Game of Thrones vs. American Democracy
Game of Thrones vs. American Democracy
Part II - They would see this country burn to be kings of the ashes.
In Game of Thrones vs. American Democracy Part I, we began to examine some CNI truths that were screaming to get out, such as the Founders never wanted any of this, they would recognize that their American experiment is in a Game of Thrones moment, and that we need to fight much harder to save it from the predators who will sacrifice us without a second thought, if we hand over the power to do so.
Indeed thanks to their knowledge of monarchic and oligarchic power politics games in the history of Mother England and all the other merry-go-round throne traumas in the history of Europe and the world (unlike apparently everyone voting for trump), the Founders would recognize a mad and demented, malignant narcissist wannabe king when they see one.
The binary choice
We are on the edge of a pit of chaos. Villains are close to having groomed, gaslit, hacked or hijacked the minds of enough free people to get them to bend the knee to their mad maga cabal of wannabe kings, so they can rule us.
Or “We the People” can maintain and reclaim more of our power by stepping back from a ledge of insanity and reestablish America as the free and enlightened country it was built to be by one of the greatest assemblies of clever minds in human history.
Whether we adjust for temporal drift or not and competing ideologies aside, there is certainly no way the Mount Rushmore of Founding Fathers such as Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton or Thomas Paine would ever want us to submit to a liar, con man, authoritarian or malignant narcissist in any “public service” job, and certainly not let one be the President of the democracy they intelligently designed to be, of, by and “for the people.”
While they did not have the psychological foundations of Freud or Fromm to be educated in the concepts of subconscious, projection, pathological liars, or malignant narcissists, empirical science dictates they likely had roughly the same percentage of these compulsively shameless and self-serving egomaniacs who would sell out America to help themselves, just as it is in every other society throughout history. Ergo, they had decent understanding of not being able to govern or even reason with malignant-types.
Just as empirical psychology reveals and CNI regularly emphasizes, now like then, malignant narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths give everyone they target a binary choice, submit or rebel.
We also know the Founders had a great deal of experience with traitors, spies and useful idiots, so now like then when enough data can be observed through a CNI-type prism, these kinds of narcissists eventually reveal who they really are and who they are self-servingly working for besides themselves, for those willing to see it.
Unfortunately as we see too often today, many narcissists are just clever enough to evade the scrutiny of the closed-minded, and many other types of people are incapable of thinking for themselves or in abstract terms, especially if their salary depends on them “not understanding it.”
If we had a functioning legal system, we would not be having an election where a foreign agent could win.
Orwell’s warnings
When George W. Bush loosened the rules for how many TV stations, radio stations and newspapers one person or corporation could own, at a last minute public meeting to debate the massive change in media ownership policy, I was blown away by a truth bomb dropped by a woman who said, “1984 was a warning, not a blueprint.”
20 years later, we are seeing the results of another horrible Bush policy our Founders would have hated considering the capture of legacy media has our nation being pushed to the brink of the oligarchic Big Brother dystopia many of us have been warning about for decades.
trump’s sociopathic spindoctor KellyAnne Goebbels coined the term “alternative facts” to justify swapping out the truth and reality for whatever self-serving lie trump is telling at the moment.
Maybe first time voter and new trump supporter Danica Patrick is right about lizard people being among us. Too bad she’s not self-aware enough to realize it is in fact narcissist trump and the maga Republicans who attract and hire every reptilian-type who applies for a job.
Game of Thrones vs. American democracy. Choose wisely!
The malignant narcissist, sociopath and psychopath version of America is not freedom and democracy. It is Game of Thrones. It is full on sadistic, predatory, pure power, domination, gaslighting troll mode that creates a cult of narcissism, and a fierce resistance to such authoritarian behaviors.
The main example of this dynamic from Game of Thrones is King Joffrey. He was a spoiled and entitled brat who won the “ovarian lottery” as the heir to the Iron Throne. His privilege certainly did not mix well with the dark, delusional and bad brain wiring he seemed to be born with.
Certainly “absolute power corrupts absolutely” but it becomes an existential threat to humanity whenever it is in the hands of a person with a narcissistic-type personality disorder, such as trump.
Joffrey is the nightmare scenario and teachable moment of what happens when a malignant narcissist is given king-like powers. The fact that the Republican Party is trying to put a Joffrey into power and a mini-Joffrey as his back-up should tell you all you need to know about how dark, depraved, disturbed, disordered and power-hungry these “lost cause” losers are, and that is how we should view what America is up against.
We stop them or they take away our freedoms and democracy and turn America into a dystopian hellscape led by people who are psychologically incapable of ever caring about anyone, ever.
The darkness of humanity has reared its ugly head once again. We stop them now or hope we can still have a small chance to stop them later. That is a big question because there is a strong chance most of humanity will not survive the empowered downward spiral of sadism and stupidity from the malignant narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths that trump will empower or will get psychologically manipulated by.
In continuing to contemplate the total illegitimacy of trump as a candidate, the Republicans as a anti-democratic party, a kleptocratic billionaire owned Supreme Court, a captured legacy media and global digital town square, all pretending to be participating in our democracy, and how they have all enabled a malignant narcissist to somehow be so close to being elected President of the United States, the thought that continues to scream louder day after day is, our Founding Fathers would never want any of this, and would want us to rebel against it all.
Therefore, we as Americans cannot accept any kind of Presidential defeat from these liars, con men and psychologically damaged people who are trying to pull off the biggest con in human history, because the alternative is likely the death of our freedoms and American democracy itself.
Essentially, every malignant narcissist, sociopath and psychopath in trump’s maga cabal would burn this country to the ground if they can be king of the ashes, so we must do everything in our power to stop and contain them no matter what, or as all of history shows, their unquenchable thirst for power and dominance will burn us all.
✨Great fan of GOT, your thorough, fascinating read reached the bottom of my mind. Thank you, Sam ! ✨
As I’ve mentioned previously, I’ve come up with a “course” that examines why we are headed towards self destruction as a species and I’ve come up with a concrete way in which we could try to save ourselves from ourselves.
What you’ve described in this substack posting is covered in “class” #3 of my course as to what we have to avoid.
