Bullying – Page 11 – Inside The Mind of a Psychiatrist

There are numerous reasons why any reasonable Republican should fire a dysfunctional leader. Sex, lies, insensitivity, bigotry, using government resources to enhance his own pocket, supporting Putin and lies, lies, lies!

You’d only need one, maybe two of Trump’s actions to end a marriage. Here we have dozens of unbelievable actions and he is still married to Melania and the spineless Republicans.

So far no Republicans would ever be psychotherapy candidates because all are unwilling to examine themselves or accept that maybe improvement is needed. That’s one of the interesting paradoxes about psychotherapy. You have to be healthy enough to know you need therapy and be willing to change. Know-it-all’s and narcissists are terrible therapy candidates.

Anyway, back to the Republicans, the poor psychotherapy candidates. Get rid of this man who is creating chaos and could care less about you or any of us!

How? Grow up! Work with the Democrats. Be adults and be brave. Stop sniveling around like little weak babies. Yes, that’s not exactly how I’d put it in a therapy session. But, this isn’t therapy, it’s the life or death of our county.

The “Battered Wife Syndrome” is a term exemplifying how women are afraid to stand up to their bullying, battering husbands. It is another form of PTSD that is exemplified by the abuser having complete control over the “helpless” woman. Then, the remarkable happens. The pathetic, weak woman turns the tables and doesn’t allow herself to be abused anymore. Finally, the abuser is exposed as the pathetic, weak manipulator he always was.

Why do so many Republicans keep supporting Trump? They say they believe in his politics, his stance on Israel, his immigration policies, free market strategy, the great way the stock market is doing, how he speaks his mind etc. All may or may not be true, but one thing is absolutely very true. THE ONLY THING TRUMP CARES ABOUT IS TRUMP! HE IS THE LEAST PRESIDENTIAL MAN EVER TO HAVE HELD THIS OFFICE. When he is compared to Hitler, it resonates.

Like the battered wife, Republicans fear Trump will retaliate. He’ll take away your votes, your support, call you names, and devalue you. Like the battered wife, you believe you need him and have kowtowed to him. You let him lie to all of us. You let him devalue our allies. You even let him kiss Putin’s ring. Some independent thinkers call Trump’s behavior treasonous. What do you call a man who attacks his own country and supports a Russian leader who attacks our elections, poisons former Russian spies, and supports despots like Assad? Shouldn’t you call this man a treasonous man? Isn’t this man fully deserving of Impeachment?

Republicans are battered and traumatized. They have allowed lies to permeate the fabric of America. Now is the time to stand up and support our country. You don’t need a bully to support you. You need the courage to support your own values, AND lawfully protect us all from the man who is threatening our very existence.
