There’s only one way generally that works to stop fascist leaders. It isn’t by doing what this guy suggests.
Step 1. Convince his supporters that literally anything is wrong.
Solve that one first
Convince average Americans that literally anything is wrong.
FIFY
Lmao, the psychologist is telling us we can halt fascism by "setting boundaries", "having faith" and "saying no". Lmao. This article is like concentrated liberalism.
Buy a gun.
I'm disappointed it's not a guillotine.
The technique is a variation to emotion regulation - name the emotion then feel the emotion and let it pass through you. This allows you to process the grief in real time without it getting stuck. This absolutely works in a dysfunctional family because at the end you just go no contact with them and all is well… but this psychobabble doesn’t work when your government is the abuser because the only boundary you can set is to leave the country.
Leaving the US is one of the best decisions I've made in my life
I moved to the states in 2005, got married, had 2 daughters. Moved us all back to my home country in 2015. I often wondered if it was the right decision and what life would have been like if we'd stayed. I haven't wondered even once since November last year.
Unfortunately, being able to just leave the country is a luxury that few people have.
And that boundary isn’t a reality for most of us.
Anyone feeling backed in to a corner yet?
Right. I'm sure Americans will totally get off their asses to fix things now.
Does the armchair assassin have any tips or just idle shit talk?
Come now, I'm doing just as much work as the Americans.
I filled in some bubbles on a piece of paper, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Use a scope, not iron sights. If that kid had had a scope he might have hit his target.
Eventually sometimes we end up doing the right thing, like after trying a ton of other options we finally ended slavery by way of civil war. Or like in Armageddon when NASA couldn't get the astronauts to figure out a drilling rig we went and got Bruce Willis to get his ass to space and solve the problem via nuclear weapons.
He keeps saying the Ukraine war would never have happened under him. He really believes that. Because he's a narcissist.
Are you a psychologist who also specializes in ~~redacted~~?
Plumbing?
Sure. You know. Handling high-pressure blowouts and the occasional hammer job if things get complicated.
Youth in Asia?
A match-grade round travelling at 3,000 feet per second?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
