Our republics institutions,along with moral, ethical and religious values are at threat from nihilism . The Judeo-Christian 10 Commandments, Constitution and amendments , the democratic voting procedure , criminal justice system and public education are under attack . This disquisition addresses the threat of a nihilism rebellion.
How many have lost every trace of individuality, love, critical thought and not be aware of it ? So it seems , based on the current maga leader with his following. Trump has become the religion of power. His narcissism is expressed in his seeking of power , prestige , possession and privilege according to his own rules. His moral conscience is one of his weak spots as his "intellect" is compromised . He lives in a world of mistrust . Within his neurotic system , he has to have complete control and domination in every aspect of his life. He destroys, doesn't create and within his life space, his ethical system is perpetuated with a drive and desire for crime . Moreover , his rebellion leads to the subjection not only of his loyalists but others as well .
Trump’ has constructed a set of objectives with force and hatred . His enjoyment appears to be with domination,destruction, possession and power over others. However, the behavior has to be repeated and repeated which can never be fulfilled . He doesn't live in a world of love and compromise. His adoration of self is above everything. He doesn’t judge his irrationality and his beliefs are not about truth, justice and reason.
Within Trump's irrational and criminal mind, he refuses to recognize any law other than his own. Does Trump's neurotic need for domination bring him happiness ? He desires to be the ruler of the world like Caesar. His rebellion leads to the justification of his crimes
.
A few examples of Trump’s nihilistic attitude and behavior include the following : 1. He said he could kill in New York and not be held accountable. Henry VIII comes to mind.. What are his moral principles and /or commandments ? 2. He handpicked Atty. Gen. 's to facilitate his rule and ethical breaking behavior and therefore was able to mislead the public regarding the Mueller report. 3. He was impeached twice . Initially by attempting to hold up arms shipment to Ukraine for political dirt on Biden, and then for the insurrection on January 6, 2020. 4. He has not paid a "fair" amount of taxes. He either inflated or deflated his assets to his advantage. He’s been found guilty and the amount of damages is being litigated. 5. Trump propagated fake news , lies about journalists in an attempt to dismantle and sabotage freedom of the press 6. Trump's university and foundation had been found fraudulent 7. Trump falsified Govid -10 information and trashed the reputation of the CDC 8. Trump lied about the 2020 presidential election and attempted to overthrow the republic . He disregarded the Constitution and facilitated fabrications in his attempt to retain power. The RICO indictments in Georgia; the fake elector scheme and the January 6 attack on the capital are a few illustrations. of his criminal and morally bankrupt sense of morality .Nihilism is a rejection of religious , moral ,ethical ,political , educational and rule of law principles ,
Are we a Christian nation ? Have Trump and his loyalists followed Christ's teachings? With that being said, the “hanging ” of Mike Pence on January 6 was based on what justification , religious principle or commandment ? Did Pence commit some crime ? Following the Constitution, per his role, seemed reasonable . For loyalists intending to kill him for something that Trump said is not only immoral and criminal but crazy , irrational and nihilistic.
Trump told his armed militia and others to go to the Capital and fight like hell. Fight is defined as taking part in a violent struggle involving the exchange of physical blows or the use of weapons. Going to the Capital to fight would serve what purpose? That act would be illegal, irrational , morally defunct , sinful and based on a lie about the election being stolen. What was accomplished by attacking Capital police and trashing lawmakers offices with urine , feces, etc. ? That motivational behavior was associated with an acting out ,emotional dysfunction character flaw of the participants. It had nothing to do with a stolen election lie. Their 10 commandments are ?
An authoritarian despot wannabe requires loyalists which results in a symbiotic relationship between the authoritarian father figure ruler and his followers. The time is hazardous for many in our Republic who seek for a Messianic protector .The following 6 points are illustrations of existential anxiety and uncertainty facing many . 1. We have the greatest concentration of wealth in the hands of a few. Thanks to capitalism. This suggests financial existential anxiety despite the fact that Pres. Biden’s administration has created more jobs, higher wages and lower unemployment rates of any living president. One example, one successful employer stated that although Trump has many negative qualities, he supports him. He favors Trump's economic policies..He didn’t say he was narcissistic , seeks greed and exploitation .He did say that, he cares about people and is helping so many .He does pay them a few dollars more than minimum wage. He also employs many part timers .Prior, during the Affordable Care Act , he worried about having to pay health insurance for his employees. His greed and exploitation for his profit are paramount. Apparently everything else is subordinate .Other factors may be contradictory ,and not that important . His underlying motives and drive are ?
2. Climate change results in existential anxiety regarding the abundance of natural disasters such as fire, hurricanes,earthquakes, tropical storms etc. affecting our safety, health and well-being. Every living thing is negatively affected as greed prevails. And who exited our country from the Paris Climate Change Agreement ?
3. Covid-19 has resulted in over a million deaths with over 99 million cases reported. And what Pres. lied about the Covid -19 threat and placed blame on everyone else but himself ? According to the Woodward interview, Trump didn't perceive or understand that this disease was the most significant threat during his presidency. Aside from the number of deaths and stress on our health care system, another significant occurrence resulted with the negative impact on children's learning. An article in the New York Times, November 19, 2023, titled "The Starting Evidence of Learning Loss Is In “ provides another example..
4. Many in the GOP are reinforcing the rebellion and overthrow of this Republic. The following October 29,2023 New York Times articles titled a. A Right-Wing Fever Dream Comes to Life. b. Trump's Extremists Are Now In The House. c. The Rise of Reactionary Futurism . These articles pertain to the authoritarian threat to our Republic.and are not describing a democratic republic by his followers.
. 5. The occurrence of an exponential rise in hate crimes is contrary to Our Pledge of Allegiance to the flag , the song America the Beautiful and Judaic - Christian philosophy. Are we a melting pot ? Hate crimes are defined as a motivational bias when a perpetrator targets a victim for their perceived membership in groups related to ethnicity, disability, language, nationality, physical appearance, political views affiliation, age, religion, sex, gender identity and/or sexual orientation. These incidents may involve physical assault or homicide damage to property, bullying , harassment, verbal abuse. It includes insults, graffiti, hate mail etc. Recently, 73% of Jewish college students report anti-Semitism on campus this school year per ADL survey . An article titled The Plots Against America found in the November 19, 2023 edition of the New York Times illustrates the existence of a toxic history of hate in our republic.
6. Book banning, criminalizing abortion ,critical race theory, parental rights, whether or not a transgender should be able to participate in sports or admission to a bathroom are just some of the restrictions of authoritarian nondemocratic policies based on hate. . Restriction, control , based on fear and hate thrive with insecurity, The GOP's Culture War Shtick Is Wearing Thin With Voters found in November 12, 2023 of The New York Times pertains. Is there a hidden set of Trump's 10 Commandments?
We cannot deny the peril that is facing our Republic. We are not an experiment per definition. An experiment is a scientific procedure to test a hypothesis or demonstrate a known fact. We have a Constitution and amendments followed based on evolving democratic and humanistic ideas. We have a Supreme Court that has evolved , however , at present has regressed. We have an educational system that assisted many at an earlier time, but now, with its extreme financial burden, have placed many in slavery debt. We have more weapons and of course more killings imaginable. We have a dysfunctional political system, although Santos was expelled. We have too many lawmakers that even though they deceive, lie, and cheat, they are reelected because of how voting districts are gerrymandered. We have an authoritarian ex-president with 91 indictments and his prosecutors , judges and staff are threatened. They are threatened for what moral, ethical or religious principle ? We have difficulty attracting and keeping public school teachers because of the pressure related to GPA ; ,diminished value for learning , for the profession and hateful pressure from unreasonable parents. We have profit mongering insurance monopoles controlling and discriminating against our health and housing welfare . Further , was Jefferson's pursuit of happiness fiction ? Our insecurities and the pursuit of power are the realities of today and threaten the republic .. Can the Republic be saved ? Is the rule of law significant ? Religious, moral and ethical values must be established. Our educational system is in trouble .. We must no longer deny the realities and face the threat of nihilism.
