When will #KamalaJoy land a knock-out punch on #DontheCon's deteriorating confabulation, concerns about early dementia, and his unfitness to serve?

#Unfit2Serve in 2016, and much more so in 2024.

Take time for slow thinking, deep learning, and musing.

• How is it that an ill-informed, deranged, pathological liar talking sheer nonsense at times has a good chance of winning the Presidency again?

Democracy's greatest failures

The USA is a corrupt crony democratic train wreck heading over the edge of an autocratic cliff, unless we, the People, vote to derail the train wreck.

AI elaboration

• How might we zoom out to the Big Picture to understand and unravel the complex myriads of dark forces that conspire to set up our dystopian state of affairs?

Democracy's greatest failures are educational inequities, reductionist thinking, and the failures to cultivate equity meta-governance guided by a constellation of virtues and the constraints of ethical discernment on the deep state of dark forces.

• How do we emancipate our moral imaginations beyond our wildest dreams and break through the constraints of our vision and mission statements?

AI inquiry: elaborate on the meaning and implications of this sentence and question

Our educational system has dumb down learning to condition people to expect simple, clear content and marketing messages: keep it simple and stupid. This mindset expection sets up a prejudice and resistant against engaging in deep thinking and learning about complexity. We can use poems and protest songs to counter this prejudice.

Listen to inspiring poems

A broad array of dark forces account for the complexities of our meta-crisis, poly-crisis and impeding poly-collapse of living beyond planetary boundaries. We need the light of virtues to illuminate our dysfunctional ego-shadows and the deep state of dark forces.

Reductionist thinking seeks simplistic formulas and frameworks to manage these overwhelming complexities in inadequate ways. We need to develop complexity thinking skills to understand how these myriads of deep forces interact in dysfunctional ways.

Failure is inevitable for those who focus on Sustainable Development Goals and regenerative governance in isolation, without understanding the deep state of dark forces, because these decontextualized initiatives go against the first principles of interdependence and interconnectedness that they claim to support.

It is essential to zoom out to the level of equity meta-governance to guide and co-ordinate our governance processes across the domains of wicked problems at the macro level. Otherwise, we live in a cesspool where unintended negative consequences compete against each other to do harm.

Governance forces

• Unethical governance, inept stewardship, and incompetent leadership
• Mal-alignment among and between the political, public and private sectors
• Meta-crisis of systemic power abuse dynamics
• Poly-crisis: our complex entanglement of self-inflicted wicked problems
• Escalating economic, educational, social and health inequities
• Impeding poly-collapse
• Cultural prejudices against equity meta-governance

Political forces

• Alt-right propaganda machines and the disinformation plague
• Extreme dysfunctional polarizations and toxic divisiveness
• Cults of self-righteous fundamentalism
• Cancer culture wars driven by identity politics

• Truth decay and endemic distrust in institutions
• Anti-patriotic collusion working against the self-interests of we, the people.
• Gullible populus susceptible to the strongman savior syndrome
• The imperialism of techno-feudalism and dysfunctional social media

Economic forces

• Neoliberalism of corporatocracy
• Profits over purpose, people and the planet
• Self-serving supremacy of corporate, professional and personal brands over altruistic causes
• Marketing corporatization that treats people, life and nature as commodities
• Technocratic and business mindsets driving the tyranny of reductionism

Social forces

• The cult of absolute libertarianism
• The lack of moral constraints on ugly freedom and fake patriotism
• Great simplification and the "dumbing down" of education
• Societal atomization, the loneliness epidemic, and declining happiness
• Fragmentation of communities and cultures
• Systemic biases, isms, prejudices, inequities and discrimination (#BIPID)
• Violation of personal autonomy, sovereignty and human rights

The complexities of this situation call for creating sledgehammer questions to drive transparency accountability in exposing Trump's incompetencies and in assessing the degree to which he has contributed to this deep state of these dark forces.

These questions must spreadhead penetrating doubts within the MAGA cult, but more importantly, among the undecided and independent voters about Trump's unfitness to serve.

It is a waste of time to try to change die-hard Trumpsters' minds in their deluded state of mass psychosis.

• How might we learn from the Merchant of Doubts to cast doubts about Trump's fitness to serve, but with the moral integrity?

#ConFabDon epitomizes the Peter Principle of inept politics that attract candidates with Asocial Personal Leadership Disorder: pathological megalomania, malignant narcissism, incessant sociopathy and autocratic authoritarianism.

• How much of Trump's deteriorating mental health has shifted from the conscious confabulation of narcissistic sociopathy in 2016 to the unconscious confabulation of early dementia in 2024?

During the debate, VP Kamala Harris effectively baited and triggered Trump's lizard brain into the twilight zone between conscious and unconscious confabulation.

Conscious confabulation is deliberate pathological lying linked to sociopathy and asocial personality disorder. Trump's untruthfulness is the hallmark brand for conscious confabulation. On this score count alone, Trump lacks the integrity to serve as president.

AI elaboration: explore further the implications of these sentences.

His leadership incompetencies are a threat to the National Security and to the world. He is erratic, unhinged, and ignorant despite his narcissistic and sociopathic claims to the contrary. He projects the TDS label (Trump Derangement Syndrome) on his opponents to deflect from his own deranged mental afflictions and psychopathy.

Trump's fool-aid is like a fentanyl addiction to the MAGA supporters. He has induced a cult trance of blind unconditional loyalty and self-righteous, closed-minded fundamentalism.

Trump's improv mesmerizing spectacles, enabled by alt-right propaganda machines, set the stage to reinforce the cult trance and mass psychosis of the BIG LIE to deny the January 6th insurrection, or minimize its significance.

This mass psychosis disables Trumpsters from using their BS detectors. Trumpsters are prisoners of their closed-mindedness on account of their Fool-aid addiction. They have abdicated their freedom of free-thinking to the rigid cult group think.

For these fool-aid addicts, Trump is a fountain of disinformation taken either as the truth or as the ends justifying the means. Trumpsters become puppets, pawns, parrots, and pit bulls for his Trump's tropes and memes.

Unconscious confabulation is a memory error characterized by the production of fabricated, distorted, or misinterpreted memories without the conscious intention to deceive. This occurs when individuals unintentionally create false memories, often to fill gaps in their recollection.

AI elaboration: explore further the implications of confabulation and dementia.

#ConFabDon is the regal king of confabulation. What the Harris-Trump debate failed to unravel was the extent to which Trump has shifted along from continuum from conscious to unconscious confabulation. This character flaw of conscious confabulation needs a knock-out punch for the truth, and unconscious confabulation needs medical treatment.

We have become desensitized to this ludicrous and embarrassing state of political affairs because our ineffective mass media do not deploy radical candor in challenging and holding Trump accountable to the truth.

Vice president Kamala Harris's prosecutorial style won the debate intellectually, but not emotionally, to trigger doubts in Trumper's supporters.

Intellect, facts, rationality, and policies do not win elections alone. Emotional appeals do. Too often, negative emotions trump positive ones in the winning of elections. It is easier to destroy than to construct.

#KamalaJoy got under the skin of #ToxicTrump. She offered click-bait comments to evoke his anger. She partially unhinged Trump to confabulate about crowd size, immigrants eating dogs, cats and pets in Ohio, and the increasing crime rate. The live moderator's fact-checking refuted his lies live during the debate.

During one of Trump's verbal meanderings, he made the absurd accusation that Biden hates Harris. Was his accusation conscious or unconscious confabulation?

• How might we convince some MAGA supporters to abstain from voting for Trump, like former president George W. Bush, or better still, vote for Harris like Dick and Liz Cheney?

The moderators and Kamala did not follow up about Trump's confabulation, cognitive impairments, and increasing temperate volatility, as signs of deteriorating executive mental functioning. These symptoms are possible warning signs of early dementia.

The mass media and the Harris-Walz team have yet to trigger a Trump catastrophic melt-down with an emotional diatribe of incoherent confabulation that some MAGA supporters might consider having second thoughts about voting for him.

VP Kamala Harris could have gone further to shed light on Trump's twilight by making this assertion about his twilight confabulation that raises serious concerns about early dementia.

• How might the mass media and the Harris-Walz team use sledgehammer questions to expose Trump's deteriorating mental health about his conscious and unconscious confabulation with follow-up process comments that hold Trump transparently accountability to his blatant lies and his moral hypocrisies?

Imagine if VP Kamala Harris had said.

Donald, you can't handle the truth ... you can't tell the differences between truth and lies ... I am concerned that you make up stories to hide your memory decline.

The American voters must take away the nuclear weapon keys from you. You are emotionally unfit temperamentally to serve as commander-in-chief. We don't need a hothead in the White House who is at high risk of decompensating under pressure.

You are not mentally fit to be the President of the most powerful democracy in the world.

• How might #KamalaJab become #KamalaPunch to knock #ConFabDon out of the political ring?
