Many explanations are proposed for the continued rise of Donald Trump, and the steadfastness of his support, even as the outrages and criminal charges pile up.
Next he's stupidly thinking along MSM terms:
but there is one I have seen mentioned nowhere, which could, I believe, be the most important: Trump is king of the extrinsics.
As he proves he's completely stuipd here:
Some psychologists believe our values tend to cluster around certain poles, described as “intrinsic” and “extrinsic”. People with a strong set of intrinsic values are inclined towards empathy, intimacy and self-acceptance. They tend to be open to challenge and change, interested in universal rights and equality, and protective of other people and the living world.
People at the extrinsic end of the spectrum are more attracted to prestige, status, image, fame, power and wealth. They are strongly motivated by the prospect of individual reward and praise. They are more likely to objectify and exploit other people, to behave rudely and aggressively and to dismiss social and environmental impacts. They have little interest in cooperation or community. People with a strong set of extrinsic values are more likely to suffer from frustration, dissatisfaction, stress, anxiety, anger and compulsive behaviour.
Because what he did was set up another division, and in his mind it appears liberal=intrinsic and conservative=extrinsic.. however we can easily see the liberals are objectifying and exploting other people (eg: children should have their genitals cut off if they want), being rude and aggressive (eg: how dare you not use their pronoun), and have little interest in cooperation or community (eg: if you don't let pedophiles in the bathroom with your child you will be cancelled and i will call your work and get you fired)
Anyway, i stopped reading after all this, because the guy is just another "those people are bad, and my side is good and i'm right" piece of shit propagandist..
Trump might well win again – God help us if he does. If so, his victory will be due not only to the racial resentment of ageing white men, or to his weaponisation of culture wars or to algorithms and echo chambers, important as these factors are. It will also be the result of values embedded so deeply that we forget they are there.
You summed it up better than I could. I quit reading about the same place. It sounded like the typical liberal projection, accusing us of what they are doing. Not only is he clueless but he is dead wrong.
This whole thing cracked me up. How much money did they spend on this “study” I wonder! I could have told them the answer for free.
It’s President Trump’s brilliant problem-solving and negotiating skills, his domestic and foreign policies, his intense focus on lifting UP the American people into prosperity across the board regardless of education level or background or ethnicity, his endless list of accomplishments and track record of proven results, his leading by example, his drive and determination to win for We the People, and the fact that he doesn’t back down - no matter the loons throw at him.
"Psychologists may have the answer." Ya think? Great day in the morning! We have common sense we can think and reason for ourselves we KNOW what is good for us and what is not.
I don't think they do

You missed the best part!! /s
It's just shocking how freely they throw insults at us. I wonder if THAT could be a contributing factor...
Oh... wish I hadn't read that
Ugh

If you want to know why someone would vote for Trump. Just ask.
I don't think these writers/magazines are clueless... I just think they are gaslighting their base who don't know any better
You can almost guarantee that psychologists don't have the answer, no matter what the question is.

Another projectionist “expert”…
Bwahahaaa... as long as (they) continue believing such crap, they will continue to lose.

I’m an angry old white man and damn proud of it.
I couldn't even read that entire pile of crap
The kingpin of bullshittery right there.
Could have saved him all that writing. Just has to accept TDS in the Trump Quicksand.
This guy is an idiot.
Why is a British newspaper attacking an American politician? This is election interference.
"Psychologists may have the answer." Ya think? Great day in the morning! We have common sense we can think and reason for ourselves we KNOW what is good for us and what is not.
I'll save them the trouble of trying to figure it out. Americans don't want to be ruled by satanic pedophiles. Done.
