For example, just because people voted for Dems before that doesn't mean that they couldn't also be conned by a pathological liar who spoke to their fears. You are deluding yourself if you think that a bunch of democrat voters couldn't also be scumbags voting in their own interests(union support for example).
The issue is not that they were democrats before, it's the shitty candidate they voted for this time.
I actually think the ratio of shitty people who are liberal or conservative is about the same so you're argument that they must have been good people before because they were Democrats is a fail. That's the part that you and liberals share in common.
BTW, no one in this discussion mentioned anything about Nazis, racists or bigots. This is a discussion about Trumps extremely fragile ego and if it could be pathological (which it definitely seems to be) You've not even attempted to explain the current bout of really weird behavior discussed in this thread and instead decided to blindly defend "your side". You should really try and leave your biases behind and really look at Trump without the blinders on.
You shouldn't give him or any politician a free pass.
Quote:You read online or heard on TV somewhere that Trump has a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. You google educate yourself on NPD and now you're an expert ready to open up your own practice. As Capnawsome pointed out, according to the APA, an actual psychologist has to personally examine a patient before they can conclude a true diagnosis. Unless you're an "actual psychologist" who has "actually examined" Trump as your patient your google analysis is the "actual fail." I'm wondering if the google psychologists and online "medical experts" who say Trump has NPD personally examined him as a patient. Did you check into that?
When you turn on the television and see protestors holding up signs and calling Trump supporters racists, Nazis, homophobic, sexist,...etc., and we even have a few AF members who are notorious for doing just that in other threads, I just assumed that's where you were going when you said, "It appears to me that his supporters are overlooking a real problem because of their own hatreds that Trump speaks to..." (bolding, mine). Was my "analysis" of what you were saying incorrect? So that I'm not misunderstanding what you're saying could you be more specific about the hatreds you were referring to?
I was referring your stating that the only reason anyone is criticizing Trumps narcissism is because of hatred. Your wrong about that. It's his extremly narcissistic behavior that is the reason.
In case you didn't notice I was defending Trump supporters in another thread for being harassed by liberals.
When Trump said he could walk down the street and shoot someone and his followers wouldn't care... He was describing you! The truth here is that you are acting 100% partisan and I'm not so yes, you have blinders on and your attempt at hijacking this thread is the evidence.
Instead of discussing the issue at hand or even trying to refute it it, you're acting like a Trump surrogate and pivoting to another issue. Go hijack someone else's thread.
