Psychological Political Strategy 2024
Media fails, brainstorming and strategic planning - Part I
Apologies for the delay between posts. A lot of psychological writing, brainstorming and strategic planning has been going on behind the scenes. Please always remember that when you need or want more Counter-Narcissist Intelligence, the “archive” is much more than its name indicates.
CNI’s archive is different because unlike most other non-fiction current events, stories and profile collections, the field of narcissist psychology like narcissists themselves changes at a glacial pace. As the database grows, there will always be an increasing possibility that it already contains the information you seek, so no need to wait for the latest analysis. If there is a situation, subject or person you think would be a worthy addition to the CNI library, please leave your thoughts in the comment section.
Psychological Political Strategy 2024
Media fails, brainstorming and strategic planning.
With 2024 set to be an existential year and the think tank coming up on its one year milestone, I have been giving a lot of thought to the future of CNI and how it can be most useful and effective in tipping the scales towards life, liberty, positivity and democracy, and away from the pathological narcissists who are psychologically compelled to prey on and destroy humanity’s best virtues, from the global to the individual. Of course any constructive suggestions, big questions and support are always helpful and welcome on this epic quest.
As detailed in The MAGA Cabal Re-Enters Stealth Mode I and II, besides pathological lying, trump’s particular grandiose camouflage is to constantly shock us into numbness and to keep the corporate media counting their money as they enable and empower his shameless and thus toxic outrage machine. All that seems to matter to profit-prioritized media is he provides free and easy content to fill the 24 hour news cycle.
It is lazy, toxic and poison that could take down American democracy but at least the narcissists who run and own these outlets are making greater profits off democracy’s possible demise by normalizing malignant narcissism, sociopathy and psychopathy as regular human behavior, instead of exposing it as we work to do with CNI. Our most popular examples are the Dr. Bandy X. Lee approved foundational piece trumpism is narcissism, as is the piece that reveals the trump playbook is an illusion.
With the so-called “free press” far too often focused on profit over protection of our freedoms, nothing ever seems to get resolved by the MSM anymore. This cycle of numbness and nothingness gets citizens to tune out instead of fully understanding that our last best hope may be to unite and demand an end to this corrupt and psychologically disordered madness at the ballot box, at a bare minimum.
The MSM’s ineffective nothingness is why the world has become mostly numb to trump, his daily insane ramblings, and is why he leads Biden in some polls. Corporate media continues to prove day after day that most of the “information” and “news” they now provide is useless and serves no one. What good is information if it has no purpose, power and does not help to resolve anything?
Certainly, the pen is not mightier than the sword when the most self-serving billionaires are allowed to buy politicians, judges and most of the media who then saturate our news feeds with non-informational clickbait ink, making it harder for everyone to distinguish between antisocial spin and reality, and easier to deny that fundamental truth exists.
Speaking of mighty pens and fundamental truths, Orwell did not know he was also talking about malignant narcissists when referring to nazi propagandists in the quote below because Erich Fromm had not coined the term he applied to hitler’s “evil” yet. There is every indication he was also unwittingly writing about today’s Republican Party and trump’s malignant and deadly destruction of truth and reality. They have all been essentially telling everyone for years don’t believe your lying ears and eyes, and go with your gut that “2 + 2 = 5.” It is also no coincidence that the more predatory among them pocket the extra change from captured brains who fall for such cult-like mind-control illusions.
“Nazi theory indeed specifically denies that such a thing as "the truth" exists. ... The implied objective of this line of thought is a nightmare world in which the Leader, or some ruling clique, controls not only the future but the past. If the Leader says of such and such an event, "It never happened" – well, it never happened. If he says that two and two are five – well, two and two are five. This prospect frightens me much more than bombs.” - George Orwell
Certainly 2024 is a good year to regularly remind ourselves and those on the fence that 2 + 2 will always = 4, and to know that anyone who purposely has a different relationship with easily confirmable fundamental facts wants to take us to an Orwellian dystopian nightmare world. A world where malignant narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths like them can force anyone to believe and act on their self-serving fantasies, instead of them being forced to behave and conform to a world that values truth, justice and reality.
With today’s media being psychologically broken, it seems we are given the choice of self-gaslighting ourselves by jumping from trump insanity to insanity day after day without any resolution, or we can be logical and rational people who want to tune out the constant drumbeat of psychologically disordered ramblings that serve no purpose except as distractions, manipulations and trauma triggers. There needs to be costs for such toxic behaviors again.
Indeed narcissists overwhelming, repulsing, driving away and secretly trying to destroy those who do not fall under their self-serving spells are both unconscious and conscious tells of that kind of pathological behavior. Yes, these are the pigs who want to take you down in the mud with them. Ergo, if you know someone who is almost always a toxic nightmare to deal with, odds are high they are up on the darker end of the narcissism spectrum.
Given his once and possible future proximity to power, it should be obvious by now to anyone with a decent understanding of the psychology that trump like any malignant narcissist, should never be allowed near any job in “public service,” because they are psychologically incapable of ever serving the public above themselves. The fact that the media almost never reports on how trump is mentally incapable of “public service” and thus unfit for office seems purposeful. In fact, they should know by now that the only time a narcissist ever considers serving the public is to virtue signal.
For an example of how low a predatory narcissist can go, trump is famous for promising large donations during speeches to the most worthy charities like veterans, but then strangely never sends any money unless they embarrass him in the media for lying for an applause line, good PR and the charity’s love, until they realize they have been stiffed.
Once or twice, “It happens.” If it happens all the time, it’s sociopathic behavior. Remember, this is the guy who created a children’s cancer charity to use as his personal piggy bank and is now banned from having a charity in New York ever again. We must never forget that malignant and most other types of narcissists are ready, willing and psychologically driven to use, manipulate and/or destroy everyone else’s rights, lives and democracies to achieve the most wealth, dominant positions and feelings of power over others they can attain.
Perhaps one of the hardest aspects for the public to understand and the legal system to process is that for most pathological narcissists, essentially their entire life and everything they do is completely focused on trying to fill a hole inside themselves by feeding their psychologically disordered needs and cravings in every antisocial way they can get away with, no matter how skillful they are at putting on the mask of virtue signaling.
Always remember, Wall Street Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff tricked many smart people into trusting him with their money, because his charitable giving relayed the false signal that he was a man of virtue. In trump’s case, we must prepare for his attempt to take America down with him when his pathological pyramid scheme completely falls apart and he experiences full-blown narcissistic collapse.
The empirical psychology and history of malignant narcissists almost 100% guarantees he will blame everyone except himself for every one of his personal failures, just as hitler blamed the German people for his. Once he knew he had lost, he wanted the Germans to suffer more for failing him.
Certainly we should have little doubt that trump is a vengeful malignant narcissist who will blame the American people for him being a loser. The world has suffered enough under this psychologically damaged person. It is long past time when he should be suffering in prison as the bald, pale-faced, massively insecure and broke beta-male he is in reality.
Part II out soon.
✨Wonderful and thorough must read !!! ✨
What gives me some hope concerning the MSM is that it does self correct such as the recent shuffling of the CEO of CNN. After the new CEO ( Zucker) of CNN allowed a town hall w trump where they essentially let him hijack the narrative and tone of the Q&A, he was replaced (Thompson) and the further loss of anti-Trump journalists ( Don Lemon, Brian Stelter) was stopped. They can still do a better job of describing/showing/analyzing how crazy trump is but intellectually stunted. I have yet to see him give any kind of explanation, strategy or understanding of the complexities of governing. As his UPenn professors have stated, “stupidest guy in the class”.
