The Vice Presidential debates for the 2016 campaign for the Presidency of the United States happened last night.
They laid bare the American soul.
The candidate for president – Donald Trump – has shown himself to be unstable, irresponsible, saying one thing today and another tomorrow and basically someone who looks as though he is on a cocaine high. He has also shown himself to be a liar. One who lies to manipulate and win.
The candidate for vice president – Mike Pence – has shown himself to be the sociopath on the ticket. A cool, calm, collected, elegant liar who is totally unaffected by his lies because a sociopath is who he is at his core. He can lie and justify the lies of those around him without batting an eye – without his eyelids twitching – without any other physical sign showing that his body can’t stand the lying. So you know that Mike Pence, the sociopath is an accurate comment.
This election has ‘outed’ all of the problem areas in the American populace; American history; American economics, etc.
Up until now, all of these things were pretty much hidden, with code words used, when it was necessary to talk about some of our problems without really being upfront and truthful. And so, the problems have continued and grown worse. We, however, have gotten better at our denials and embroidery and all the others ways we have developed to make a lie look like the truth and to make the denial of a citizens rights look as though that person is hyper-sensitive, complaining unnecessarily, and it is all their fault. That is certainly some of what we have used to get into and continue slavery for a few hundred years; to maintain Jim Crow for a hundred or more years after that; and to force some of the citizens of the United States to use all of their resources, missed opportunities; and more to fight the racism which is constantly tearing them, their families, their friends apart. That is how sociopath as a disease runs all through this American society. That is certainly why we now have a Donald Trump candidacy with a Mike Pence Vice Presidial candidate and almost half the country backing their candidacy. This election is making a major statement about the American character and it is not pretty.
To listen to the media comment on the debate, one is struck that as Americans we all have different degrees of sociopath.
Mike Pence responded to questions about what Donald Trump has said in the past by denying everything negative. He could do that because the media agreed to not fact check this debate. That was a plus for and promotion of the Donald Trump candidacy. Excuse it however you want to, that is a fact. It was clear when the announcement was made that this debate would not be fact checked the media was opening the door for lies, distortions, and more. And the candidate did not disappoint.
Mostly the talk has been about the cool, composed style of Mike Pence and how Tim Paine lost so many points because he was too aggressive, emotional and more. Tim Paine lost points with the media and many of its followers because he responded to a pack of lies the way most people respond to such. Certainly not with denial and more lies on top of the lies with which one is confronted.
I am not sure I could have kept my cool if I were debating someone who was lying consistently and nothing was stopping him. To respond in the cool composed manner the media expected of Tim Kaine would have said Kaine was bordering on the sociopath. His upset, emotional and sometimes overly aggressive way of responding is normally how someone responds to being faced with a barrage of lies at an important moment with millions of people listening. That must be an incredibly frustrating time. To act any other way would be to project an emotional lie.
And why do we have folks complimenting Mike Pence for his “style” and demeanor and to give him excuses for the lies he told such as – he must not listen to the coverage given his running mate; or, he probably has immune himself to Trump’s lies and can deny all that he denied because he hasn’t heard Trump say these things – and on and on and on.
But Mike Pence prepared for this debate and one way of preparing is to go over the issues and your tickets response to the issues. Given that, his responses to say Trump didn’t say that or to attempt to turn something Trump did say into something else in that cool way he had, these are the actions of a long terms strong sociopath.
If you didn’t recognize that – check yourself.
If you did, then you also recognized that the society in which we live is so wrapped up in its own form of sociopath that it didn’t see anything wrong with Mike Pence’s performance.
To deny the racism in this society is to lie about what you know and what your ancestors knew was true.
To deny the sexism in this society is to lie about what you know and what your ancestors knew was true.
To allow homelessness with human beings sleeping on the streets; having no jobs; no care of any kind; and being treated by many in the most rejecting, demeaning and ugly way and to deny that you know this about yourself and others and that you know this is what your society is about is a form of sociopath.
To work in a corporation and to see how it is destroying human life – the environment – plus other kinds of ugly and evil things and not address this while denying the existence of what you see on a day to day basis is a form of sociopath.
I could go through the entire list, but you get the message.
So, when a Mike Pence comes on television and lies the way he lied on Tuesday evening and to have the media saying he “won” the debate for various reasons says we have a long ways to go to reach some kind of caring humanity. We are stuck in a lying, self-justifying, sinful place which we then justify, substitute a great style to accept the lying – its ok to lie if you do it elegantly and in an acceptable way, and more.
All corners of this society are being exposed by Donald Trump’s campaign and Tuesday evening showed us the worst.
I want to be around people who are distressed, disturbed, distraught when they are faced with lies and liars – the way Tim Paine was when he was faced with Mike Pence and his lies and denials.
I want to be around people working to make this world a better place for all of us. Not perfect people because we only seem to reach perfection. In actual fact we are all flawed, but working on those flaws. To be around those with the perfect persona projected by Mike Pence on Tuesday hardens us back to the actors and others who have presented perfect images to us during their political campaigns and we bought them hook, line and sinker. But even in the buying we knew it was a lie, we just engaged in denial to accept and promote the liars and elect them to the important posts in the land.
