Perhaps someday, Groupthink and mass hysteria will be called, Trump Disorder.

[fightforfreedom]

It's fair to say the Trump voters who stormed the capital were suffering from mass hysteria. A type of Groupthink where people have a common fear that often spirals into a panic. Groupthink discourages independent thinking, critical thinking. An example of mass hysteria is the original radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. Many people actually believed we were being invaded by Martians and they panicked.

The Trump voters were terrified over a lie that they believed would lead to their country being taken from them. In order to believe an obvious lie, a lie that can easily be proven to be a lie. You have to shut down all independent thinking. You blindly follow Groupthink.

What we have been witnessing from the top coup plotters is even more bizarre.

We have people who decided to become fake electors and they signed their names to fake elector forms. Some of them have been subpoenaed recently and some of them are running for high office, that's insane. I guess this is a type of groupthink, its really bizarre. They act like they can do anything they want without any fear of doing something illegal.

Then you have the coup plotters around Trump. I guess this was also a type of Groupthink. They came up with a plan to overthrow the government based on an obvious lie and as a group they rushed forward without any independent thinking. Some people around Trump did take a moment to use critical thinking and they got the hell out there. People like AG Barr.

People like Perter Navarro, are appearing on TV admitting they are guilty, like they believe nobody will notice that they are guilty.

Symptoms of Groupthink; Unquestioned beliefs, rationalizing, stereo typing, illusions, self censorship.

Mental health experts will be studying the Trump era for years.

I guess it all come down to how peoples brains are hardwired. Some peoples brains are hardwired to think independently. Other peoples brains are hardwired to blindly follow a group.

6. Let call it that now

We know they drink anything that spews from his mouth, so let's just call it trumpie disorder. That will really make him start talking about it since he doesn't understand what's being said. He'll think it a good thing

8. I think

It wouldn't be bad to explain somebody with strong values, well read and smart (like this group) Bidenists, opinions?
