I can't get over how good your breakdown of the President is PJ. I knew a girl in high school who had her hand nearly bitten off by a dog as a 5 year old. Now she has a thick scar all through the middle of her palm the exact width of her hand at the time. Other stuff goes around it, but the scarred tissue just sits there. That's basically our president's psyche.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard versions of this rant when I was running in Otherkin circles- although usually it was about Nephilim genetics rather than being so explicitly about race.

So earlier this year when I was super active on Twitter there was a goon who pm'd me a link to an academic study they had done on the cultural history of something awful. I have since (most regrettably) forgotten that goons name and also lost access to that Twitter account. If that goon is still lurking and can forgive my forgetfulness I was hoping they might be willing to share that link again? (I've gotten several requests from other Goons to read that study.) Anyone able to help a sister out here? Prester Jane has issued a correction as of 22:47 on Nov 14, 2019 |

Eventually the mask falls and they snap- they lash out at everything and everyone around them while they desperately yank whatever levers of power they still have access too. He'll scream about betrayal and try to incite his supporters into hurting those he feels have betrayed him- he made even give a "you'll the they day you crossed Donald J. TRUMP!" type speech. That said, he's old and unhealthy and his body / mind are clearly buckling under the stress, he may well just have an aneurysm and simply expire from rage.

Watching JRodefeld explicitly threaten another poster, unironic Internet Tough Guy style, in the D&D Libertarians thread was a sight to behold. For those who don't know, JRod is a famous dipshit who writes lenghty screeds full of words he doesn't quite understand to But at one point the thread apparently got to him and he decided to call a fellow poster a pencil-necked poindexter and threaten them with a beating for the crime of laughing at him on the internet, while ranting about his decades of martial arts training. He would go on to rescind this threat, with the explanation being that he doesn't hurt women. Accusations that he'd breached the NAP went unanswered, probably because he never ever admits fault for anything. JRod's mostly solo in his opinions in that thread, so there wasn't anyone for him to call out for betrayal, but it was wondrous to see this happen in microcosm. I'd suggest to you that we'll see some explicitly physical threats during a meltdown- like, actual challenges involving punching or beatings. Strongmen don't melt down without needing to prove that they're strong.

All I can think of as the mods drag him away is him screaming that we'll all rue the day and that his uncle works at Nintendo. Libertarianism is a weird animal because it's a group of people who can identify some nasty root causes in our culture, like violence being inherent in the system and that taxation is basically theft, but instead of combatting that, they pine for a system that is actually worse. Where if money is speech, people explicitly have less speech and are therefore less free and they're just fine with that. I remember listening about the Koch Brothers on Behind the Bastards and how in the 80's they ran on a platform that would allow you to enslave yourself and sell yourself. Not violent slavery, no no, just for the poors you see. Ice Phisherman has issued a correction as of 22:39 on Nov 21, 2019 |

Always said the main thing with libertarians is they don't realise that they're already living in their own personal utopia, but they aren't the one on top of it. It's one of those philosophies where mostly everyone still clinging to it is a ride-or-die lunatic idiot, since it became clear a while back that most libertarians are either embarassed Republicans, on their way to fascism (but I repeat myself) or on their way to socialism when they realise how many of their problems come down to the failures of liberalism.

They will perceive Trump's removal from power as The Enemy interfering with the will of the God-Force, to a degree that their minds will process as being apocalyptic, and they have been conditioned (for decades) to perceive such a traumatic* event as a trigger for what we now call stochastic terrorism. *traumatic because they have been so conditioned by propaganda that Trump's removal from power will be experienced (psychologically) as a profane/direct attack on their individual identity of a severity difficult to appreciate for people who haven't spent time living in that mindset. When The Enemy removes the God's Own chosen leader from power, the Trumpstaffel will no longer be able to envision a future for themselves- it will be an identity crisis being simultaneously experienced by tens of millions. They will work themselved themselves up into a blind rage and then lash out at any vulnerable group who happens to be within reach or in the news at the moment.

I wrote a thing on just this in the USPOL thread. It's long as poo poo and probably won't be well understood, but it's about the magical thinking required to believe that Trump is literally the chosen one in the vein of King David. Most people on these forums are not cultists and I had to take a good, long while to maybe explain enough to drop someone until a liminal state so they can begin to understand how big a deal this is. Understanding this on an intellectual level isn't enough. People live this. People breathe this. People will kill and die for this. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3899507&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1247#post500314667 I feel like I'm too early for people to really receive this this at all, much less entertain the idea. At some point these cultists are going to start murdering people in a way that will be a lot like the fascists. Their rhetoric will be different but the results will be the same.

The question of consequences is an open one. Trump's a coward and upon losing he'll be out of the White House at the first possible second, with his staff probably stripping the copper on the way out. His supporters are another question. If a centrist actually manages to win they'll probably try to appease Trump's supporters and fail horribly, leading to more violence, while a Sanders administration has every reason to actually crack down on them and make some public examples. (and while American cops are natural fascists, they're ultimately still thugs who will crack the heads they're told to, and most of the worst nazis are too loving dumb to realise the cops are their natural allies)

He is at core a blustering coward and for all his big talk always backs down when confronted directly. Additionally I think he genuinely believes he's untouchable and never has done anything wrong, and so he doesn't really believe he'll ever face any consequences for his actions.

Trump is born and raised to be a narcissist, and the main game as a narcissist is to rewrite your reality to the most convenient narrative at any time and force everyone to play along. It's not necessarily a great political tactic, but it's much better than nothing. (Which is what centrist Democrats have)E-Tank posted:As Innuendo studios said.

It doesn't help this narrative has been a bipartisan thing- one side tells them they deserve their problems and it's all their own fault for not being good enough, the other one gives them a scapegoat, both actively suppress the people trying to tell them why their lives are miserable and they have no prospects.

Slamhound posted:I think the problem with this view is the republicans themselves. They all love him, either him personally, or in the case of the McConnell/Grahm types; what he lets them do. I have no problem believing that the entirety of the republican party, top to bottom, would go all in on declaring that a Trump loss was rigged or unconstitutional or whatever. It's the direction they've been pushing for years. Oh absolutely. I have no doubts that the GOP will go right back to the hard obstructionism that they practiced during Obama and Clinton's presidencies and do their level best to stop any governance happening at all (all while loudly proclaiming that the subsequent gridlock proves the illegitimacy of Democratic presidents generally and this one in particular). Which is why the only hope anyone really has is a president who's mobilized a mass popular movement to continue agitating for progressive policies and willing to engage in direct action to see it made law, as the McConnell/Graham set are also fundamentally cowards who only get away with their obstruction because they've never experienced meaningful pushback. Gee, I wonder if there's anyone running as a Democrat right now who's been building such a movement for some time now?
