The #QAnon Conciousness Phenomena

Love him or hate him, Sam Harris calls it to perfection on Donald Trump:



Harris makes the case very strongly that we are essentially dealing with a childlike psychology inside an adult body and that he is largely incoherent much of the time.

At some level, possibly subconsciously, even his supporters know this which must be why we still see so much concentration on the previous administration from them, rather than any real scrutiny of this one.
 
People in different situation are affected by policy in different ways so it is natural that some people will prefer different policies. Politicians and journalists who are telling you to be afraid and to hate are doing it for their own self interest. Some people think an election is a popularity contest. Others think it is a way for the people to have a say in which policies the government implements.

I would agree that the criticisms from Sam Harris have less to do with policy, and more the psyche required to oversee and administer policy.

The criticism stands as it is independent of policy.
 
QAnon appears to be a Deep State Pied-Piper Operation

"Somebody’s benefiting from this, and it ain’t you. This administration is advancing longstanding neoconservative agendas with increasing aggression, perpetuating the Orwellian surveillance state of Bush and Obama, and actively pursuing the extradition and imprisonment of Julian Assange."

One of the biggest misconceptions about Trump supporters is that they see President Trump the same way his critics see him, and yet they like him anyway. The implication of that belief is that all Trump supporters are racists because they damn-well-know they support a leader who is one.

In my book Win Bigly, I describe how the public is watching two movies on one screen. In Movie 1, Trump is a monster with many flaws, racism being at the top of the list. In Movie 2, President Trump ran on a platform of being a Republican who disdains political correctness, and the predictable outcome of that is non-stop accusations of racism. As a public service, I compiled some of the plot differences in the two movies, roughly in the order they happened, so you can compare the two scripts. I won’t try to convince you to switch movies. I’m only making the point that Trump supporters literally don’t see what anti-Trumpers regard as obvious.

This article focuses on accusations of racism. There are a lot of other criticisms that could be discussed in the same way. We need more people explaining both sides thus helping people to understand the other side.

We need a social movement to reject politicians and "journalists" who foment hate and fear for their own gain.

People in different situation are affected by policy in different ways

Yep, like, say, the situation of being rich versus the situation of being poor:

Philip Alston, the UN special rapporteur who acts as a watchdog on extreme poverty around the world, has issued a withering critique of the state of America today. Trump is steering the country towards a “dramatic change of direction” that is rewarding the rich and punishing the poor by blocking access even to the most meager necessities.

“This is a systematic attack on America’s welfare program that is undermining the social safety net for those who can’t cope on their own. Once you start removing any sense of government commitment, you quickly move into cruelty,” Alston told the Guardian.

Millions of Americans already struggling to make ends meet faced “ruination”, he warned. “If food stamps and access to Medicaid are removed, and housing subsidies cut, then the effect on people living on the margins will be drastic.”

Asked to define “ruination”, Alston said: “Severe deprivation of food and almost no access to healthcare.”

[...]

As one of the world’s wealthiest societies, the US is what Alston calls a “land of stark contrasts”. It is home to one in four of the world’s 2,208 billionaires.

At the other end of the spectrum, 40 million Americans live in poverty. More than five million eke out an existence amid the kind of absolute deprivation normally associated with the developing world.

[...]

Against that backdrop, the UN rapporteur identifies a slew of what he calls “aggressively regressive” policies coming out of the Trump administration that are sending the country “full steam ahead” towards greater inequality.


Yep, people in different situations sure are affected by policy in different ways. But hey, we know Donald's situation. What's yours?

Yes, indeed. For example, we need people explaining that environmentalists are Nazis, and that political correctness is like substance addiction, turning you into a powerless victim. Those sort of explanations are of enormous help to the right in understanding the left.

Wait, I'm getting déjà vu. Hasn't somebody said this already somewhere nearby? Oh well, why should that bother me?

These were the people who elected Donald Trump as president - for a reason!

Those reading the report will note the executive summary and conclusions were not written by the same IG officials who wrote the body of the investigative findings. The investigation doesn’t match the summary. The media is using the summary for their narrative; however the content within the IG report is entirely devastating.​

And note this, which is prosecutable as bribery, because. . . it’s bribery: “FBI Employees Leaked To The Press Regularly. According to the IG report, “We identified numerous FBI employees, at all levels of the organization and with no official reason to be in contact with the media, who were nevertheless in frequent contact with reporters.” FBI agents received ‘benefits from reporters’ as well, including golf outings, drinks and meals.”​
