Elements of Mass Hysteria

[LowDown]

All the usual suspects are caught up in a big mass hysteria episode involving Trump. There's no point in discussing anything with them; they are crazy hallucinating.

Let's review:

• Trump is a clown who will lose the Republican primary.
• Trump is a clown who will lose the election.
• The Trump campaign transition White House is in chaos.
• Trump is a puppet to alt-right Svengali Steve Bannon.
• Trump is a Russian mole trying to subjugate the US to Putin.
• Trump is a Nazi.
• Trump is a racist.
• Trump is crazy and unfit for office.
  

If the above propositions look reasonable to you then you're probably caught up in the mass hysteria bubble. If it looks pretty crazy then you know what's it's like to be outside of the mass hysteria bubble looking in.

By the way, but sides do this. The "Obama is a Kenyan Muslim trying to destroy the US" meme is an example of a conservative hallucination.

Other examples: The Salem Witch Trials. The Satanic Day Care Center hysteria of the 1980s.

Gary Cohn, Trumps Adviser, Said to Have Drafted Resignation Letter After Charlottesville
Source: NY Times
By MAGGIE HABERMAN and KATE KELLYAUG. 25, 2017

A prominent Jewish member of President Trump’s administration said that the White House “can and must do better” in consistently condemning hate groups.

The sharp critique from Mr. Trump’s top economic adviser, Gary D. Cohn, came nearly two weeks after deadly violence in Charlottesville, Va., in response to a rally led by white nationalist groups. Mr. Cohn, who is Jewish, seriously considered resigning and even drafted a letter of resignation, according to two people familiar with the draft.

In his first public remarks on the national dialogue about the violence, Mr. Cohn said in an interview on Thursday with the Financial Times, that as a “patriotic American” he did not want to leave his job as the director of the national economic council. “But I also feel compelled to voice my distress over the events of the last two weeks,” Mr. Cohn said.

In the days after the Charlottesville rally, when Mr. Trump defended white nationalist protesters, Jewish members of the administration were mostly silent. Mr. Cohn is so far one of the few in the administration to publicly condemn the president’s remarks. Military leaders posted messages on social media denouncing neo-Nazis and racism, but did not specifically mention the commander in chief. Public deviation from the president by the military is unusual.

Can't blame anyone on the Left for criticism from within the Trump Inner Circle ...

I'm not sure how saying the Trump WH is in chaos is "hysteria" when he's had unprecedented turnover, it leaks like a sieve and the contents of those leaks are embarrassing as hell.

The leaking has largely been stopped. In the old days the fact that Bannon was leaving would never have lasted weeks with no one leaking it....THAT was impressive in this administration or any administration.

perfect description of trump people.

 

[Lord Tammerlain]

We have

Fake Media
Fake news

The border wall, that will be paid somehow by someone at sometime. (Depending on what Trump said the day before, which changed from the day before that which was the same as two days later, which was different than 3 days ago, which was different than the tweet in the morning, which was different than the tweet in the afternoon

We have people saying it is not what Trump says that is important, it is what he means. (of course if he does not mean what he says, how on earth do you know what he means. Does Trump and Trump supporters have some secret body language code?)

I don't think Trump is a Nazi. Not sure if he is crazy, he's clearly not fit for office.

He's an embarrassment. His WH is in chaos, his cabinet a revolving door of people resigning, being fired. He cannot keep off of twitter, he's a terrible diplomat, he's certainly lost America some prestige on the global front.
