Trumps häufige Opferansprüche waren mehr als rhetorisches Flair. Eine neue Studie zeigt, dass diese Art von strategischem Opfer verwendet wird, um Vergeltungsmaßnahmen zu rechtfertigen und antidemokratische, zwingende und illiberale Governance und Richtlinien zu arbeiten

Always!
I understand Trump’s motives. I just don’t understand why his rhetoric is persuasive to so many people. This study’s results seem self evident.
He’s a vindictive man-baby. As clear as day.
Every accusation is an admission.
Every time the GOP complains about someone doing something to them, they’re planning on doing it themselves.
„Nobody has been treated as poorly as me.“
I am probably paraphrasing because he seems incapable of coherent speech, but that line has been repeated many times.
Everyone, all together now: Clinical Sociopathy
At this point I feel the upper levels of politics are completely intertwined with psychological manipulators *very well versed* in how to sway perception in extremely efficient and effective ways. The end goal appears to be a takeover of all of the United States’ systems of power.
If they appear stupid, the manipulation is working. Each of the steps we’ve seen since his inauguration (and before) is calculated. They may not control events, but they definitely have a flow chart on what to do regardless of the specifics of each event. If nothing happens to fit, they shotgun method it and grab whatever can work to keep the ball ever moving towards the final goal.
This is dictatorship done live. We are witness to it.
