Psychologist Analyzes Trump’s Election And The Progressive Left 

Sifting through the tumultuous aftermath of President Donald Trump’s election, a former clinical psychologist steeped in understanding cultural Marxism, shares his observations on how Democrats are working to distract and delegitimatize Trump.

According to Tim Daughtry, co-author of “Waking the Sleeping Giant,” our elections since 2010 demonstrate citizens want Washington to stop governing against the will of the people as it drives the nation towards liberal progressive socialism. The clear 2016 ballot box message, he says, was “change course, secure our borders, get rid of Obamacare, put in some free market reforms, get our economy going again” with this man, who has never held elective office.

Daughtry says America is clearly facing a crisis over the “consent of the governed” as citizens demand a responsive national government, just as the British turned from globalism of the European Union in their surprising Brexit vote last June. Trump’s inaugural address echoed this very theme as, to cheers, he promised to transfer power back to the citizen, from a small Washington elite.

“The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of the country. Their victories have not been your victories,” Trump said, echoing his defense of the “forgotten man and woman” who elected him.

 

If Washington’s swamp-like behavior continues, Daughtry predicts “conditioned helplessness,” apathy and the surrender of America being founded on the core principle of the “consent of the governed” as elections will demonstrate to have no consequences.

Daughtry reveals three political warfare tactics of the left being used in our culture and politics to distract and delegitimize President Trump – a “pig-pen strategy,” vilification campaigns and gaslighting.

The “pig-pen strategy,” from the old “Peanuts” cartoons, comes from the efforts to throw a cloud of innuendo, doubt and even the impression of corruption around Trump.

The rise of vilification campaigns, as taught by Saul Alinsky, is reducing our civility as Democrats try to destroy, not debate, those who disagree with them, Daughtry explains.

 

Gaslighting is on display as arguments like the “Russians hacked the election” or “Putin is controlling President Trump” attempt to manipulate public opinion. Reality dislocation techniques can erode Trump’s approval ratings so as to slow the bold Trump mandates.

Daughtry suggests Republicans go on the offense with Russia, citing an example from “Clinton Cash” where Russians gained enormous power over America’s uranium, threatening our national security interests through donations to the Clinton Foundation. If Republicans would just expand the Russian investigation, Americans could get to the bottom of Putin’s use of foreign money and insiders to influence policies, not just our elections.

Commenting on our culture and the sensitive “snowflakes” on American campuses, Daughtry says no violent revolution was needed to hurry along a socialist America. Instead, cultural Marxists have pursued a “long march through the institutions” that has America on the tipping point to socialism now.

“They have pushed through our cultural institutions. They have eroded individual liberty. They have separated the American people from the idea of our Constitution, and our founding ideas. They are so close to the socialist agenda right now” that Daughtry says he thinks that even if Ohio Gov. John Kasich or former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush had been elected, they too would be framed as “fascists” from the Democrat’s playbook.

Daughtry has only one suggestion after praising Trump for his early efforts to secure the borders, bring about regulatory reform, confront political correctness and submit a bold federal budget and reform plan. The president has the capital to confront the “deep state,” — the shadow government and permanent bureaucracy trying to sabotage his presidency with malicious leaks and slow-walking of proposals.

This former psychologist also thinks Trump got bad advice on supporting Obamacare-lite from Speaker Paul Ryan. Instead of fighting the House Freedom Caucus Republicans, which represents his allies and the “forgotten man” voters who want less government, the White House should have started bold with free market reforms, and then, worked left for adding votes. But he has faith that Trump will learn from his error.

At the end of this exclusive video interview for The Daily Caller News Foundation, Daughtry gives an encouraging pep talk to citizens who are demanding their government listen to them.

I'm glad to see more and more narrative identifying the rooted immoral cause of societal slavery... rather than the constant distractions of the individual issues.

The battle is psychological... educational... philosophical, by all accounts.

"Gaslighting"... another version of manipulation and forced indoctrination... kumbaya.  The rooted evil of collectivism.

However... it was a great movie!  "Gaslight", with Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer!

Hi Jax!  It's good to have a name for this kind of lying and manipulation.  There really is a war for our minds and the battles are many.  We have recently survived the most severe Gaslighting in our lifetimes.  And though it continues today, it is weak and laughable.  We Deplorables THRIVE in the gaslight's dim flicker!

The DC Gaslight District

 

I turn on the news and want to scream – another poll with Hillarious Clinton in the lead!  How?  She's all but dropped out of the race, and a new Clinton scandal breaks every half-hour.  So how is she winning?

It makes my head spin.  Hillarious disappears – her numbers go up.  She mishandles classified information and breaks the law – her numbers go up.  She's nailed for her Clinton Foundation pay-to-play scheme – her numbers go up.  I feel as though I've been blindfolded and spun in circles, confused, off-balance, questioning reality. 

Or is that the point?  The feelings I've just described, along with loss of joy, depression, and withdrawal, are characteristics of a victim of abuse – gaslighting, to be exact.  And that's exactly what our government and media have been doing to the American people.

Urban Dictionary defines gaslighting as "an increasing frequency of systematically withholding factual information from, and/or providing false information to, the victim – having the gradual effect of making them anxious, confused, and less able to trust their own memory and perception."

The term comes from the 1938 British play Gaslight, wherein a psychopathic killer (Gregory Anton) plots to drive his wife (Paula) insane.  Gregory dims the gaslights, and then, when Paula notices, tells her she's imagining it, or he rummages in the attic and then scoffs when Paula says she hears footsteps.  He hides objects, removes pictures from the wall, and plays other tricks to make Paula doubt her sanity. 

Hillarious's email scandal is a glaring example of this psychological warfare.  FBI director Comey tells us Hillarious violated security, broke the law, mishandled top-secret information, and flat-out lied about damn near everything.  He stood before the nation and ticked off guilty verdicts one after another. 

Then, poof!  It all just went away.  No indictment, no headlines, no outrage, nothing.  The media's message – what email?  What scandal?  The whole private server flap was effectively erased from history, and we're left asking what just happened. 

This "now you see it, now you don't" routine leaves us uncertain of what we saw or heard.  How can we be sure if others contradict us and there's no confirmation from the media that it ever happened?  We begin to doubt our perceptions, lose faith in what we think we know. 

The "providing false information to the victim" facet of gaslighting is just a fancy term for lying.  Obama and Hillarious set a new standard for prevarication in 2012 when they said a video inspired the Benghazi attack.  They lied to the dead Americans' families, to the American people, to the U.N. General Assembly, to anyone who would listen.  For two weeks they stuck to the lie, expanded the lie, sent the video maker to jail to reinforce the lie, and would not back down until emerging evidence finally toppled the lie. 

The unchallenged lies continue to come rapid-fire with no repudiation from the media.  We can keep our doctor and plan.  ISIS is J.V., on the run, not an existential threat to Americans.  Hillarious never sent or received classified information.  The $400 million (update: make that $1.7 billion) in foreign currency delivered to Iran wasn't ransom.  And the list goes on.  We're besieged by lies until we question everything and trust nothing.

But far more dangerous than lies are the media blackouts.  This is third-world stuff I never thought I'd see in this country.  Media blackouts are how dictators come to power, how tyrants defeat the people, and how despots keep control.

The national media has erected a wall of silence between Obama and Hillarious and the American people.  It's a complete blackout, where mainstream media refuses to report anything that might damage Obama or hurt Hillarious's chances of winning this election.  The press bias is so blatant, so widely recognized, that a foreigner, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, called them on it

Even more pernicious than the political blackout is the media void on the pending internet giveaway.  Oh, you didn't know we're handing off the internet?  Well, how could you?  Probably the biggest story of the century, and it's 100% buried.

Fact is, Obama's handing off our internet to foreign interests.  That's right: in less than three weeks, the United States will abdicate control of the internet.  Yet the only sound from the  press is crickets.  Oh, there's an occasional article acknowledging the ICAAN transfer but telling us not to worry – Russia, China, Mexico, or the U.N. would never censor the internet.  Again, journalistic malfeasance endangers democracy and our Constitution. 

The government and our media use gaslighting to destroy our moral compass, control elections, and silence opposition.  And now they're using it to steal the 2016 presidential election.  They've pulled out all the stops for this race because if they can grab this one, its game over. 

Thus, we see polls that show Hillarious in the lead despite her never-ending scandals.  Of course, we can't question these polls – only tin-foil hat, conspiracy nuts doubt the numbers.  Yet stories like this and this keep popping up.  And pollsters are outed with exposés like this one

But why would they manipulate polls?  Well, to demoralize Trump supporters, for one – to depress turnout.  But the bigger reason is to set up voter fraud.  Shhh!  How many times must they tell us?  There is no voter fraud.

The truth is there are many more stories of voter fraud than I can reference in this article, stories like this one.   Or backup plans, as you can see here.  And then there's good old-fashioned ballot box stuffing.  The story at the link details how Judge Newcomer wrote, "Substantial evidence was presented establishing massive absentee ballot fraud, deception, intimidation, harassment and forgery."  

So no, you're not imagining it.  Our government is indeed lying to us, straight up.  You've witnessed it firsthand time and again.  And yes, the once free press is interfering in our election by shielding Hillarious from scandals.  Those scandals are conspicuous by their absence in the media.  And yes, the polls are being manipulated.  And yes, there is widespread voter fraud.  Trust your perceptions; follow your instincts.  You're not wrong.

In the final act of Gaslight, a Scotland Yard detective, Brian Cameron, exposes Gregory's games, brings Paula back from the brink of madness, and arrests Gregory.  Our Detective Cameron is the alternative or new media.  Drudge, Breitbart, and others unmask our abusers, publish the facts, and bring us the uncensored truth.  How many will seek that truth and what we do with it remains to be seen.  Of course, whether this new media even exists after Obama hands off the internet also remains to be seen. 

In Gaslight's closing scene, Gregory reveals his motive to drive Paula insane: access to a hidden cache of priceless rubies.  As he's led away to prison, Gregory tells Paula of his monstrous obsession:

Between us all the time were those jewels, like a fire – a fire in my brain that separated us – those jewels which I wanted all my life. 

So it is with our government, only their elusive treasure is power.  Ultimate control, absolute power burns like a fire in their brain.  It's what they live for.  Like Paula, the American people are obstacles to that power, hurdles to be overcome, defeated, vanquished.  They will use every trick, employ every weapon to reach their goal of tyranny.  Will we succumb to the mind games, be beaten into subservience?  Will we ignore the truth?

We watch the gaslights dim and flicker, hear footsteps in the attic...

Thank you WHN! :twothumbs:

And to all you Kumbaya Kings and Kweens, who think we are overreacting and question our vigilance for clarity, and sanity, re-read Peggy Ryan's analogy a few times and let it sink in.  

If you won't or can't battle for your own rights and sanity... at least step aside and be reassured that there are others willing to do it for you, if at least by extension... as they secure their own, via imperative self-preservation...

As the Constitution defaults to the Individual... the Civil Society benefits from their daily accrued efforts.  Be thankful.

Exactly.  EXACTLY!!!  And why is it always our job to acquiesce?  To play nice?  To TOLERATE?!  I choose my battles but I won't be made to feel bad about defending the truth (smothering the gaslight)!  😘

Actually the Forefathers would have probably silenced the woman's voice while banishing her to the kitchen.........and the other one would have been sold into slavery.  Remember, it was the 18th Century after all.  Perhaps gaslighting does play a role in distorted historical facts.  :shrug:

Shabs, I know how much you like to be lied to (you sexy man of intrigue;)... but the truth is that you are also a victim of gaslighting.  We all are, and it would be nice if we could get your acknowledgement of it.  Wouldn't it be great to get all the facts... without the agenda-driven manipulation?  I think we can handle it!  You might even be tempted to jump down off that fence and stretch your legs a bit!  :eyebrows:
