Oh wow! LOL I hope I got it right. I’m definitely not a psychologist but I was talking with a friend who has a Bachleor’s in it and I was discussing historical similarities between political extremism and cults. She told me “It’s called an Extinction Burst” so I did a little research on what it was.
Seems to fit more than all these grand Machiavellian strategies that really don’t.
Interesting take. I do hope you are correct with the extinction burst..not sure how this 73 year old can handle much more.. hopefully declaring himself King will be the end of the road .
I have to remind myself that there is a significant difference between now and 1933: the fact that Nazis are really dumb and we already know what to expect from them. It’s not as big a difference as it sounds but it could make all the difference.
Thank you for your brilliant analysis. When Musk engages in slurs against an astronaut, you know he is near the end, the major meltdown is coming. THANK YOU for your wisdom and insight, Frederic.
The extinction burst is also the maga base. All that racism, bigotry and misogyny are screaming against world changing and moving past them. They can't stop it. We are not going back. Thanks for the great article and your calm , deliberate, messaging makes people feel more encouraged to keep going.
It is so frustrating to watch people attempt to attribute intelligence or planning to Trump. We've seen he's clearly a moron. "I have concepts of a plan" is a massive overstatement of the level of stupidity we're dealing with. He is doing what he's told, and made to look like it was his idea. He is only concerned with how he looks as the strong, tough, smart guy. None of which is true.
I hope you are all right as well. I would love to understand if there really is a plan because our president does not seem to hold onto a single thought very long.
I agree partially that the MAGA base is annihilating itself, but I think there is a somewhat different TFG support base that believes they will reap the riches of the event. Whether the apocalypse is economic, political or disease, they are banking on if they survive it, they will be kings of their domain.
Federal workers, if you see a pile of DOGE shit, call MAGA. They want to take him back to the capitol. He’s got a lot of splaining to do. DOGE wants to take the new Air Force One to last red hat rally in Red Square?? No invitation??
They know their king is dead. They know Don is gone.
When both the Presiden& VP are done
JD tried to kill the Pope, Jesus
A roll call vote is held to select an officer to stop the motherf&)$ing one way cargo planes to Russia and hold new elections.
I had lunch today with 3 of my dear friends and guess what we discussed? Extinction bursts. 2 of us are psychologists.

Pretty sure you got more than the gist of it and we all thought the same before I read your very well written article!

Good recap. Seems to explain why the top .01% came up with the bitcoin philosophy. Literally billions of dollars based on nothing.
"Extinction burst" is exactly the right technical term. This was great.
Another great podcast! Thank you for sharing this with us! I liked it so much I shared it on Facebook and Bluesky!
Thanks man! Appreciate that. :)
You’re so welcome! I think your voice should be better known!
This makes sense to me. I've been saying for a long time "You can't stop progress. You can only slow it down!"

Brilliant break down and take down of the current forces dominating this country. So enjoy listening to an intelligent, thinking person! Thanks you!
Wow. Thank you for your insight. I'm watching from the sidelines and I appreciate that you know what you're talking about.
It's a lonely place these days.
The concept of the prolonged temper tantrum from the uber wealthy elite is very plausible, and I agree that it's evident.
They're depleting faster and resources are scarecer..
They're having a panic attack.
But, hey. They have a penthouse in heaven waiting, and Elon will take them there in his SpaceX Nazi rocket.
Fuck.
Thank you.
Peace.

Michael Cohen said he never has a plan. It’s just whatever he’s feeling that day.
I hope you are correct. Fingers crossed.
