Andrew Sullivan Says, Build The Wall

Even the anti-Trumpers are coming together and saying, “Build The Wall”:

in less than three weeks, we will be here again, with another excruciating dilemma. Do we set up vast tent cities and camps to imprison families indefinitely, or do we simply let these families go free, and hope they show up for a future court date? Either way, we solve nothing fundamental and leave a huge incentive for those trying to enter the U.S. illegally to bring children with them when they do. And that does happen. There is fraud and trafficking and opportunism as well as valid family-based escapes from violence and persecution, and it can be hard to tell one from the other.

As in everything, Trump makes things worse. His rhetoric, his callousness, his wanton lies all make a compromise harder. It’s completely understandable that Democrats do not wish to let him off the hook in any way before November. But there’s a big conflict here if you actually want to end the suffering, or get at the real problem. If you do not want to jail kids with their parents indefinitely, or to maintain the incentive for illegal migrants to bring kids along for the harrowing ride, you need some sort of congressional action and soon…

So give him his fucking wall. He won the election. He is owed this. It may never be completed; it may not work, as hoped. But it is now the only way to reassure a critical mass of Americans that mass immigration is under control, and the only way to make any progress under this president. And until the white working and middle classes are reassured, we will get nowhere.

Notice how he says, “Trump makes everything worse.”

Leftists are rabbits, who want to be told there are no problems so they can shut off their amygdalae and stop being stressed. When low IQ migrants with vastly different ideas of the government’s relationship with the people begin flooding in and changing the nation, the leftist wants to ignore the problem by saying there is no problem. Even better is to go the other way, and say they will enrich our culture, and make America better.

We were the most free and greatest nation on earth, that had attained heights no other civilization ever attained, with nowhere to go but down from a historical perspective. But if the leftist thought we had to make hard decisions to maintain that greatness, they would feel stressed. So in the leftist mind, if harshness and bad-feels threaten, then they will conclude that you can do anything to this nation and it will just get better. Suddenly there is no stress.

Enter Donald Trump. Suddenly the left can’t escape the reality of the situation. He forces them to realize the reality. Suddenly the path of least resistance for their amygdala is to solve the problem with as little pain to everyone as possible – build the wall. The truth is Trump is making our reality better, but the liberal perception is Trump is making everything for them worse, because they don’t deal in reality.

They deal only in amygdala, and when the world is going to hell and the God Emperor is trying to save it, There is plenty of amygdala to go around. And eventually, that forced recognition of reality and additional amygdala leave the left with only one option to diminish the amygdala – support what the God Emperor wants.

Tell everyone about r/K Theory, because amygdala does not make the world worse

AC,

What are your thoughts on narcissists calling PDJT a narcissist?

I think PDJT has a healthy amount of narcissistic tendencies (he has a healthy ego), but I don’t buy the people calling him a malignant narcissist. If anything, it seems like the people calling him that are narcissists themselves, or are victims of narcissists and are projecting their unresolved issues onto him.

I’m also curious about how you might respond to a narcissist who calls someone else a narcissist? Is there a practical way of maneuvering through this type of encounter?

Thanks very much,
FJ

I was struck by how Trump has the quiet, kind introvert voice when I heard him on the radio a few times after he became president. It was a nice contrast to the arrogant doofus prick we had to endure for eight years.

Why did Trump create the space force? What’s going on?

“I see so many of his CIA associates telling him he was paranoid.”

Isn’t paranoia CIA’s bread and butter? Or did they switch to I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter! and not inform us?

It’s also simpler than AC’s theory, as a independent consideration.

The USAF has not done a great job as custodian of the nation’s space efforts. And their whole other mission and its philosophy is just a bad fit with the space responsibility.

Star Trek actually got it right when they made it “USS Enterprise” – a Navy is far more congruent with the real needs of space, vs. NASA’s “Right Stuff” beginning that favored pilots. Think especially of the nuclear submarine force, which is a very close parallel to space.

Thing is, the US Navy follows the doctrines of Alfred Thayer Mahan, which emphasize decisive clash (great simplification, but broadly true). And think of its beginnings, with John Paul Jones etc. So the USN is *culturally* unsuited to run a space force, which is all about Sir Julian Corbett’s naval ideas re: lines of communication and support for other arms.

So if you want an organization that thinks like a Navy but patterns on Corbett instead of Mahan, you need a new organization.

But you’d better pattern them very consciously on Corbett, or you’ll get the same self-absorbed B.S. we’ve had every since the Army Air Corps became the USAF, and stropped wanting to support troops on the battlefield as an institutional priority (see: Key West agreement, C-27J, A-10, it goes on).
