Hope. NONE of the orange baby man's clown show would be happening if he was disqualified day one after forensic psychiatrist Dr Bandy X Lee's report of the five dangerous mental pathologies of Donald Trump.

But then we get Vance who is even more dangerous than Trump

I wonder what a Fitness for Duty Evaluation for Vance would expose?

I agree that Vance is more dangerous. But he DOES completely lack the charisma that keeps people enthralled, ensorcelled with trump. And if the core doesn't support him, those folks the politicians are desperate to keep happy, will loyalty to Vance be their first consideration?

True, but 4 years of Vance being manipulated by the 2025 folks would be no joke. Vance won't have to worry about MAGA re-electing him - the damage will be done, maybe even no more elections (or, dare I say it? Rigged elections like Putin's)

How to Stop Authoritarians Before They Start

🔸️FITNESS FOR DUTY EVALUATIONS that are mandatory, like the military for high responsibility positions, would have stopped Trump before he got within a mile of the White House.

Bandy X Lee, Steven Hassan, and 100 other psychiatrists agree Trump has five dangerous mental pathologies as listed in the books "The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" and "The Psychology Of Trump Contagion - An Existential Threat to American Democracy and All Humankind".

"Containing Trump Contagion and Healing from Mental Pathology in Politics"

https://youtu.be/HTkCqU5LM-k?si=f6g0PolglC21w1nR

🔸️Fitness for Duty Evaluations start with everyone who interacts with the individual in question, and when red flags start to appear, 'say something.'

The US Military has procedures to follow that require individuals in question to have a Fitness for Duty Evaluation. Voters must demand the House and Senate do the same.

"Stephen Xenakis- Fitness for Duty Exams: Preventing Autocratic Abuse"

https://youtu.be/vdtChF07ryU?si=VJ5dauWFoUQg10uH

🔸️Outside the military are professionals like Dr. Bandy X. Lee who has several dozen colleagues all of whom are highly qualified to do Fitness for Duty Evaluations.

The U.S. House and Senate have several mechanisms to enforce their rules, including:

* Leadership

* Committees

* Floor Procedures

* Party Discipline

It's important to note that these mechanisms are not always used consistently or effectively. The more voters demand mentally fit leaders the more the House and Senate will comply.

🔸️I like what forensic psychologist Dr. Bandy X. Lee says that fascism and authoritarianism are just dangerous mental pathologies that worm their way into politics.

Everyone on Earth deserves and demands leadership that is mentally fit.

Fitness for Duty Evaluations performed by well respected psychiatrists ensures every country has leaders who do not serve their own power, but serve their own people.

With a pool of mentally fit candidates, we then have all the elections we wish.

My husband was born in Cuba and there when Castro came into power. They thought he was the leader that would give them a democracy. They also believed him when he said they should give up their guns because they would not need them under his leadership, so they did. He lied as Trump and his sycophants do. They want power over the people.

So tempted to get caught watching this video tomorrow when I step outside for a breath of fresh air and anyone comes out a minute or so later to chat with the black sheep of the family 😂

Oh wow. How do you do it? I guess I am lucky that my parents, who were once diehard Republicans and churchgoing Jesus fish people in the 90s, are now hardcore liberals. I’m not sure I could stomach a MAGA Thanksgiving. I’d probably take myself out for dinner and a dive bar after. You’re a better person than I!

I can't believe that Trump, with all his crimes he has been convicted for 34 counts. For his previous action s as President, is becoming President once again. How can our Laws or a lack thereof

Allow this monster back into office, know we are allowing Trump. BACK into office who has a Dictator agenda. It will destroy America and our Democracy and Constitution as we know it. America. Will not recover again. He must be STOP.

You've been attempting to educate people, who aren't fully cognizant of facts pertaining to much of anything. Your motives are always pure, but you can't lead people where they don't want to go.

No question about it, a dictator cannot have an 'armed' populace. The 1st Amendment will fall, but, the dictator will make sure the 2nd Amendment will fall. The rest of the Amendments will follow like a line of dominoes.

Democrats never wanted to take their guns away. I have a friend that thinks that. I told him all they want is better gun control. Background checks, red flag laws, etc.

Thank you. So they chose Trump only because he is a White man.

I applaud you for staying the line. I too am surrounded by MAGAts and they will never change my mind from knowing right from wrong. I have to stand up for what I know is right in my heart and that’s human rights, gender rights, animal rights, climate change rights, anything that is for the greater good of humanity.

Guns, pollution, habitat loss, being inhumane to anyone or animal, billionaires and corporations that don’t give a damn about us all in the name of greed, are wrong. It’s that simple and anyone who wants to argue that is also corrupted by dollar signs. It should be a crime to rationalize how to hurt our world, people and animals. Why doesn’t god intervene? I thinks he’s sitting there watching this shit show and anticipating what happens next on the worlds shittiest Soap Opera.
