Thanks for that list.

I saw all those behaviors manifest by Obama, and it is helpful having them listed so succinctly.

He was the quintessential malignant narcissist.

Thank you for referencing that article dangus. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

A part of the reason that diversion tactics are effective is this imo. Probably most low-information citizens have never been taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.

Otherwise, citizens would be able to argue the following simple points against unconstitutionally big federal government.

Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!

Remember in November ’18 !

Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.

Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.

In fact, if Justice Gorsuch turns out to be a liberal Trojan Horse then we will need 67 patriot senators to remove a House-impeached Gorsuch from office.

Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.

While I Googled the primary information above concerning Iowa and New Hampshire, FReeper iowamark brought to my attention that the February primaries for these states apply only to presidential election years. And after doing some more scratching, since primary dates for most states for 2018 elections probably haven’t been uploaded at this time (March 14, 2017), FReepers will need to find out primary dates from sources and / or websites in their own states.

Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.

Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed above.

“10. Destructive conditioning.”
AKA “Education policy”.

I can’t think of any of these techniques that isn’t a tool of “education”!

Check out Harmony-central.com. Go to forums and then go to Political party.

But it just struck me - I think you have to be a member there now for a while and have a small posting history on musical forums, then even as a member ask for “special privileges” to post on that section.

A very accurate summation of toxicity (and what passes for ‘Democrat’ these days)...

When I watched Dr Phil try and interview Rachel Dolezal she used many of these

He was trying to give her a way out. She played victim over and over again. I doidnt believe a word she said. Her claims of childhood trauma just don’t ring true. Her convenient selection of her race depending on her circumstance was just too much

44 and the prospective 45 (who lost)... comes to mind.

Psychologists and marriage counselors can manipulate and string clients along almost indefinitely. Throw in some mind altering scrips... BAM! Patients almost need intervention to escape. I’ve seen this on several times with friends and relatives.

Shifty lawyers? Beware brother Beware!

Exactly correct. Once asked a simple question to this exact type of person in a conference in front of a few hundred people. The response was about 5 minutes long, avoided the question, and used almost all these tactics. At the end of his response the person said, what was the question again. I repeated the original question again word for word.

Yeah but if we gave these people everything they want, exactly the way they want it, all the time, they would notneed to behave this way. Simple enough, really.
