The Scientific American - The ‘Shared Psychosis’ of Donald Trump and His Loyalists   11 Jan 2021

Forensic psychiatrist Bandy X. Lee explains the outgoing president’s pathological appeal and how to wean people from it.

And today's new words are “narcissistic symbiosis” and “shared psychosis.”

 

“Shared psychosis”- which is also called “folie à millions” [“madness for millions”] when occurring at the national level or “induced delusions” - refers to the infectiousness of severe symptoms that goes beyond ordinary group psychology. When a highly symptomatic individual is placed in an influential position, the person’s symptoms can spread through the population through emotional bonds, heightening existing pathologies and inducing delusions, paranoia and propensity for violence - even in previously healthy individuals.

 

The treatment is removal of exposure.

Problem with getting rid of Trump - as I see it - his words/rhetoric/bs have had an impact on so many people, I reckon there would easily be more than one person ready to step in to fill the void, even if he decided to shut his mouth tomorrow, there would be some other nutjob more than ready to replace him and carry on "the fight".

Coach Belichick (New England Patriots) turns down Presidential Medal of Freedom. Good on him. Trump must be feeling a little rejected by now, especially after his beloved golf tournament also told him to get stuffed.

The New York Times - House Sets Impeachment Vote to Charge Trump With Incitement

WASHINGTON - House Democrats introduced an article of impeachment against President Trump on Monday for his role in inflaming a mob that attacked the Capitol, scheduling a Wednesday vote to charge the president with “inciting violence against the government of the United States” if Vice President Mike Pence refused to strip him of power first.

 

Moving with exceptional speed, top House leaders began summoning lawmakers still stunned by the attack back to Washington, promising the protection of National Guard troops and Federal Air Marshal escorts after last week’s security failure. 

 

Their return set up a high-stakes 24-hour standoff between two branches of government.

 

As the impeachment drive proceeded, federal law enforcement authorities accelerated efforts to fortify the Capitol ahead of President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s inauguration on Jan. 20. 

 

The authorities announced plans to deploy up to 15,000 National Guard troops and set up a multilayered buffer zone with checkpoints around the building by Wednesday, just as lawmakers are to debate and vote on impeaching Mr. Trump.

 

Federal authorities also said they were bracing for a wave of armed protests in all 50 state capitals and Washington in the days leading up to the inauguration. ...
