Just listened to the latest Conspirituality podcast on the inevitable Trump meltdown. While discussing it with a friend, he was speculating on psychology dynamics in the GOP.
I noted that the GOP isn't a political party in any form. It's a mix of cult and dysfunctional family. Trump has replicated his personal problems and business bullshit at scale.
@ReneeVoiceBrand it also gives us some idea of the needed recovery modes and dangers.
1) People will go to seek other culti/pathological family groups.
2) We need to treat people trying to escape as people escaping from an abusive cult/family.
3) The GOP will not fix itself if there's a meltdown. The Trump family is in charge, and they're inherently unhealthy.
4) Efforts still need to be made to rebuild social structures and trust, but we'll be doing it while having bad actors in society.
@StevenSavage True!
