How can people be so insane when it comes to Donald Trump? It's called "Mass Formation"

Mass formation-they show a cruelty toward people who do not buy into the narrative. Could this be why people not wearing masks were physically assaulted during the pandemic? It also explains why people have been assaulted and even killed for the simple act of wearing a MAGA hat. Being blinded to the riots, looting, killing, and arson committed across the country last year by BLM and Antifa, while calling for the harshest of punishment for the January 6 demonstrators is a perfect example of mass formation.

COVID jab deaths and injuries are simply unrecognized. People will get the vaccine, suffer massive injuries, and convince themselves how lucky they are because it could have been much worse if they hadn't received the shot.

An historic account of how our education system was founded to discourage individual initiative and achievement, shows that the Leipzig method (free pdf of The Leipzig Connection https://thebridgelifeinthemix.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/The-Leipzig-Connection-Systematic-Destruction-of-American-Education-1993.pdf ) of classroom education is responsible for collectivist thinking. In 1806 Napoleon beat the Prussians in the Battle of Jena. From 1808 to 1818 the philosopher Johann Ficte explained how it happened, that French soldiers were expected to break with the class system of rigid military officer corps hierarchy, and effect independent decision making out in the field away from HQ — Napoleon used the expression “every corporal with a Field Marshal’s baton in his rucksack”. That is why the French beat the Prussians. Fichte demanded of the Prussian King Wilhelm a spartan-like education system in which individual development, initiative and merit were discouraged. After testing students in groups of 200, 1 was placed at the top with 6 below him. The rest were made mediocrities, the system was copied world-wide from the 1880s through psychology-dept chairman training in Leipzig, starting with Pavlov’s teacher Wilhelm Wundt, who saw humans as stimulus-response, organic machines. With the result that today people are trained to be slave-drones of gigantic enterprises and mindless consumers. Social conformity is now enforced by school students themselves through social media. A good myth to symbolize the effect is found in the 1960s sci-fi Quatermass and the Pit, or 5 Million Years to Earth, in which the ancient bug people conducted a massive, murderous purge of their dissidents. However, in the case of Covid, there is blowback, unexpected consequences, that the very people who are supposed to be purged are those who won’t take the jab, while the conformists are being killed off.

I don’t think most people like to maintain all or most of their beliefs or values in a state where those beliefs and values are subject to re-evaluation. To state that differently, people would much rather be wrong or inapplicable (until it directly hurts them) but feel like they belong to a like-minded group. I think this happens on both a micro and a macro level. They really just don’t want to re-think, because, you know, thinking is hard.

Much of it is pure old green eyed jealousy.

Had a regular check-up with my family doctor yesterday. He truly is a good doctor, but he seems to be sold out on the vaccine issue. I am sure part of the reason he is insistent is because I am 65, Type II diabetic and a coronary bypass patient in 2017. I flat told him I would never submit to the mRNA shots because I do not trust them. I took the J&J, but no boosters of any kind. This was the 2nd time he recommended vaccine and boosters to me.

He saw I was resolute and began telling about the Novavax that should be available this fall and that it was based on older, proven technology. As it stands now, I will submit to that vaccine, but I will keep my eyes and ears open watching for negative information.

As the Madam said in #5, it is a psychosis.

The 'easily led/useful idiots' cannot tolerate the idea that they are in fact, cowards. No.

That is why they turn it around. They HAVE TO turn it around, as they cannot face the truth of what they are.

The obedient useful idiot sees his obedience as a virtue instead.

Giving additional impetus and justification for violence against 'the other'.

The 'other' is NOT virtuous and deserving of punishment.

Exactly. I was wondering why the word “psychosis” was omitted since that’s the biggest part of this: too people simply cannot distinguish the real from the unreal any longer.

I have close friends, who vote Republican, that think the 2020 election was fair and legitimate. They say Trump blew it. SMH 🙄

And the worst part is that the Trump-haters are convinced that we who support him are irredeemable cultists.

Actually, I think it comes down to envy. The root of all socialism and other “isms” that call for class conflict.

Envious of his money, his success, for women it’s his past playboy ways and deeper down they’re saying to themselves “Why has he chosen me?” - All envy!

For professional politicians and their establishment, his success in politics (Didn’t do it the proper way!) and successful governing puts to the lie that a professional politician brings anything to the table! It destabilizes their view of themselves, their straphangers and their whole world.

Again envy!

A lot of this was caused by facebook. One person put a rainbow flag on their page for June, then all their facebook friends follow suit. It’s like the cliques from high school but on a massive scale. Group think.

Let’s stick to the issues. Psychoanalysis can make us feel good but persuades nobody.

God has turned them over to their reprobate minds. Non-believers have been blinded. The Bible is quite clear about what happens to the unbeliever’s mind and that is the only explanation to what we are witnessing imho.

Good article on a complex subject... My dealings with progs and other varieties of socialists have led me to believe that the lack of mental maturity, not low intelligence, is the left's primary mental affliction. Their failure to reason effectively is the result of the failure to control the distractions of fantasy and emotion.

What is more glaring proof of faulty reasoning than an adult willing to work his/her donkey off so others can lie around on theirs.

That’s why I eat a high fiber diet, and drink plenty of water.

Mass formation is claiming that Liz Cheney’s ass-kicking last night was not the outworking of the democratic process, but a jack-booted assault on democracy itself due to the fact that the voters had impure motives and disagreed with the narrative espoused by Cheney and the deep state. “It was a danger to our democracy.”

They would never admit that the FBI panty raid had anything at all with the result. No, sir, and to claim that it did is bordering on extremism.

It also explains why people are insisting on allowing men in girl’s locker rooms and bathrooms, and why they violently attack anyone who uses the correct pronouns for a person.

It’s amazing, well not really!

They can’t see that Trump is just the visible part of the great dissatisfaction with the professional political establishment. There is no Trump worship or cult, if it exists only in miniscule numbers. (Some people seem to need to do that!) They see that enthusiasm for Trump and interpret it as a “Cult of Personality” because that’s how the left does and sees things politically. They build a cult around someone for political purposes. They view people as an unthinking herd, that needs to be herded by “the cult”! For example, the Kennedy Cult is still alive and well in many places, even here on FR.

Its dissatisfaction with the current practice of politics, NOT our Constitutional structure. Dissatisfaction with how its practiced, its slimy corrupt professionalism far removed as we see it from what the Founding Fathers intended. All of us realize that there is always “politics” of some form and it’s a product of human nature, but not this! This just exploits human nature!

The dissatisfaction would still be there even without Trump. Trump is useful because he’s effectively immune from the normal hazards of politics. Not being a professional politician, he doesn’t need the work. He can just say “Screw it!” and walk away anytime. So far, he hasn’t, which is good for us! If he did walk away the dissatisfaction and resentment of the professional political class would still be there. It would latch on the next Trump or grow and explode into something unfortunate and perhaps out of control.

The video doesn’t have sound for me so I googled the title, clicked on the Facebook page, and all I saw were some risque videos. Interesting for a page with “believers of Christ” in the title.
