most people's political leanings are formed based on perception. mine are no different.benjs said:
I thought you were posting links to how Trump has narcissistic personality disorder? Why does a narcissist take power so that he can fall on a sword so someone else can have a turn? For someone who condemns post-truth opinion-forming, you sure partake in it a lot.vaggar99 said:what i've suspected all along.

i might have posted a link or two about the narcissism. But I think someone else was posting the bulk of them. anyhow, my view is that Trump is the type of narcissist that loves attention/fame etc. its a drug and if supplied in mass doses, this type of narcissist will lose all sense of rational thought. trump wants to do what he wants when he wants. being the US president affords little real privacy. i don't think he really expected so many people to not like him. again, he was drunk on the love of a large minority.

Even when teenage boys make up stories about girls, the story is consensual because most understand sexual assault is wrong. If a sixty year old is telling you he sexually assaults women, he is doing this because he's normalized the behavior because he's been doing it so long without consequences. In his head, he has made it okay to the point of thinking 'now I'm one of the guys who gets the ladies'.JC29856 said:The trump narcissism and repeated lying has me wondering if trump wasn't lying to Billy Bush to act cool so a younger influential social celebrity tv host would like him.
It's obvious he wants everyone to like him, it's obvious he bends the truth quite often, Billy was laughing then turned to discussion to the female chaperone awaiting their arrival.
Just a thought.0 -
But you clearly don't have a feel. Your analysis of how the election would play out was wrong. The same goes for 99% of the AMT. Being wrong though hasn't caused a single person to reevaluate. The echo chamber continues.rgambs said:

Of course 2FR gets to ask his questions. That is not being denied. I am simply stating that the premise is wrong. He asked "Is this what you wanted?" but the election wasn't about "what was wanted"* but instead about "what is necessary". A cancer patient does not "want" chemotherapy but takes it with all it's ugliness because it is "necessary" even if the chance of a cure is low.oftenreading said:

*One of the things you might call a want for a certain segment of the GOP electorate is the nomination of a conservative supreme court judge. This was the biggest beef of the #NeverTrump conservatives who didn't think Trump was trustworthy on that issue. Well with the nomination of Gorsuch he delivered in a big way.0 -

BS... once again... the results speak to the fact that, among a few items, many people thought Trump was going to make America great again because he said he would.
Let's not forget that part of making America great again was to target minority groups which bigots frothed at the mouth over.
A vote for change isn't electing a billionaire and thinking things will change. Yes... Clinton was a horrible candidate, but Trump was obviously worse and he's proving so every day."My brain's a good brain!"0 -
You are lumping me in with everyone else, understandable, but I wasn't at all confident that Clinton would win because I live in yokel territory. I also have reevaluated the progressive position and come to some serious conclusions, mostly surrounding the fact that the country is not as progressive as we thought it was and the more radical faction, which wouldn't accept a deeply flawed candidate, has seriously damaged the country by allowing a clown to become POTUS.BS44325 said:

Again incorrect. That was the Obama platform. That was hope and change. It failed. Middle and lower class voters flipped from blue to red not because Trump would improve their lives but because he will remove barriers to opportunity which prevent these voters from improving their own lives. They are not looking for a federal government issued handout. They see federal government and their agencies as the problem...not the solution. Fourth quarter growth under Obama was an anemic 1.6%...those kind of results were no longer acceptable.Merkin Baller said:

Not "obviously worse" and nothing has been proven. There is a psychological need on here to declare Trump a failure when nothing but job growth has even happened yet. You insisited he wouldn't be elected and he was. You insisted he would be a failure. You need him to be a failure. He must fail. Your psychological well-beings depend on it!Thirty Bills Unpaid said:
