you. I just released her hand from mine and left the gathering."

Why on earth would me stating that Hilary received 3,000,000 million more votes than \Trump, thus negating your comment that the public got what they wanted, translate into me supporting Hillary? I didn't make it up to pimp her .. it's just a simple fact.

More Americans wanted Clinton as POTUS than Trump, so you're just wrong.

Where have i ever stated any support for Hilary? Ever?


Irrelevant, who is POTUS?

Seems Hillary has dodged defending her rapist husband just as well as dodged the sniper bullets at Sarajevo 


Tell us again how Americans didn't vote for the "unpalatable alternative".

Not at all, it's standard State Department policy for IT upgrades and deleted classified emails. The FBI requested devices and computers going back 6 years. Of course the State Department didn't keep all those old phones and laptops. Of course the IT department disposed of them. That's the policy, dear.

Hillary never lied about it at all. If she did, she would have been charged with lying to the FBI - like Roger Stone, like Mike Flynn, like Paul Manafort, like Michael Cohen (who did a deal to get this charge dropped).

Now we know what you'll say. Oh, that's because Hillary's Deep State and the FBI have to be nice to her (by investigating her emails and even announcing this fact two weeks before a presidential erection). They're only mean to Mr Trump's staff. It's one rule for elites like Hillary and another for working class guys like Mr Trump, so unfair.

I mean, it's not as if Mr Trump has a Justice Department to protect his friends with or anything, now is it?

Essentially, the loyalty of Trump supporters may in part be explained by America’s addiction to entertainment and reality TV.

5. The Fear Factor: Conservatives Are More Sensitive to Threat

Science has  shown that the conservative brain has an exaggerated fear response when faced with stimuli that may be perceived as threatening.

A 2008 study in the journal Science found that conservatives have a stronger physiological reaction to startling noises and graphic images compared to liberals.

A brain-imaging study published in Current Biology revealed that those who lean right politically tend to have a larger amygdala — a structure that is electrically active during states of fear and anxiety.

And a 2014 fMRI study found that it is possible to predict whether someone is a liberal or conservative simply by looking at their brain activity while they view threatening or disgusting images, such as mutilated bodies.

Specifically, the brains of self-identified conservatives generated more activity overall in response to the disturbing images.

These brain responses are automatic and not influenced by logic or reason.

As long as Trump continues to portray Muslims and Hispanic immigrants as imminent threats, many conservative brains will involuntarily light up like light bulbs being controlled by a switch.

Fear keeps his followers energized and focused on safety. And when you think you’ve found your protector, you become less concerned with offensive and divisive remarks.

7. The Dunning-Kruger Effect: Humans Often Overestimate Their Political Expertise

Some who support Donald Trump are under-informed or misinformed about the issues at hand.

When Trump tells them that crime is skyrocketing in the United States, or that the economy is the worst it’s ever been, they simply take his word for it.

The Dunning-Kruger effect explains that the problem isn’t just that they are misinformed; it’s that they are completely unaware that they are misinformed, which creates a double burden.

Studies have shown that people who lack expertise in some area of knowledge often have a cognitive bias that prevents them from realizing that they lack expertise.

As psychologist David Dunning puts it in an op-ed for Politico, “The knowledge and intelligence that are required to be good at a task are often the same qualities needed to recognize that one is not good at that task — and if one lacks such knowledge and intelligence, one remains ignorant that one is not good at the task.

This includes political judgment.” These people cannot be reached because they mistakenly believe they are the ones who should be reaching others.

11. Trump Taps into the Nation’s Collective Narcissism

Collective narcissism is an unrealistic shared belief in the greatness of one’s national group.

It often occurs when a group who believes it represents the ‘true identity’ of a nation — the ‘ingroup,’ in this case White Americans — perceives itself as being disadvantaged compared to outgroups who are getting ahead of them ‘unrightfully.’ This psychological phenomenon is related to relative deprivation (#6).

A study published last year in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science found a direct link between national collective narcissism and support for Donald Trump.

This correlation was discovered by researchers at the University of Warsaw, who surveyed over 400 Americans with a series of questionnaires about political and social beliefs.

Where individual narcissism causes aggressiveness toward other individuals, collective narcissism involves negative attitudes and aggression toward ‘outsider’ groups (outgroups), who are perceived as threats.

Let's do one on Rich, shall we? Rich lied when he said:

A. Obama shipped $4 billion US dollars in shrinkwrapped pallets to Tehran as part of the nuclear weapons deal.

B. Hillary gave the order to have Gaddafi murdered by a mob of angry Libyan militia members.

C. Seth Rich simultaneously downloaded the contents of 19 email servers from around the globe onto a single thumb drive, as proven by the "download speeds".

D. Hillary ordered her staff to smash up her phones and computers with a hammer after she was served a subpoena by the FBI.

E. Hillary approved the sale of Uranium One when she was Secretary of State.

F. Obama never submitted his birth certificate to stand in the 2008 & 2012 presidential erections.

G. The Clintons use their Foundation as a personal slush fund, despite the use of independent directors, board members, annual audits, accreditation for US tax exemption status and a published rating of A- by charity rating agencies.

H. Mr Trump's been tougher on Russia than any other president ever, believe me.

I. Hunter Biden laundered Burisma money through a maze of shelf companies and bank accounts in Eastern Europe to end up in the coffers of his yet-to-be named criminal co-conspirators in the US, including Sleepy Joe.

J. Those papers Rudy's always waving around on Fox & Friends have writing on them.

K. All of the above.

nothing unpalatable about it. Voting is the price you pay for living in this great country. Make voting voluntary and you could end up in a sheat hole like the USA.

From Psychology Today -

"Suicide, stress, divorce -- psychologists and other mental health professionals may actually be more screwed up than the rest of us."

"The problem is that mental health professionals—particularly psychologists—do a poor job of monitoring their own mental health problems and those of their colleagues. In fact, the main responsibility for spotting an impaired therapist seems to fall on the patient, who presumably has his or her own problems to deal with. That's just nuts."

a hero of the democratic party who demanded the deportation of illegal migrants for undercutting union wages

Cesar Chavez (born César Estrada Chávez, locally ˈsesaɾ esˈtɾađa ˈtʃaβes]; March 31, 1927 – April 23, 1993) was an American labor leader, community organizer, and Latino American civil rights activist. Along with Dolores Huerta, he co-founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA), later renamed the United Farm Workers (UFW) union.

how would he go with the current leftie intellectual elite ?

Title: Re: Psychological Analysis of Trump's Support
Post by aquascoot on Feb 23rd, 2020 at 6:21pm
The UFW during Chavez's tenure was committed to restricting import of immigrant labor. On a few occasions, concerns that illegal immigrant labor would undermine UFW strike campaigns led to a number of controversial events, which the UFW describes as anti-strikebreaking events, but which have also been interpreted as being anti-immigrant. In 1969, Chavez and members of the UFW marched through the Imperial and Coachella Valleys to the border of Mexico to protest growers' use of illegal immigrants as strikebreakers. Joining him on the march were Reverend Ralph Abernathy and U.S. Senator Walter Mondale.[117] In its early years, the UFW and Chavez went so far as to report illegal immigrants who served as strikebreaking replacement workers

this union hero of the democratic party EVEN TRIED TO BUILD A WALL

the United Farm Workers set up a "wet line" along the United States-Mexico border to prevent Mexican immigrants from entering the United States illegally and potentially undermining the UFW's unionization efforts.[123] During one such event, in which Chavez was not involved, some UFW members, under the guidance of Chavez's cousin Manuel, physically attacked the strikebreakers after peaceful attempts to persuade them not to cross the border failed

They vote based on their temperament there  emotions
And their personal psychology

Go talk to a 17 year old and tell them to turn off the rap music and listen to Beethoven because logically he produces superior music
Argue tell ur blue in the face

Understand the game you're playing and then play that game
If you win then what you are presenting is basically the truth
Trump sits in the oval office
Trump has played the game of American politics
So by the definition of the game itself Trump is the truth

The truth is not contained in 100 pages of civil service data
The truth is contained in the results of the winner of the game that we have all decided to play
That game is called American politics
Trump has understood the game
And Trump is the truth

If you cannot accept that
You have a derangement syndrome
Trump has entered your brain like a virus
He is in your head and you can't get him out
Richard Dawkins talks about the idea of memes as some sort of mind virus
That's the Donald

People who vote for Trump use logic because it'll
be more employment and money in their pockets as simply as that.
Trump is simply superior.

A picture tells a thousand words


and all over world news right now


is the photo of the Indian PM bear-hugging Trump

a full body embrace

took Trump aback as you can tell

So that's the esteem in which Trump is regarded

a full body embrace, as in:  'Saviour, you've come to us.  Please never leave us.  We need you.  You are a god to us.  We revere you.  I, the PM reveres you and wish to spend the rest of my days in your arms '

Trump was touched and a little concerned, as you can see.  But he allowed the Indian PM to hug him because he understands that to the rest of the world, he, Trump, is regarded as a a big father figure, a saviour, as someone to be loved and respected


and now poor India is frantically building hasty walls to spare Trump the sight of its wrecked civilization and to hide its own shame -- because it respects Trump so greatly and believes his brilliant blue eyes should be spared the sight of itself

and that's just India

would be the same wherever Trump went

Giant of a man who inspires confidence in others through the air he expels

a once in a lifetime colossus and embodiment of white greatness


doesn't take any analysis


just one look at the India PM explains it all

Building wall
Not building wall, repairing fencing. Not an inch of new land has been purchased for a wall, despite the longest government shutdown in US history. Mr Trump's already abandoned the idea of a big beautiful wall in favour of "steel slats".

New economical agreement with China in US favour
No agreement with China and a worse deal for America since China introduced retaliatory tariffs. American companies and farmers have lost billions in trade, and in the foreseeable future. A deal is projected to be years away.

New economical agreement with Canada and Mexico in US favour
Minor NAFTA updates, but okay.

Recovering US economy
The US economy was recovering in 2015, when it beat the current growth rate.

More jobs for US workers and reducing unemployment
True - on a trajectory from 2015, when Mr Trump said the Department of Labour stats were FAKE. Now? Oh, now they're telling the truth.

catting taxis
The tax cuts were a long-term plan of Republicans in congress. Mr Trump just signed it.

No more new wars
Oh. Was that a promise? I thought he was promising to end the current ones.

Draining and defeating liberal swamp
And impeached for creating his own swamp - the only president in US history to bribe another country with military aid to investigate a rival politician's son. The only president to call for foreign countries to hack his political opponents. The only president to watch his lawyer jailed for an election felony ordered by him. The only presidential candidate to have multiple senior members of his team convicted for lying to the FBI and congress. The only president...
