"A Psychiatrist Explains What's At The Heart Of Trump's Appeal To The Core MAGA Base"...
...can't be a rational assessment of his Malignant Narcissism and Criminal Record...

Fair enough. But it's a failure to separate from mom that drives the Dems' dependency fixation.

Does your "Fair Enough" comment signify agreement with Dr. Razzaque's assessment of MAGAs?

He's not even a practicing clinician. He's an academic and an author pushing a book.
Psychiatrists are slightly above chiropractors and below podiatrists on the “DR” scale.
Easy, Lance...your anger and lack of introspection just amplifies Dr. Razzaque's assessment of Trump
supporters. Had you taken just a moment to check credible sources (see link) you wouldn't have made the mistake of saying he's not a practicing psychiatrist...and you might have realized that academics in all fields write books about what they know in those fields.
For normal persons, it's unreasonable for them to support proven Immoral, Unethical and Criminal leadership...and yet a significant core of Americans continue to do that with Donald Trump. Dr. Razzaque's analysis fits with what many people I know see as a common thread with MAGAs...Fear, Anger and Hatred toward others...it's who they are...it defines them...and having someone as President publicly voice those feelings "VALIDATES" their view of the world. Consequently, they'll never stop supporting him.
Sadly, this mentality is a departure from reality and borders on psychosis...which can't be cured...only managed to varying degrees...often through medication. (not my finding...it's from someone trained in psychology).

This is pathetic, even for you.

Talk about 'pathetic'...how do self proclaimed 'Uprighteous, Moral, Ethical' people support a proven
Criminal, Rapist, Fraud who sides with our worst enemy and tries to overthrow a presidential election?...if you've got a better explanation than Dr. Razzaque's, we'd love to hear it.
Yeah that's what we need, more opinions from psychiatrist's, who are left by nature.

There's some truth the political bent of psychiatrists vs. orthopods...strongly influenced by income
(based on a NYT survey back in 2016)...but that being said, most "normal" people would not stick, through thick and thin, to a proven Immoral, Unethical...and Criminal Political Leader who publicly violated standards they held dear (e.g. by Raping, Cheating, Lying, etc., etc.) while at the same time not accomplishing anything for the betterment of ALL Americans.
Dr. Razzaque's analysis of such Trump supporters yields a strong correlation with people who share common fears and hatreds of certain groups...like people who aren't "White, Straight or Christian"...and since those attitudes are so central to their personal identity, Trump's Presidential Megaphone against such people champions their innermost feelings, thus making it nearly impossible for them to discard him...it would be like denying their own personas. Makes perfect sense.
What do you think of what he had to say?

His view is in no way colored by his own political beliefs, clearly.
The video is utter hogwash. Donald Trump channels the emotions of his base. No shit Sherlock. That's all politicians.
A better question would be: why do they have the emotions that they do?
He didn't listen to it, he just commented on it. Anything he doesn't think he'd like is lefty.
And besides that, it's a description of who the MAGA extremists are. Cannot look in the mirror.
I get that …it’s hard to count the number of times Trump supporters refuse to read, watch or listen
to anything that might possibly challenge their beliefs…I.e. absolutely no Critical Thinking…a confident person would have no problem delving into it and engaging in a reasoned debate…about the only response you’ll get is “TDS”…appears to be the exit route of choice ;-)
I'll save everyone the time. This is vapid politically motivated BS that makes Ty feel less unworthy

The reality is that Trump supporters refuse to leave him in spite of all his violations of Moral,
Ethical and Legal norms...that's not "Normal" behavior...the question is WHY?...and Dr. Razzaque provides a credible rationale for it.
He’s flawed, but he’s not the one in favor of killing babies and calling boys girls.

"Flawed?"...try "Criminally Flawed"...DJT as a civilian could never get a security clearance, or
even vote in a national election in most states...especially Red ones. How on earth do you support such a despicable person?
As for the Abortion issue...I haven't heard your response to the fundamental question..."While a woman CAN produce a baby...MUST she do so under any and all circumstances, including forced or coerced pregnancy that she never wanted?"...and add "Should Government use its powers to force her to give birth under such circumstances.
Since you brought this up, let's discuss it FULLY...including the fact that the Catholic Church has NEVER taught that fetal Personhood begins at conception...and Pope Francis substantiated that position. I'll add in advance a corollary teaching of the RCC...i.e. "Just Wars" where, under certain circumstances, and with the aid of "Prudential Judgement", Killing of others who actually ARE Persons, is justified.
Then there's the issue of Gender Dysphoria, where ~ 0.6% of Americans identify as a gender different than the one assigned to them at birth. Given that genes and hormones play a huge role in anyone's Sexuality, it is entirely possible for someone with GD to think in terms of that opposite gender. They need help, love and acceptance...not derision and persecution...let's discuss that further, as well.
Bottom Line...Trump has NO REDEEMING Value that would warrant support for him as President...you need to change your vote.
