'it will be okay' pollyanna corners of their minds. Relative to psychopaths, we people are pollyannaish.Then Trump will threaten again and again voters will say 'he doesn't mean it' which is delusional denial pollyanna making bad things look good. Then Trump will threaten again and again people will get paranoid of what Trump will do then retreat into pollyanna denial where there is less pain and you say to yourself 'well, it will not be us who are attacked'. Do you see a pattern here? Like when you get your car stuck in snow (Prime Minister Chretien of canada famously used this analogy) you rock the car back and forth till finally it gets over the barrier and drives forward out of where it was stuck. Back amd forth the car goes building up momentum over time overwhelms your morals and ethics. You are now accepting of the Trump campaign rhetoric and out of the pain of paranoia scenario because you are all about conspiracy/denial theories and cannot distinguish what is real but you need to hide under a 'leader' who has the power to protect you. Fascist rely on this lack of ability to distinguish truth to pick up followers. And the sudden lack of empathy in you. How to you stop this? Expect the fear bombs and baiting coming from the Trump in a periodic fashion. Accept them as bombs (sometimes true, sometimes not, but always painful). Don't go into denial. Believe him the first time that he is trying to cause pain and is a fascist who could carry bad things out. Belly breath. Don't go into denial. Let the pain of fear and not knowing for sure build a place in you where you park unknowns. Cry because it hurts. Then you know the patterns of the rollers. Then you win.
