Trump saying he'll be a dictator only on day 1 is the strategy of normalizing it.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Pretty much.
Anyone with half a brain cell knows that he is a pathological liar. And even worse than being a pathological liar, he's a pathological "truth bender". At no point is he lying, and at no point is he ever telling the truth. This gives him a method to worm his way out of any verbal snafu he found himself in. He learned it by emulating his sociopathic father, and he taught his children the same trick.
Are you sure trump isn't also a sociopath? He doesn't care if his actions kill people, or hurt others, really unless it hurts him personally, he doesn't give a shit about anything else.
That sounds like textbook sociopath to me.
We could spend all day talking about Trump being a sociopath. I've only got so much time on this Earth.
Same, maybe we should do something else useful with our time. He spent 4 years living in my head, I don't want him taking up any more real-estate
He's definitely a narcissist, but I'm betting he also has an unattachment disorder (which is pretty common in serial killers)
The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginningless time, darkness thrives in the void, but always yields to purifying light.
In the era before the Avatar, we bent not the elements, but the truth within ourselves. To bend another's truth, your own spirit must be unbendable, or you will be corrupted and destroyed.
