Drug addled Musk has laid waste to large swaths of our government and no one stopped him. It truly is beyond belief.

BTW: Trump calling Biden "vicious".... that is a projection.

Much like fearless leader.... both are extreme narcissists and hate human beings yet crave their adulation. Scrambled-eggs thinking entertaining wild fantasies - and both use OPM, other people's money to line their pockets.

Excerpt: BILL MOYERS: It’s still hard for me to comprehend, for example, that the mentality of those German businessmen who advertised their bids for the crematoria in the concentration camps... Don’t tell me they didn’t know what they were going to be used for.

Things are not black and white. William L. Shirer's classic, Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, mentions American industrialists. My step-father was well-versed in WWII minutia and shared with me the names of these opportunists. Many leaned towards fascism. Oh, the irony.

And so.... they will demand their pound of flesh and this is where things can get dicey. MAGA reflects mob-mentality, cult mentality, and dangerous aberrant mentality. Trump might try to quell the MAGA mob with more extreme action. And that puts us all at risk.

Trump supporters were taken in by his rhetoric of the deep state, hooking his racist voters on hate and revenge. But there is the rub. He revealed the con, perhaps inadvertently, and how he saw MAGAs: "I don't care about you. I just need your vote." June 10, 2024.

The only thing which needs to be exposed is Trump and his cult of unstable extremists.

On target. I would like to read that report. So obvious to me what MAGA is and the entire charade of Trump. Have studied cults, Nazism, and related topics for decades. Wrote a book on narcissism. Psych major. Never made the leap to PhD though.

"Know yourself. The best defense against the insults and projections of the narcissist is a strong sense of self. When you know your own strengths and weaknesses, it’s easier to reject any unfair criticisms leveled against you."

It feels personal as narcissists will use the powerful control tactic of projection - projecting onto other their own flaws. It goes like this: They project - the target introjects. It can be very destabilizing to one's sense of self. This is why experts recommend not reacting. Disengaging is best.

Indeed. There is a great deal of cowardice and insecurity in cult mentality. I often refer new readers to my pinned post about collective narcissism which cults are rooted in.

Trump is violating the Constitution and international human rights laws, and basically behaving like a dictator.

Communist branding is an old tactic used by fascists. What a putz.

Excerpt: “The Trump’s administration’s threat to international scholars is a huge attack on thousands of UAW-represented workers on Harvard’s campus. We are seeing escalations against immigrant workers across the country and this is no different,” ~ United Auto Workers Region 9A, Brandon Mancilla.

I've made that drive a few times. Yes, start before dawn with a large cup of coffee. And pack plenty of water. I broke down once (Subaru throttle control valve failure - ugh). and drank up all my water pretty quick. Safe travels.
