I swear to God, if I hear one more talking head on TV dismiss Trump’s antics as “just politics,” I’m going to lose it. How can anyone, with half a brain, still think this is normal? The man is deranged—completely unhinged—and it's spreading like wildfire. This isn’t just another political grifter pulling strings behind the curtain. We’re talking about Trump contagion—a goddamn mental virus that’s infested half the country, and the legacy media is still treating it like some two-bit political game show. It's not just about policy differences anymore; it's mass psychosis.
Dr. Bandy Lee and a hundreds of brave psychiatrists have been waving red flags about this for years, but does anyone care? Nope. The media barely touches it. Fox News is too busy pumping out delusions, and even the so-called liberal media glosses over it, terrified of being labeled biased. Trump contagion is real, folks, and it's not just about some crazed tweets. His mental chaos is contagious—like a psychological Ebola—and it’s ravaging what’s left of the collective American mind.
Here’s how it works: Trump’s warped psychological traits—his narcissism, his paranoia, his total dehumanization of anyone who opposes him—aren’t just his personal issues. They’re like a virus that spreads to his followers, mutating their brains into the same festering pit of black-and-white thinking. Either you’re with Trump, or you’re an enemy of the state. It’s not politics; it’s a cult, and the scary part is, people are buying into it wholesale.
The Puppet Master at Work
Look at his followers—decent, rational human beings once upon a time. Now, they’re like extras in a George Orwell novel, parroting Trump’s anger, fear, and disdain for anyone who doesn’t kiss the ring. They’ve bought into the us-versus-them mentality. Trump tells them the media’s lying, that the Democrats are evil, that immigrants are here to destroy the country—and they eat it up. His emotional state becomes theirs. They internalize it. Suddenly, grandma’s at Thanksgiving, talking about how Nancy Pelosi is the devil incarnate, and your cousin is posting memes about civil war. How did we get here?
The Erosion of Critical Thinking: Facts Be Damned
It’s simple: Trump’s rhetoric creates a fact-free zone, and his followers are happy to live there. It’s post-truth on steroids. Forget logic, forget evidence—if Trump says it, it must be true. He’s managed to brainwash millions into believing that reality is what he says it is. Critical thinking? Gone. Replaced by emotional tribalism where the truth is whatever makes them feel good.
It’s no accident either—this is by design. Trump’s style isn’t just bombast for the sake of attention. It’s tactical. He’s bulldozed rational discourse into oblivion, and now his fans are defending his every word like it’s divine scripture. They don’t care if it’s nonsense. They don’t care if it’s criminal. Hell, they don’t care if it’s treasonous. They’re too deep in the psychosis to care. The media? They talk about it like it’s just another weird political strategy. This isn’t strategy; this is full-blown delusion, and no one’s screaming loud enough about it. (Please share this post.)
Aggressive Rhetoric: Turning Fear into Fists
Then there’s the violence. Oh, but don’t call it violence, because, apparently, patriots have the right to storm the Capitol and threaten lawmakers. Trump’s dehumanizing language isn’t just disgusting—it’s dangerous. He calls his opponents enemies and traitors, turning every disagreement into a holy war. It’s incitement, plain and simple. The result? A nation where armed militias are showing up at polling stations, and January 6th was just a practice run. Hitler did the same thing in the 30s, leading up to WWII.
Trump doesn’t even need to directly tell them to act out; they do it because they know he’ll praise them after. He’s like some twisted cult leader who doesn’t need to lift a finger to start a riot. Just drop the right hint and watch the flames. And here’s the kicker: he’s good at it. He knows how to push the buttons of his followers, to make them feel like they’re defending their tribe. It’s not politics anymore; it’s survival mode, and when people feel like their identity is under attack, they’ll do anything—including violence.
The Death of Individuality
At this point, his followers have sacrificed their independence on the altar of Trumpism. What’s terrifying is how loyal they are, even when he’s clearly screwing them over. Trump offers nothing but empty promises and lies, and yet they follow him like he’s the second coming of Christ. It’s cult-like, pure and simple. And guess what? The media’s too chickenshit to call it what it is.
It’s sickening to watch as Trump’s delusions become his followers' reality. It’s beyond politics—it’s mass psychological manipulation. But where’s the coverage? CNN will give you a soundbite. MSNBC will wring its hands, but no one is hammering home the real issue: Trump has infected the country with his madness, and we’re all watching it burn in real-time.
The Normalization of Extremism: Fringe No More
And here’s where it gets worse—because it always gets worse. Trump has mainstreamed extremism. The stuff that was once confined to the darkest corners of the internet is now out in the open. Proud Boys, Oath Keepers—they’re feeling empowered because Trump gave them the green light. He made it okay to be openly hateful, openly violent. And it’s not just them—it’s everyday people, your neighbors, your coworkers. They’re nodding along like this is just how things are now.
We used to think fringe groups were the problem, but now the fringe has become the mainstream, and Trump’s rhetoric is the gasoline fueling that fire.
The normalization of hate and violence as acceptable political discourse is one of his darkest legacies.
Yet the media, for all its pearl-clutching, won’t face this head-on. They’re too busy playing the ratings game to tackle the real story: Trump is unraveling the social fabric, and no one’s stopping him.
Where’s the Outrage?
So, here we are—on the edge of a cliff—and the press still wants to act like this is some political chess match. They’re complicit in the normalization of Trump’s madness. Dr. Lee and her colleagues have been shouting from the rooftops, but the media machine hums along, too afraid or too stupid to confront the elephant in the room. This isn’t politics. It’s not a strategy. It’s a mental health crisis on a national scale, and every day we let it slide, the deeper we sink.
Trump isn’t just dangerous; he’s contagious. And if we don’t start treating this like the existential threat it is, we’ll be too far gone to save ourselves.
Here’s the chilling reality: this contagion is not just spreading—it’s consuming the world like an unstoppable inferno. Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, Eroğan, Maduro, Orbán, Netanyahu—they’re not just players, they’re the architects of a looming nightmare, dragging this toxic wave to every corner of the globe. In the coming decade, the world as we know it may unravel. It’s happening now, right in front of us, and the stakes are beyond comprehension. We are staring down the barrel of an existential crisis: if this malignant force is allowed to fester, it will tear apart societies, devastate lives, and plunge us into chaos we can’t yet fathom. The warning signs are flashing, and if we don’t act, the catastrophe will be beyond repair.
Storms will pass, as will strong men. The force of calm reason and the will to right action are growing here and elsewhere around the planet. They will overcome by confronting and rejecting the forces of entropy and chaos. The excessive heat and aridity of the moment's inner and outer weather will soon yield to autumnal maturity, reflection, meditation and wisdom, and right will control might (I hope).
Oh, and one more thing (as Steve Jobs used to say):
To truly understand a person’s competence, you must study the lost art of the Trivium:
1)Grammar
2)Logic
3)Rhetoric
A person stands or falls on the skill of these points, just as musicians do in their skill of vocabulary and the external sonic manifestation thereof.
Kamala the Jailer has none of these skills.
Stay out of emotions and feelings and use this guidance.
Once you have this skill, re-introduce heart based knowledge but not before.
