How to Stop Authoritarians Before They Start

🔸️FITNESS FOR DUTY EVALUATIONS that are mandatory, like the military for high responsibility positions, would have stopped Trump before he got within a mile of the White House.

Bandy X Lee, Steven Hassan, and 100 other psychiatrists agree Trump has five dangerous mental pathologies as listed in the books "The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" and "The Psychology Of Trump Contagion - An Existential Threat to American Democracy and All Humankind".

"Containing Trump Contagion and Healing from Mental Pathology in Politics"

🔸️Fitness for Duty Evaluations start with everyone who interacts with the individual in question, and when red flags start to appear, 'say something.'

The US Military has procedures to follow that require individuals in question to have a Fitness for Duty Evaluation. Voters must demand the House and Senate do the same.

"Stephen Xenakis- Fitness for Duty Exams: Preventing Autocratic Abuse"

🔸️Outside the military are professionals like Dr. Bandy X. Lee who has several dozen colleagues all of whom are highly qualified to do Fitness for Duty Evaluations.

The U.S. House and Senate have several mechanisms to enforce their rules, including:

* Leadership

* Committees

* Floor Procedures

* Party Discipline

It's important to note that these mechanisms are not always used consistently or effectively. The more voters demand mentally fit leaders the more the House and Senate will comply.

🔸️I like what forensic psychologist Dr. Bandy X. Lee says that fascism and authoritarianism are just dangerous mental pathologies that worm their way into politics.

Everyone on Earth deserves and demands leadership that is mentally fit.

Fitness for Duty Evaluations performed by well respected psychiatrists ensures every country has leaders who do not serve their own power, but serve their own people.

With a pool of mentally fit candidates, we then have all the elections we wish.

In this country, volunteer firefighters are held to a higher standard than the President. We would've been booted off the department for any one thing trump has done. One thing.

Can you guys discuss Robert Lighthizer, Trump's trade czar? I used to work as a senior associate under him in the International Trade Department at Skadden Arps. He isn't crazy, he is quite charismatic, but he is NOT a nice man and is a protectionist.

Not a nice man? How could the nicest, sweetest, mostest patriotic, mostest loving, mostest sincere, mostest honest person in the whole wide universe, ever and forever, consider a meanie for his staff? I am astounded!

Focus of this moment in time is important to unite all parties that support the Constitution. It is disturbing to have to support terrible Corrupt, Incompetent people to prevent people who are even worse from being affirmed. Hope enough people with good patriotic morals can unite in All Parties. Keep delivering the truth to everyone you know. I am a Vietnam Veteran and made my mission to spread the truth to all my Veteran brother and Sisters, there are 8 million veterans to reach. I always look forward to Legal AF. Knowledge is Truth to Power! Fight for Democracy! Never GIVE UP!

A lot of professionals in the US need to have clearances done. For instance, I have to get all ton of clearances done, including an FBI clearance because I work with children. Shouldn’t the woman who’s running the department of education have an FBI clearance done on her since she’s overseeing the totality of our children in the US and their education?

They will slash social programs and throw people out into the street and then blame the previous administration for all the homeless. Wait for it

I doubt that Social Security / Medicare / Medicaid / VA benefits will be gutted. In addition to the deluge of litigation being prepared in opposition to the MAGA plans, a lot of MAGA-heads are (finally) realizing that these are essential programs, & are starting to clamor at their senators & representatives. Endless litigation + legislative gridlock = resistance.

Would you please talk with Kamala Harris about why she hasn’t demanded a recount of votes. My vote was tossed out. Personally I think maga got to her. I’ve called my congressman to get a recount. Unfortunately I live in a red state so I don’t think much was done.

Not much consolation, but the Dump has NEVER achieved anything by playing by the rules. He has bullied and cheated his way all the way up to the top, and a lot of people (not a majority, by any means) seem to admire him for that. He "beat the system". Now he's going to BE the system that a lot of people will be trying to beat. May they succeed.

I'm.

Just hoping a lot of these people that Donald Trump once in office do not get in office and I want Biden to get off his assand nominate our Supreme Court. The Donald Trump doesn't have any chances. Why won't Donald Trump convicted for all his crimeswhen Jack Smith is resigning? I think that's crapi. Think the other job the other lawyer. In New York, miss Willis needs to make sure Trump has held connible for all of his crimes over the years.And I wan to see Donald Trump in prison instead of being the prisoner instead of being the President.Sorry, I'm tired I'm not feeling well.I expect that my speech is really don't come out very well

Than Merrick Garland for dragging his feet. Thank The Supreme Court for shredding the US Constitution.
