Is this "mass formation psychosis"?

@suzianne said
The classic definition of psychosis is: A mental disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality.

Now honestly ask yourself this one question. Who, in this entire forum, exhibits the most obvious disconnection from reality?

You cannot escape that. It's you, man. It's you.

Projecting your own psychosis onto others now I see. Where is this dirt the Russians had on HRC? Prove it exists.

Why do people tolerate dictators? When dictators do bad things nobody mentions it again.

What a spectacularly stupid question.

Why do people tolerate evil men who have absolute power? Let me think.

Dictators do not have absolute power. Even the most totalitarian dictator is dependent on others for that power. People do not have to follow orders. They do so because they believe in the cause.

All that's important is that Donald thought it existed. That's why his campaign went into full suck-up mode on Putin.

Now are we gonna hear any more psychotic reality twisting from you? I'm guessing yes.

So you admit the investigation started from a false rumor. That is progress.
HRC did the same thing to Trump. Dig up dirt is a negative way of putting it. It is called opposition research. Everybody does it. It is not illegal.

Why do you perceive opposition research as something nefarious? Is it because you were fed a false narrative? You are the one twisting reality. Opposition research is normal. Calling it digging up dirt does not change that.

Power is not magic. You need followers to have power. Willing followers.
All dictators are dependent on other people for their power. There is really no such thing as total power over a country. A dictator must form alliances as well. That is even more dependence on other people.

Don't take some things too literally. Nobody has total power.

"and 60 different courts all dismissing any election fraud"

That is not true. Most were dismissed on standing and therefor considered no evidence. The Russiagate investigation was started from a false rumor. Is that an example of "mass formation psychosis"?

The answer is yes, but both sides believe in their election stealing conspiracy theories. Don't you agree?

The dems never accused the republicans of stealing the election they accused them of colluding with a foreign power to aid them in the election campaign which is apparently illegal.
You and Trump on the other hand told and still tell bare faced lies about the result of an election in order to usurp the will of the people.
Stop telling lies and stop being stupid.

You do know my comment was sarcasm, don’t you?

Yes the dictator is the head of a cabal who in turn tend to head the military, the police and of course major capitalist concerns.
Putin fits this model very well as an ex KGB operative and his arrangement with the oligarchs to launder his embezzled roubles fir him.
