I need to make something clear here. I don't hate Trump. What I utterly despise is that the Race of Man is so utterly immature despite its great advances on many fronts, that it is still utterly enslaved to the mentality of survival. It is so enslaved to this the easily triggered emotionalism of hard-wired survival mentality that it is completely unaware of when it is operating and moreover of what its causes are. These causes are pre-verbal and pre-cognitive by their nature. They are enforced and enhanced by poor upbringing, and/or by parental neglect and abuse regardless of economic class. This neglect and abuse may not even appear to be that to the casual onlooker, but it most assuredly is.
The results of this neglect and abuse are the sense of not being loved and not being worthy of love. And as we know, these two factors are at the root of everything from addiction to dysfunction and from fear to greed. In other words, infants who feel unloved and unlovable in their own degree and manner manifest compensatory behavior for their unfulfillable need of being wanted, loved, and worthy. This need is at the root of "seeking" behavior. "Seeking" behavior is the emotionally energized and unsatiable pursuit of some imagined external succor for the starvation of the soul experiencing the need. The seeking will be for god, money, drugs, sex, power, anything which for some reason appears to the seeker to hold relief from the unutterable emptiness of the emotional devastation of not feeling wanted and worthy of love.
This seeking will never be, and cannot ever be, overcome, fulfilled or satiated. It can be sublimated, perhaps, and turned around, if and only if it is clearly and unequivocally demonstrated to the seeker by life or circumstance that their seeking is self-destructive beyond compensation. That can happen sometimes, but not often, because a chief feature of seeking is that the object of relief is imagined to be outside of oneself. And very sadly, accompanying the seeking is the empty toolbox of emotional and intellectual sensibilities which might serve as navigational or applicable tools helpful and healing of their condition. Those, if they can, must be supplied from the outside, if possible, until they are found to already exist in a neglected state within the seeking individual.
The handmaiden of seeking is belief. Belief is something which we are all installed with and belief also operates pre-cognitively and pre-verbally. Beliefs are permanently installed before about the seventh year and are buried thereafter by the emerging sense of a separate self. That self up to the point of recognizing itself in the mirror as an "I" discreet from sensations and feeling operates in a receptive state of hypnotic suggestibility. When the discrete "I" appears the previous time is then obscured by linguistic and cognitive ability. And yet, most therapies rely on talk and reason to access these formative modalities which, to them, are necessarily opaque.
So if I despise anything, it's the inaccessibility of the region triggered in those who see an external salve in the impossible and absurd notion of Trump being a useful solution to actual and real problems misidentified as political by his enablers. And Trump is, himself, a flagship example of the very dysfunction necessary of healing and being educated into useful mental and emotional tools for effective dealing with the vast swaths of human possibilities now invisible to him and others like him.
It's the deadly and destructive impasse of this situation which I hate, and why I rail against the obvious and clear deficiencies of someone enabled into office by astoundingly unimaginable amounts of money controlled by those in our own Nation and others whose prime interest is the dissolution of the ideals of American society as a Democratic Nation. They would assault the foundations of Democracy itself to bring about yet another feudal society of power and wretched excess for the few. And to that end, they have enlisted the loosest most unpredictable cannon imaginable of being accepted by the most afflicted parts of our American society of whatever economic level.
That's what I hate, and that's why I call him T-rump, as he is the symbol and expression of reptilian fear and predation on a world struggling dearly to hold on to its meager advances and attempts at, in the future. That would be some actual manner of civilization where the kinds of deficiencies he suffers and perpetuates either cannot happen or will be treated before they wreak personal and societal devastation. And more importantly, that such a devastatingly unfortunate individual will not have such a cryingly sad and disturbed base which can be manipulated into enabling him.
My hate, and love, is for that kind of pathetic condition which now exists. This is a cusp of maturation for us, where the underbelly of our own makeup and made up is on the table for all to see. The question is how do we see it, why, and in the face of people shaking that table, do we yet build another card house of more stable and civilized culture and democracy, but on a base insulated from and curative of the destructive forces now having free reign/rein in our fragile world. How does Love, as so many who have advocated for the healing and elevation of the World, come into play.? If there is a shining Knight or a Horseman in a white hat, Love would be in the saddle guiding the horse of the mind.
