Good morning ,
It's Thanksgiving in the US, an annual event which appears to be similar
to Australian Christmas celebrations in the sense of featuring excesses of food, drink and family feuds. To mark the occasion, my North American correspondent sent me this
article from the New York Times, "The Roots of Trump's Rage", which describes Trump as:
"a 77-year-old racist, misogynist bigot who has been found liable for rape, who incited a deadly, violent insurrection aimed at overturning a
democratic election, who has committed mass fraud for personal enrichment, who is facing 91 separate counts of felony criminal charges against him and who has overtly discussed his authoritarian strategies for governing if he returns to power."
And it goes on to analyse his overt and
intensifying psychopathy.
Having read the article, my question is: what about the psychology of those who would still vote for such a man?
And when they say they would still vote for such a man, ask them, "Now, can you understand how it happened that the German people voted for Hitler?"
