It's funny, the same social dynamics played out from different positions leads people to completely polarized positions. For example, the demonizing tone of anti-Hillary people has made me feel much more pro-Hillary (along with actually looking at her life, career and positional stances over time), while the same polarizing cognitive impulse has led anti-Hillary people into a trench of social media us/them clickbait and Trump supporters into a pit so deep the religious ones will fear for their souls and the machismo-cultists will spiral into depression and addiction when he is roundly humiliated in upcoming debates and in November.

People are basically cause-and-effect operated. One gains a certain leverage by knowing that and studying it, but one is never beyond cause and effect. It's a conceit of immortality, that one is immune from the great web by virtue of being "right". All in all, everyone is innocent, everyone guilty, everyone redeemable, some doomed to be socially stigmatized until their demise. The Tao reigns supreme, and it includes everyone and everything, forever, inside and beyond spacetime.

"Greg, I heard you joined the Nazi league at school, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Well, Dad, I know you taught us to stay in school and avoid Jews except for homework and all but it's the Muslims, Dad, the Muslims want my position on the football team and they already have Ramadan, why do they have to ruin everything?"

Jan: "It's MARSHA who ruins everything! Muslims voted for me as class President. It's Marsha!"

"Hold on Jan... these Muslims got me in trouble for bullying, just because I called them evil terrorists and pushed one off the stairs. Why couldn't she dress NORMAL, Dad?"

"Now, Greg. This is the modern world and you have to be careful. Why not think about ways to get the Muslim kids in trouble without making it so obvious, use your wits and not your brawn, that's the Brady way."

"Gee, Dad, that makes a lot of sense! I'm gonna try it!"

Peter: "Gee, Greg, the Nazi league sounds swell! Would I get a uniform? What about a trenchcoat!"

Greg: "Hyeah, you can get all kinds of cool stuff if you join up!"

In unison: "HEIL TRUMP!"



Alice: "I don't like the sound of this, why do I feel like I should be twirling through mountain meadows... do y'all believe in past lives?"



Marsha enters... "Hey all, what's going on? Isn't it a groovy day?"

Some procedural and poetic Flash montages I made a while back for Howard Bloom's Big Bang Tango. 
 

Best outcome for Bernie supporters:

Get him a cabinet position (education or finance reform) in exchange for their Hillary vote (assuming they can get over their butthurt and fair-weather loyalty in order to think strategically).

Apparently some political newbies abandon their idols when they make a decision to compromise with reality in order to be relevant later on. Bernie was right.He just was. He didn't suddenly lose his ethics or become brain-damaged.And he'll still be relevant and have influence if you support his next moves.

Or, go right ahead and make a feeble protest vote that won't even register next to the Libertarian protest vote and risk *THAT* guy becoming the coked-out finger on the nuclear button, and watch the dollar fall to worthless as investors switch to foreign currencies. Hillary isn't quite the monster portrayed in right wing propaganda. She fucked up a little. He'll fuck up *tremendously*. Your protest vote won't make a dent, but your support for Bernie under a Democratic Administration will, if you understand his logic and give it.

Pstychopaths, sociopathis, corporate/gpvernment types, paper-pushers, button-pressers, zombies and post-traumatic land mines are a great deal of the problem. Two thirds of the largest police union endorses Trump. Who the mother-fornicating hell endorses Trump at this stage? Racist, misogynistic, sociopathic trolls, End Times gun-humping fundamentalist freaks and snake-oil get-rich-quick prosperty gospel narcissists and Ayn Rand types. This frightens me, and I have pale skin. And I'm *very* aware of that when I see police around my neighborhood. They're paranoid, on edge or just doing their jobs with no sense of what's going on on the holistic level. The one-third probably sees it all and wonders how to address it without getting fired, set up, murdered or simply ignored as "brainwashed, excuse-making liberals".

This is the most inspirational, sincere and funny anti-Trump voting advocate video I've found this far:

George Soros is mentioned a lot by detractors of Progressive politics, his book The Alchemy of Finance is really good, deep theory on market behavior when anticipation of trends factors in and alters the course of trending markets. Such things can make people a lot of money if they anticipate the psychological effects of market forces and compensating behavioral adjustments by large numbers of people affecting the markets. This can also be done with social capital, by adjusting one's communication to influence perception of trends in order to make trends better. Or worse,if one is black-hat trolling. Works both ways, depending on who's doing it.
