Psycho-pathology of Trump Supporters

[Mott the Hoople]

The lightning-fast ascent and political invincibility of Donald Trump has left many experts baffled and wondering, “How did we get here?” Any accurate and sufficient answer to that question must not only focus on Trump himself, but also on his uniquely loyal supporters. Given their extreme devotion and unwavering admiration for their highly unpredictable and often inflammatory leader, some have turned to the field of psychology for scientific explanations based on precise quantitative data and established theoretical frameworks.

Trump is totally predictable: making America great again/ draining the swamp.

I found the zip code correlation very interesting. My home town is lily white, and nearly all Trumpsters. Anecdotal, I know.

Turmp can change his mind mid sentence. He is the opposite of predictable.

Interesting. Let us now await the screams of "fake news" and "librul nonsense."

Turmp can change his mind mid sentence. He is the opposite of predictable.

If he changes his mind mid sentence, it is probably because some adviser got him off course and he makes the course correction back to: making America great again/ draining the swamp.

Yea...Trump's erratic behavior is always someone else's fault.

You are illustrating the accuracy of the OP here

From McCarthy on, working Americans have been brainwashed against questioning the system they live under, so when things go wrong they go for the best version of Hitler they can find, fat and stupid though it may be.

Changing one's mind mid sentence is not erratic, it is situational awareness. When you are compassed by enemies and as cool as he is that is mettle.

If Trump really wants to "drain the swamp", why did he blast the Justice Department for indicting congressmen Collins (R-N.Y.) and Hunter (R-Calif.) on charges of corruption and fraud? Btw, they were the first two congressmen to endorse his candidacy in 2016.

This article isn’t about Trump. It’s about his supporters.

Psycho babble.

If I was sufficiently motivated I could psychoanalize The Resistance and/or the lefties. For example, one of the reasons the left has been unhinged since the election is because they think they are entitled to be in power—as in, no one else is fit to run the country. Especially, the Deplorables lol.

The left more generally, has a nasty authoritarian streak: note how they will run to the courts when their agenda gets thwarted by the legislative process. Make that anti-democratic authoritarian.

The writer also misses the fact many voters in the Rust Belt were *rightfully*’dissatisfied with the economy under Obama.

Pretty much worthless analysis on the OP’s part. But it makes for good red meat for The Resistance.

That’s a bit to broad a stroke you’re painting with but their is some truth to that.

I wish they had addressed the Trumpanzee tendency to disregard facts in favor of their bias for their Glorious Orange Leader. If Trump declares one day that the sky is not blue, despite the evidence of their own eyes, I think that they'd go right along with that.

It's unethical and downright stupid to psychoanalyze an individual without actually interviewing them over a period of time then publishing your findings. So how does that make the psychoanalysis of a large percentage of Americans even remotely legitimate?
