THREAD: “This is a five-alarm fire…The most important issue of our time,” said Jocelyn Benson, Michigan Secretary of State. A breakdown of Trump loyalists’ growing success in taking control over voting in swing states:
Arizona. Republican legislators have passed a law taking away authority over election lawsuits from the secretary of state, who’s now a Democrat, and giving it to the attorney general, a Republican. And debating another bill that would allow them to revoke election certification.
Georgia. Brad Raffensperger, helped stop Trump’s attempts to reverse the result. State legislators have since weakened his powers, and a Trump-backed candidate is running to replace Him. And passed a law that gives a commission they control the power to remove election officials.
Michigan. Kristina Karamo, a Trump-endorsed candidate who has repeated the Big Lie is running for secretary of state. (Republican candidates are running on similar messages in Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas and elsewhere.)
Pennsylvania. Republicans are trying to amend the state’s Constitution to make the secretary of state an elected position. One of the states where Trump allies — like Stephen Lindemuth, who attended the Jan. 6 rally—have won local races to oversee elections.
Wisconsin. Senator Ron Johnson is urging the Republican-controlled Legislature to take full control of federal elections. Doing so could remove the governor, currently a Democrat, from the process, and weaken the bipartisan state elections commission.

1/4 "George Conway and the Anti-Psychopath Pac took a three-pronged approach. First, we had to go over and around the gatekeepers in the media by going to the American people directly with our ad about Trump's extreme psychopathology."--John Gartner

2/4 "Second, Conway has used his access to get booked on many cable news shows. When he gets on these news programs he does a masterful job of explaining, in a detailed way with the evidence, how dangerously pathological Trump appears to be."
3/4 "The third part of our public awareness strategy involved micro-casting the ads about Trump's apparent pathologies to Mar-a-Lago directly over the course of the weekend. Trump has no impulse control. He will reflexively respond to any perceived attack or challenge."

“Trump’s focus on flesh-eating predators and unsuspecting prey reveals something else about his psyche, said John Gartner, a psychologist and host of the podcast “Shrinking Trump.”

nbcnews.com/politics/2024-…
His father had impressed upon him that he needed to be a “killer” and a “king.” Trump imbibed the idea that being a victim was a fate to avoid. Becoming “the apex predator” was for Trump “the No. 1 objective,” helping explain his fascination with both sharks and Hannibal Lecter, Gartner said.
“In the mind of a predator, the worst thing that can happen is you can become prey,” he said. And so, in Trump’s mind, electrocution sounds preferable to dying in the clutches of a Great White.

2/ “Our generation has really lived through two pandemics. COVID-19, and a psychiatric pandemic of mass delusion, and I would argue that actually the second one is more dangerous.”
3/ "Malignant normality is what happens when a malignantly narcissistic leader captures a society or a subset of society. His crazy destructive ideas become the new orthodoxy, the new conventional wisdom."

2/ Trump demands the Lincoln Project stop beaming their ads into his clubs.
LP responds with a new ad:
"The Donald Trump for President campaign hit a bunch of people this afternoon with cease and desist letters because our ads were too mean for a little Donald."
3/ The Harris campaign has adopted the same strategy of ridiculing him in real time, most recently about his crowd size posting videos of his half empty stadiums and people leaving during his speeches. He can't not react, making him look rattled, defensive and weak.

2/ Gartner: I'm happy to announce that I’m working with George Conway's anti-psychopath PAC as a consulting psychologist. For transparency, I’m ethically required disclose that I'm wearing two hats, because we're going be reporting a lot on PAC.
3/ Segal: I'm only wearing one hat, but I give my emotional and intellectual support.
Gartner: You introduce every episode saying it’s our goal to educate the public about Trump's malignant narcissism and cognitive decline. That’s one aim of the PAC, too
