Is it me, or does Trump seem to be loopier, lieier, boastier than usual. I mean just listening to him at his superspreader rallies and calling into news shows and reading his tweets leaves you scratching your ass and wondering where the stink went, right? Well, I think I got a piece of the puzzle, right here. Narcissistic wound.

In my continuing series on the psychology behind each of the major candidate’s campaigns, here is the Bernie Sanders edition.
Sanders is predominately affected by the dynamics around an authoritarian personality. That is how it affects his view of the world and how it affects his supporters.

This is an update of a post written shortly after the election in 2016. It is still applicable now, and it is pretty darn good. In short, ain’t nothing matter if we don’t get out the vote, bitches! All your memes, snarky social media posts, protests, phone calls none of it will matter if you don’t vote in November.
So let’s “as a people rise up” and speak with one voice and vote the Repubes out!
With so much at stake — literally the survival of our democracy — in the 2020 election, who will be the Dem candidate? Who will be the best candidate? How will the debates affect the race? I go over the criteria I’ll use to evaluate the first debate winner in the run up to live-blogging the live-streaming of the debates.
We are drowning in cynicism! Cynicism is toxic. It kills motivation. It turns people against each other. It stops conversation. It erodes trust. Cynicism is killing our democracy!
Who would believe the outlandish whale-sized whoppers the Ol’ Pussy Grabber is trying to peddle as alternative narratives to his collusion with Russia? Well, everyone. The explanation of why such god awful lies are effective in blunting public opinion.
Clinton’s book is about sexism and intimidating women. Tur’s book is about sexual assault. How many women have experienced sexual aggression? How many men have committed sexual aggression?
Bickering Dems to the left of us! Bickering progressives to the right of us! Bickering leftists all around us! So, let’s focus that bickering on the GOP and the 2018 elections instead, hunh?
The Great American Civics Lesson continues! If you didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton, you voted for the Ol’ Pussy Grabber because in a two-party system you are either voting for the loser or helping the winner win! It’s a binary choice.
The GOP & the White House are acting like they are a single party democracy. They oppress the vote, gerrymander districts, grift, graft, and klept. Neither are even attempting to govern.
While the Russians pull the strings in the WH and are spoon fed state secrets, nary a complaint from the GOP concerning being extremely careless with classified information. #hypocrite
Are you grieving the passing of the election? Clinton’s presidency? Your hopes & dreams for the future? Let’s apply the five stages of grief to the election, okay?

Let’s predict what a Trump presidency will be like. What will a unproductive narcissistic personality disorder do in the Oval Office?
The presidential debates are a microscopic fishbowl. What did we learn about Clinton from the debate? Autism, Personality, Family Dynamics, & Sadism
Oooh! Clinton is being unfair by quoting Trump’s lies! How untrue!
The first debate is in the bag… and what’s the most important thing that happened? We found out that Clinton’s and Trump’s hands are the same size.
We all know that skeptical look that will freeze you in your dissembling stammering heart.
The debate is here! How much will the debate change the election? The determinants of confidence will influence our interpretation of the performance of the candidates, but what are they? Find out here!
Clinton has fumbled the pneumonia thing. She’s been heavily criticized for not being transparent, but what if it is more ?fundamental? What if she really struggles with mindblindness
