...here's an AI Overview (with many references noted)...in order to move forward effectively as a nation, it's important to comprehend how otherwise normal citizens would support a Convicted Felon...Proven Rapist and Sexual Assaulter...Fraud...with an extreme Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder who cannot admit to any of his thousands of obvious lies (see 'Reflecting Pool')...as President.
----------------------
AI Overview

Support for Donald Trump is studied by psychologists as a mix of specific personality traits, social worldviews, and reactions to cultural shifts, rather than a medical pathology or mental illness. [1]

Core Psychological Traits
Researchers have identified several key behavioral and psychological patterns among strong supporters: [1] (https://baptistnews.com/article/trump-supporters-are-wired-differently-researchers-report/), [2] (https://jspp.psychopen.eu/index.php/jspp/article/view/4993/4993.html)

Right-Wing Authoritarianism: A personality style marked by strong obedience to authority figures and a preference for strict social order. [1] (https://jspp.psychopen.eu/index.php/jspp/article/view/4993/4993.html), [2] (https://baptistnews.com/article/trump-supporters-are-wired-differently-researchers-report/)

Social Dominance Orientation: The belief that society should be organized in a hierarchy, where dominant groups hold higher status than others. [1] (https://jspp.psychopen.eu/index.php/jspp/article/view/4993/4993.html), [2] (https://baptistnews.com/article/trump-supporters-are-wired-differently-researchers-report/)

Identity Fusion: A deep psychological merging of an individual's personal identity with a larger group, such as the MAGA movement, which inspires intense loyalty and defensive actions. [1] (https://theconversation.com/maga-explained-how-personality-and-context-shape-radical-movements-270191)

Cognitive Dissonance Management: A mental process where supporters reduce internal discomfort by rejecting or explaining away negative news or legal accusations regarding their leader. [1] (https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/1sih8m7/cognitive_dissonance_helps_explain_why_trump/)External and Environmental Triggers

Personality traits interact with real-world events and fears: [1] (https://jspp.psychopen.eu/index.php/jspp/article/view/4993/4993.html), [2] (https://theconversation.com/maga-explained-how-personality-and-context-shape-radical-movements-270191)

Perceived Societal Threats: Fear caused by rapid demographic changes, cultural diversification, or shifting national identities.Relative Deprivation: The feeling that one's personal group or economic class is falling behind expectations compared to other groups. [1] (https://jspp.psychopen.eu/index.php/jspp/article/view/4993/4993.html)

Insights detailed in Maga explained: how personality and context shape radical movements show how these internal traits combine with external anxieties.

Additional studies reviewed by Baptist News Global indicate that certain malevolent or low-empathy dispositions correlate strongly with unwavering political alignment.

    Or you could ask one of us, who will tell you your links are complete garbage

    Our borders were wide open under Biden('s handlers) and now orderly under Trump. Democrats are all-in on pretending people can change their sex and having biological males compete against females, trends that are at least for the moment on the wane.

    Convicted felon? True, but when you consider Democrat law professors Alan Derschowitz, Jonathan Turley and forgot-his-name Columbia law professor all point out it was legally an incorrect prosecution, that means something. Besides, Bill Clinton perjured himself under oath - a felony - and you guys said that's okay. He also certainly raped Juanita Broaddrick and you guys said that's okay, so spare me anything about Trump.

    As for your links:

    Strong obedience to authority figures: Trump is anti-authority, which is a large part of his appeal.

    Social dominance hierarchy: As long as Democrats aren't in charge, we're good.

    Cognitive dissonance management: Oh, you mean like Democrats did (and you still do) with Biden's obvious mental decline.

    Perceived societal threats: Nothing to do with race; everything to do with Democrats' desire for a true authoritarian state (oh, the irony of your first link).

    In short, the entire thing you posted is b.s.

      Not worth your time. Killing baby’s is ok with him, it was their fault.

      You forget that JB and Dem Senators reached bipartisan agreement on a

      TyroneIrish OP25817 posts

      Comprehensive Border Security and Immigration Act…among many other things…such as glossing over a Judge finding of Rape, plus DJT’s Hollywood Access tape illustrating his history of sexual assault…

      Then there’s his insistence on all authority resting with him…note no attempt at Congressional legislation for any issues facing the nation…including new immigration and border security laws.

      Biden? He did his job very well with bipartisan legislation for All Americans then ran out of gas at the debate…and Dems replaced him…long overdue for Trump.

      You need to wake up and join the legions of Independents and many Republicans…ditch Trump.

        Where to begin ...

        The border bill was a joke, okaying 5,000 illegal immigrants per day, among one. Anyway, Trump proved you don't need that bill; just enforce existing law.

        ABC paid a large amount using the word "rape," and that's not what was adjudicated. (Interesting you're okay with Clinton's rape of Juanita Broaddrick...E. Jean Carroll had less evidence than she did.)

        Finally, even his own staff later detailed how much mental decline Biden had during his entire term, not just at the debate where you laughably say he merely "ran out of gas." I think you know this and at this point you're too stubborn to admit it publicly.

          Sorry for the delay in responding...Golf...Dinner...recent posts...but now to your comments...

          >It's the responsibility of Congress to establish and fund enduring policies that are hopefully representative of the needs and desires that ALL Americans have. During his first term (2019), Trump called on Congress to 'Finally Do their Job' and fix our broken system of laws (see link). Then in 2024 the U.S. Senate did just that...provided 1,500 new CBP officers instead of the 750 that DJT called for in 2019, as one example...another is 100+ High Tech/High Speed Fentanyl Scanners for each of the tens of thousands of cars and trucks coming into the USA every day...btw, something that DJT still hasn't implemented. Note that it is 'Existing Law' thats needs re-writing...and he hasn't even tried to do that.

          All Trump has done is issue 'Executive Orders' that can be immediately superseded by the next President, without any input from the other party...NOT the way our government "Of the People" is supposed to work on such an important issue...especially when "Due Process" needs to ALWAYS be provided.

          >"Rape"...had Trump assaulted E. Jean Carroll the way he did, when he did, on Federal Property, or in any of most states in the Union (including Florida) he would be tried for and likely convicted of RAPE, since their statutes included penetration of a woman's vagina with any object (incl. fingers) as fulfilling the definition. You might also want to view the "Access Hollywood" tape to understand DJT's willingness to assault any woman he wanted...including underaged females (see "Epstein Files", where he's mentioned thousands of times over more than a decade as Epstein's BFF). Not the kind of guy you'd want oogling your wife, or daughter...right?

          Note that ABC "Caved" to Trump, since it is owned by Disney and the CEO of that Corp. had other business interests to protect and didn't want to 'upset' a guy who could make life uncomfortable in many ways.

          As for Biden...he has no criminal record or history of trying to assault any woman, or child...no Frauds...and his Tax Returns are there for anyone to scan. He performed his job very well...and competently...just watch the 2024 SOTU Speech....very easy to do, if you're willing to see the whole picture..or his speeches with Mitch McConnell celebrating the benefits of his bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. He clearly ran out of gas at the debate...the Presidency is very demanding and he would have done the right thing in turning over the nomination to another, younger candidate much earlier. But his legacy of getting us out from under COVID...physically, and economically (9% inflation down to ~3.5%...better than any other developed nation)...while passing several bipartisan Bills speaks volumes for his leadership.
