wait, why is trump doing this? it is THE tech china is behind on and could have been used strategically to keep them down. isnt that what both republicans and democrats want?
sometimes trump gives me hope the empire is gonna die, but i wanted to understand wtf they are thinking.
Because Biden did it. That's it. It's a huge thing and it doesn't have Trump's name on it, therefore it's bad and needs to go away.
i struggle to believe that politicians, especially the sitting president on the biggest empire in the world, won't ruin their go at power simply because of that. i dont think their followers are putting out good analysis either.
Trump is a narcissist. Fascism is historically a direct result of narcissists getting into power.
I was married to a narcissist for 11 years. I could come up with any idea, but unless she thought of it first, she hated it. And then she'd have the exact same idea a week later and love it. I had to use that against her during our divorce to get the kids out of the house and into a proper routine somewhere safe (my parents' place a state away) while we worked out the details of the divorce. If I had pushed for it more and not let her think it was her idea, she would have vetoed it on the spot.
As my therapist says: if you understood them, you'd be just like them.
i don't think his personality traits are that relevant beyond how he rallies his supporters.
fascism tends to put narcissists and other specific types of people in power, but they are put there by capitalism (or: the powers that be) when they need such a leader. fascism is not an organic and normal thing to happen to people, and its definetly not exclusively trumps merit here.
looking back, historically, that happens whenever the US invades you to ~~pacify~~ bring democracy or when crisis that shakes the very core of the system looms.
