The Psychology of Trumpism
b'
This time, host Spencer Critchley talks about the psychology of sedition, Trumpism as Freudian dream logic, and the apparent belief of Capitol rioters that they were in a movie.
Excerpt:
In dream logic, the Capitol riot was the start of a patriotic revolution led by Trump. And it was an anti-American plot led by Antifa and BLM.
Dream logic not only doesn\\u2019t have to make sense, it destroys sense \\u2014 and thereby destroys all constraints. If you want to live in a world of dream logic, the more flagrant the lie, the better. A lie isn\\u2019t a shield, it\\u2019s a weapon. When Trump makes everything a lie, he makes everything true.
