[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]‘No Kings’:  Politics as Bad Group Therapy

Participants in the rallies accomplish nothing practical but feel heard, validated, and affirmed.

Oh, wow. A white mansplainer who loves Trump and is a crackpot therapist who wantonly ignores history For those of you who don't have subscriptions....

"After a “No Kings” rally last October, I was walking through the area and paused to read the signs. A woman asked me, “Aren’t these great?”

“I don’t know,” I replied. “I kind of like some of Trump’s policies.”

LOL, see everyone there![/quote]

Funny that you didn't quote what the woman said back to him:

[b]“I don’t know,” I replied. “I kind of like some of Trump’s policies.”

“Well, f— you then.”

Such a completely typical response from one of these moronic protesters.  If you aren't 100% with them, they tell you to f-off.  Just like here on DCUM.

Alpert does not "love Trump," you moron.  But he has certainly pointed out how therapy should be a neutral zone, free from politics, yet many patients and therapists are dragging in their political obsessions.

The consequences of political division are showing up in therapy rooms. Polarization mimics anxiety or depression, with symptoms of withdrawal, broken relationships and constant stress. Patients cut off relatives, refuse to date across party lines, even demand political loyalty oaths. Surveys bear this out: In a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, 27% of Democrats and 10% of Republicans said politics has negatively affected their friendships. Dating surveys show two-thirds of Americans insist on political compatibility, and 1 in 6 have ended relationships over it.

By clinical standards, polarization shares many markers with recognized disorders: social isolation, chronic stress, heightened anxiety and maladaptive coping. [b]Therapists, far from treating it, often amplify polarization by validating partisan rigidity in clients. When doing this, therapists function less as healers than as vectors of this new disorder. It’s becoming the defining pathology of our time.[/b]

It’s funny how the RWNJ goons want politics kept out of everything else as soon as they hear that the voices don’t agree with them.

But boy oh boy, if it’s Jon Voigt or Toby Keith or Harrison Butker, everybody needs to STFU and listen to these guys![/quote]

I mean, do you hear yourself?  You call anyone you want to silence a “RWNJ goon.”  You literally want anyone who is not 100% in agreement with you to be silenced.  The reason you love these silly marches is because it’s a safe echo chamber full of people who think exactly like you.  The above quote from that article is it in a nutshell.

As for your last paragraph, that’s quite a leap.  As usual.[/quote]

You know that we can all tell how much the marches hurt your feels by the fact that you keep performatively posting about it, right?
