Trump does not believe in the rule of law as set forth in the U.S. Constitution. The only thing he believes in is himself. This guy is a danger to our democracy! I find it hard to understand why his base still supports him. Do they want to live under a totalitarian government run by a ...
Freedompath replies on Jun 30, 2018:
As I said on one other thread...people bonded with trump as a entertainer and especially, with that...’you’re fired,’ part! People who work at jobs that give little joy, and that have not been able to develop something outside their work that gave their life meaning...bonded with that ‘tough guy’ approach! That is how a lot of these people found/find meaning after work, it is in their TV. They, do not see his true colors laid out in black and white..,by HIM! His other history is imbedded in their minds. You can see this in an abused family unit...even when a member gets help and can see things that are hurtful to THEM, they will keep going back and getting tangled up with the ‘sickness!’ It takes time and work to not be drawn backwards! It is familiar and not being familiar in our own life, is scary for all of us! I know lots of people who use their pass-time watching tv...and not the kind of programs that forces you to see the world in ‘real time!’ They will tell you...’I couldn’t watch’ so and so...because ugliness is not easy on the eyes nor the emotions! And ‘avoiding’ can become a way to live in this world...and it is never emotionally healthy! That is just my evaluation from people around me!

Sir...you can’t have it both ways? I am not here to change your mind...but, I do know that to have understanding of anything...you will have to change your mind...one way or the other! You keep bringing out your imaginary sign, in a discussion...’you are not going to change my mind,’ there is where the discussion has to end. Who among us wishes to conduct a discussion with a wall that already reads...’you are not going to change MY mind!’ I am moving on...you see no value right from the start and You so stated it...clearly! Several times!!! I get it, I want push myself on anyone! Especially, when they say...’I am not going to change my views!’ I have no energy to waste..,especially where it is not wanted!

My friend...You surely must know, that some of us, read and decode what people write here! We ALL, slip up and reveal our true nature...the one that WE hardly know...if we have not been digging into IT very deeply! That is how I believe you harbor hate...our sub-consciousness does not lie! It comes out in our/your own words! I judge what you mean by your own words, that come ‘out’ from you, (especially reveling are the words you forgot to monitor)! That is what everyone uses to determine what the other person is saying and even what is not said, but...is there between the lines!

@Dingodog (I am INFJ, tested the same for 40yrs). My neighbor was out my way on her early morning walk and more out of sorts than usual. We are new neighbors and I when I tried to console her, she revealed that she had to block her son from FB, because he is promoting trump! (I had to tell her, that I have a daughter doing the same). She went on to tell me that her grandfather left Germany to escape from Hitler and they were not Jewish! She would not be here today, had he not got the US! So this son, must know this about his g-grandfather and he is promoting trump! I think that we forget, that a lot of people watched his tv show, and loved the way he ‘acted!’ He entertained them, they bonded! So to some people he is that (unreal) person they were so armored with!

@MrLink there may not be a ‘cut and dried’ answer. With the many years that I spent With my mental ill family and after I was in treatment and I was exposed to a lot of other dysfunctional people...bringing peace and healing out of chaos is work and time! People must learn new coping and relating skills. And, narcissistic behavior is especially hard to treat and change! Sociology and psychology and even neuroscience cannot predict outcomes! They can shine some insight on the problems, but too much depends on the people with the problem...how much effort will they put forth to fix what is out of kilter! I myself have devoted years of study, aside from my treatment and the probability for success is most likely very low. History shows how long it takes to recover, when wars are over! I am just guessing on that out of my past experience! If I see something more specific, I will alert you!

I have always had a score in the 800s, now out of the blue, I must pay more than 160.00 a year, extra for car insurance...because my score dropped. The GOP are working with lobbyists is my guess...in order to get higher premiums.

Presidential-party facts over the past 53 years: In 25 years Democrats had 3 indictments, 1 prison sentence. Republicans in 28 years, 120 indictments, 89 convictions, and 34 prison sentences. These figures do not include the trump term. I really am not happy with the moral majority party.

Apparently, the ‘masses’ need this sort of urging to be motivated! I can only hope that only their base is being moved by their inhumane actions! The Democrats could surely counter in a similar fashion with ‘logic and reason’ on a regular wide spread basis?

@GipsyOfNewSpain I know where I belong, but, I am effected deeply when other people around me are being denigrated...even if it is on the tv! I am basically happy...but just not having much fun at the moment! I can be tripped up...because I had to learn how to survive out of total chaos in my early environment. I still carry that imprint, even as I have developed strong coping skills!

The wind blows the trash can down the road almost daily! These are 40-50-60 mile winds on a pretty regular basis. Roads and the freeway can be shut down, due to sandstorms! Sometimes, i can’t see the mountains 4 miles away! It has rained only a few (less than 4) short days since early spring! I am getting adapted and it is sure better than the regular rain storms back in Ga!

Freedompath replies on Jun 23, 2018:
@Earthling50 in truth that has not been my experience. What I did get over many years, was helpful therapist that guided me to find my lost self and that in turn helped me to put both physical and emotional distance between my toxic environment. My other source of support was from average friends that shared love with me. But, I do not have a recollection of a single person of wealth or stature, giving me a hand-up! Actually, it has been quite the contrary! Maybe, it was my personality...I was never a ‘yes man’ not a fraternizer. I am not motivated by money, but ethics and morals! But, I did make sure I could pay my own meager way, which was often a challenge!

@Sticks48 I was once friends with the daughter of Mr Wrigley's(chewing gum) ‘right hand man’ she called Mr Wrigley, uncle. When she learned where I came from, she told me that she had lived a charmed life, compared to mine! But, she had no clue, about how my life struggles had been and what it took to get to the point of being friends with her. I never heard her say...how she or ‘those’ rich people helped other people! It was animals, instead! She went beyond the call of duty to help animals.

Freedompath replies on Jun 23, 2018:
@Earthling50 I do serious emotional work...with people! I study and monitor my feelings and thinking against reality...which is hard work! Because you must strip yourself down past what is comfortable! And, I challenge all my fears! I eat lightly and only things I like, mostly fruits and vegetables, although I eat meat when I am in the mood! I do lots of physical things for excerise! Do I do these things like a religion...NO! That is just where I place my focus. Once after I was sent for physical therapy, after having difficulty walking and pain, I was advised to join a fitness center, which I did. I worked the weights and in about 6 months I noticed a obvious shift in my brain! I had a better over all feeling of ‘well-being’. So I do think being physical helps our brain...maybe more than most people think!
