https://np.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/5s4r9r/socalled_judge_criticized_by_trump_is_known_as_a/ddcfc3o/

But Trump displays this behavior to a compulsive, uncontrollable degree.
He is unable to accept a criticism, any criticism, however valid or mild, of anyone on his "winner list."

He incontinently accepts and amplifies every criticism, however poorly founded or unsubstantiated, of anyone on his "loser" list.
He seeks revenge, domination and humiliation of those who defy him.

wp - A strange but accurate predictor of whether someone support
Donald Trump


"Psychologists use these questions to identify people who are disposed
to favor hierarchy, loyalty and strong leadership - those who picked the
second trait in each set - what experts call 'authoritarianism.' That many
of Trump's supporters share this trait helps explain the success of his
unconventional candidacy and suggests that his rivals will have a hard
time winning over his adherents."

Yahoo - Lessons from 'Fire and Fury':
In Trump's White House, flattery will get you everywhere


"And, indeed, Trump's susceptibility to flattery is one of the running themes
of Wolff's book, along with his ignorance, laziness and emotional volatility.
The people around Trump quickly learned that praising him was both a
requirement of their positions and a much preferable way to push a point
of view than logic or facts."

https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/9cm3wg/trump_has_normalized_racism_lying_scapegoating/e5bmje6/

But Donald Trump is not the problem. Donald Trump is a fat, spoiled rich baby. He's ambitious, and spiteful, but he's not intelligent. He isn't. The proof is overwhelming. He inherited a real estate business and made some money until nosediving it into the ground. He's sustained himself with various criminal enterprises and maneuvers that he's escaped prosecution for mostly because we do a fucking shit job of bringing justice to the wealthy.
And once you realize that Donald Trump is a really stupid human being, you have to ask - then why is he President?
And the answer is because for the last half a century, Republicans have built one of the largest and most extensive organized crime rings in existence. They have built a system that legitimizes preposterous levels of corruption.
They seized on the fact that the constitution grants disproportionate representation in congress and the executive to those who hold the most states, even if those states are mostly empty.
Mitch McConnell got less than eight hundred thousand votes in his 2014 election, and now he has a stranglehold over the Senate. That's fucking incredible.
For comparison, Chuck Schumer got over five MILLION votes, and he's the minority leader and almost entirely powerless.
Who the ever-loving fuck thinks that a party that never wins the popular vote, that has a terrible approval rating and has never represented a majority of Americans should hold literally all the ratchets of power?
So you have these petty criminals and crooks rising up in essentially third-world states, like Kentucky. They've banded together. Now they have a propaganda network. They get their funding from wealthy donors that want to pass laws to legalize their unethical business practices, almost always to the detriment of the American people. And thanks to Fox News, they have an easy-to-access non-stop propaganda stream that passes itself off as news and tells a fictional fairy tale about a Republican party that doesn't exist.
Take away all their bullshit. Take away all the window dressings, the family values. Look at what they do. Dick Cheney spent trillions of our tax dollars on a war to make him and his buddies rich. I say Dick, because Bush was mostly window dressing to draw attention away from him. Now Trump is running America like a business - which is to say, he's running it like an entity which exists entirely to make him wealthy and which he has full control and ownership over.
Look at the tax bill 1.5 trillion, written by lobbyists, to make the tax evasions and other fuckery of their corporations legal, to the detriment of America.
Everything they do is nakedly, openly criminal. But they've found the Thieve's Loophole - it isn't a crime if you ARE the law.
If you just look at them without the trappings - without the suits, without the pomp and prestige of their offices - they are bare-assed crooks. And I know people say that about politicians. And politicians get up to a lot of shit - in any country, in any party.
But Republicans are not just individually criminal. Republicans are a criminal organization. They behave identical to one. Their entire legislative approach is basically a protection racket. Corporations pay them, and in return they don't unleash the law on them, or regulatory agencies on them. Other countries play ball or they unleash their horrendously bloated military on them. Which Republicans always want to make bigger. Because what gangster doesn't want more guns?
Even liberals are, in a way, in denial about the extent to which the entire Republican party is an organized crime operation. In some way we believe their legitimacy, because, they're politicians, right? They do fundraisers and speak at colleges. George W. Bush slaps Obama's ass with a binder, so they can't be all bad, right?
But as we speak Republicans are refusing outright to put any money towards literally protecting our Democracy from the attacks of a hostile foreign nation. Republican Senators are standing up and saying we should reduce sanctions on Russia. They fucking stole 1.5 trillion dollars from all taxpayers to give it to the very, very select few who pay them. They are conspiring to insulate their own President, a man who may just be the most corrupt human being to have ever lived, from any form of justice, while simultaneously refusing to impose any of the checks and balances on him that are their constitutional responsibility to impose, all to keep voters happy so that they, personally, can keep their precious seats and can continue to personally profit from their stations.
Trump admitted on live TV he fired the FBI director to protect himself in a legal investigation into his complicity in helping a foreign government attack us.
Republicans did nothing.
Trump called the media - a cornerstone of our Democracy and the shining pillar of the first amendment - the "enemy of the people," because they report "fake news", a word which by Trump's own public admission means stories that paint him in a negative light, regardless of their accuracy or veracity.
Republicans did nothing.
Trump has refused to divest from his business and forced the federal government to pay millions of dollars staying at his properties in the most obvious and blatant corrupt uses of federal power I've ever seen.
Republicans paid.
When a child acts like a selfish brat, and the parents reward them for it, you don't blame the child.
This is who the Republican part is at it's core. Every piece of their apparatus - from congress to their SCOTUS picks to Fox News - is a part of it. They are criminals. They wear suits and robes, but at the end of the day they're just the most successful version of the mob. They are the mob that finally achieved legitimacy and became the law.

theatlantic - Trump's Soviet Approach to Intelligence

"For a good portion of the past 80 years, Soviet and Russian intelligence
collection and subversion efforts were superior to those of the U.S. In the
early years of the Cold War, the Soviets had infiltrated almost every critical
institution in the U.S. and Europe, while we didn't have a single agent in
Moscow. In the 1930s and '40s, they penetrated our most secret national
enterprise, the atomic program, so effectively that they could cross-check
the reporting of their various sources. The Soviets knew more about the
Manhattan Project than the vice president.

At the same time, however, they often failed to take advantage of their
superior position due to an inability to analyze, interpret, and above all
believe what they collected. The insular and untraveled Soviet leaders relied
on subterfuge, lies, and assassination to make it to the top, and could not
shed their conspiratorial delusions once they arrived. They used intelligence
to reinforce, not correct their misconceptions of the outside world. Although
they exploited stolen scientific information effectively - they developed an
atomic bomb - they often disregarded political realities."

ny - What Happens When a Bad-Tempered, Distractible Doofus Runs an Empire?

"'Today one thing and tomorrow the next and after a few days something
completely different.' Wilhelm's staff and ministers resorted to manipulation,
distraction, and flattery to manage him. 'In order to get him to accept an idea
you must act as if the idea were his,' the Kaiser's closest friend, Philipp zu
Eulenburg, advised his colleagues, adding, 'Don't forget the sugar.' (In 'Fire
and Fury,' Michael Wolff writes that to get Trump to take an action his White
House staff has to persuade him that 'he had thought of it himself.')"

Conservatives are Tribalism to an extreme. There is a very real reason the left have such a hard time with unity and the Right does not. The Left by and large focus on issues, and many of them are so hung up on different specific issues that they will attack each other as much as they attack the opposing Right.
The Right cares more about loyalty. This fact is why they are so willing to back "their team" even when presented with hard evidence that those individuals act in direct opposition to their supposed values.
You want to know why it doesn't make sense that they bitch about things like universal health care, but don't bitch about the trillions spent on pointless wars? Because it isn't made to make sense. You will never logic your way out of people who are climate change deniers, deficit apologists, border wall supporters etc. They are thinking on a tribal level, not a logical one.

https://old.reddit.com/r/TrueReddit/comments/f4cg3n/trumps_rhetoric_has_changed_the_way_hundreds_of/

Just last week we were discussing politics and the topic of presidential candidates came up. He started staring into the middle distance and taking about how "that fucking jew is going to take over the country" referring to Sanders. This guy's grandmother was Jewish! How do you reach someone that is that far gone? Other family no longer talk to him because he makes everything into a political argument and "the libs" fault, even though he can't define who exactly "the libs" are other than people who disagree with Trump. He never reads about political happenings beyond his alt right sources of choice and anything he hears contrary to that he calls fake news.
It's about to the point where I just accept that he's a lost cause and move on like the rest of the family has but it's rough seeing a person that I've known my entire life fall into that cesspit thinking.

y - Trump's Republican Party is defined by racism and those who tolerate it: GOP strategist

"It's clear his instinct is to make the 2020 election a cultural war, which in his
interpretation is just a socially acceptable term for a race war. Why? How does
this make any political sense?

The answer is that it doesn't but it is what Trump wants to do."

Trump is everything the right says it hates about the left

"He is an entitled coastal elitist, an easily triggered snowflake who plays the
victim card and constantly elevates feelings over thinking. Trump is a big
spending, Constitution-disregarding, dictator-coddling, traditional values-
disdaining, identity politics-embracing, cancel culture-advocating craver of
safe spaces."

NYT - The American Abyss

"Like historical fascist leaders, Trump has presented himself as the single
source of truth. His use of the term 'fake news' echoed the Nazi smear
Lugenpresse ('lying press'); like the Nazis, he referred to reporters as
'enemies of the people.' Like Adolf Hitler, he came to power at a moment
when the conventional press had taken a beating; the financial crisis of
2008 did to American newspapers what the Great Depression did to German
ones. The Nazis thought that they could use radio to replace the old pluralism
of the newspaper; Trump tried to do the same with Twitter."
