Trumps Poll Numbers Are Up As He Cuts Back On Amygdala

Always funny to watch so-called experts critique the master:

President Donald Trump has been relatively subdued in recent weeks — and his poll numbers have spiked.

The trend can be traced back to the passing of the news cycle about his “shithole countries” remark from the middle of last month. In the weeks that followed, he has only posted a handful of acerbic or unnecessary tweets — virtually unprecedented for such a length of time — and delivered a series of speeches that remained on message…

And the trend has been noticed by observers.

“I have noticed,” Alex Conant, a Republican strategist and communications director for Sen. Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign, told Business Insider in an email. “The president’s shown more message discipline in the last month than he did in all of 2017. It’s directly correlated with general improvement in his poll numbers.”

Conant is right about the correlation between Trump’s weeks of relative calm and the improved polling. On Thursday, Trump’s approval rating reached its highest point in months, according to the RealClearPolitics aggregate of polls.

I love how now nobody remembers the shithole comment, but everybody remembers that Donald Trump only wants to import quality immigrants from the best countries to make America as great as it can be. And in the back of their mind, the media and the left want to import crap and pollute our nation with imbeciles and savages from shithole countries.

I remember a reader here writing a piece back during the primaries, saying Donald was moving into the “Mike Tyson zone,” where nothing he would do could shock people. That is amygdala-desensitization, and I think Trump has used it prodigiously in his early months by shocking leftist amygdalae relentlessly. Leftists were constantly horrified, but that had a two-fold effect. First, it left them bothered by politics. Every day was a new horror, and throughout it all, they were helpless. This demoralized them, and many left the political realm after a while, just to escape the constant-amygdala. Few leftists want to spend every day looking like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer at a Donald Trump State Of The Union Speech.

The second effect it had was to reset what had become impossibly neurotic leftist amygdalae. We had been getting to the point that what was setting off leftist tirades were stimuli so small even the leftists coined the term micro-aggression. Leftists got that way through amygdala atrophy, which was itself produced by a lack of amygdala stimuli. It was a dangerous aspect of leftism, because it left Democrats able to easily rouse their base using the weakest of stimuli.

What Trump has done is reset leftist amygdalae to expect major amygdala-horrors on a daily basis. Yes, the skewed media polls showed a decline in his approval as he did this, but he didn’t need approval at that point, so it was worthwhile. Now he can ratchet back the amygdala-stimuli and most leftists are demoralized, the ones that are left think he is being really nice all of a sudden, and they will have less drive to go after him aggressively as a result. And meanwhile an invigorated right, thrilled by his relentless victories, will rush to the polls to vote for him.

This is a master of cognitive neuroscience who knows, beyond any doubt, what levers he is pulling, and exactly when they need to be pulled. It is fascinating that a field like politics, so important and so powerful, has rarely seen anyone who even begins to understand these mechanisms enter the fray. You would think an entire support industry would have already sprung up around every candidate, teaching them all of this material.

That they have not, might be an indicator that Donald Trump was right, and for decades all we were seeing was a rigged system.

Spread r/K Theory, because there is no substitute for knowing how the mechanism works

Trump is a genius (and a stable one to boot, lol).

But looking at this at the macro level, the people that will profit from Trump the most will be the r’s.

Because he seems to be the only one that could make the transition from r to K relatively peaceful.
Without Trump, the K-shift would also happen, but quite probably a lot more bloody.

He must fix education too by getting rid of the leftist manipulators that use it to brainwash the children and to recruit the kids to the alt-left globalist cabal paramillitary groups like the antifa and blm. Thou that requires other areas of the swamp to get drainned first. Freezing Soro’s and CO assets and chooking up the influx of drugs into the country would remove the financing of such treasonous evil organizations.

AC: I’m currently writing an in-depth review of R-K Selection and political ideology, my intention is to make it the sort of thing that can be posted on any forum on the internet, not too short but not overlong either. There are a few quotes from The Evolutionary Psychology Behind Politics inside it, with citations of course. I’m just asking this hear to cover my tail and make sure nothing will go wrong: do I have your permission to write this review?

He really is running circles around them all. They continue to be clueless and underestimate him. That, of course, is a great thing.

All hail the God Emperor!
