 Yes, isn't the technical term incite?

I couldn’t find the ironic/sardonic/sarcastic emoji. Trump will be responsible for any crap that goes down. The FBI has identified extreme right-wing groups as being the biggest domestic terrorism threat in the US and yet Trump has done everything he can to activate them.

I don't understand, it's all truth, he only speaks truth!

He's the least racist, most honest and straight talking person in America! I've heard this from many sources, the Mexican that carries his golf bag, the African waiter delivering his McDonald's order, the Sth American kid making the McDonald's order, the West Indian parking his car, and the Cuban gardener, they all confirm it, they love him so much they are all willing to work for a fraction of the legal wage!

I’m still p1ssed off that he didn’t take his own advice and inject himself with bleach.  At worst, he could have lost his orange tint.

Oh dear, I just watched a Republican Senator from Michigan state that they'll overturn the result on January 6th 2021 when govt reconvenes.  :o  :Smile

Fat chance!  The worst they could do is delay the process and engage in a series of unedifying debates that will cast further doubt on an already stressed democratic system.

It seems that Republicans are abandoning the POTUS and are lining to acknowledge Biden as the next president.  I suspect that, by 6 Jan 2021, the Republican Senator from Michigan will have fallen into line too.

From a peer reviewed article likening the POTUS’s fixation with grievances to addiction:

Quote: Firm steps are necessary to limit the damage Trump’s grievances are inflicting on this country. We all have a role to play in halting the cycle of grievance and retaliation. But in the end, he is a human being who needs help. It should be offered with the same care, compassion, and, yes, forgiveness, offered to anybody else whose life—or nation—is being torn apart by addiction.

Grievance and retaliation are symptoms of a greater mental health issue - narcissism/sociopathy in the case of Trump.

Sadly, these symptoms displayed by the orange bloke are not treatable like most addictions. Waste of time. Narcissists don't respond to therapy as there is a mechanism within them that prevents self-reflection and remorse.

I do feel sorry for Trump re his illness but far more for his victims. It's sad to see such a delusional character in full flight, but, again, much sadder to see the hurt and destruction that such a personality type wreaks.

Delusional, or desperate?

Social media has a lot to answer for, the algorithms that decide what we see basically amplify outrage, by concentrating content that creates an emotional response or connection.

To avoid that happening not only must you be aware of how those algorithms work, you have to deliberate curate what you read or click on to keep a diverse feed, otherwise you are just a bitch to the algorithm's flow! ( Yes I know it's a sexist way of putting it, but it is also so appropriate! )

I can't get a consistent read on Trump, for much of the time he's a dead set Clark Kent and just runs with the rubbish claims, then occasionally if not somewhat rarely he does something quite clever. But he always returns to the baseline, Clark Kent, which reminds me of Jack Elliott. You just know, sooner or later, they'll go in the direction that best benefits them-self even if it harms the majority!

Both... and more.

There is no way the orange bloke will accept the will of the people. The only 'will' that matters to him, is his own. He is the centre of the universe in his mind... that's the reality. Grandiosity and self-interest are other hallmarks of the narcissist/sociopath. Don't worry, he will never give up. He will continue to manipulate and subjugate the law in any way possible to get himself back in the presidential chair.
