The Wound That Rules Us

March 19, 2025

A man’s wounds in office have become the world’s nightmare. And yet, he was fairly elected. The focus shouldn’t just be on him—but on the people who put him there. That’s the root. That’s how we got here., AGAIN!

Our system doesn’t account for a leader’s mental health. But beyond the system, uninformed ignorance, blind commitment to principles without considering external realities, and power-hungry individuals seeking validation through proximity to power—these are the forces that paved his way.

Trump’s rise wasn’t magic. It wasn’t even deception. It was a masterclass in salesmanship, exploiting fear and division, while too many people saw a campaign instead of a warning. Kamala Harris told us it would be dangerous. It wasn’t just politics—it was real.

How did we let a man with sociopathic tendencies hold the highest office? We know this behavior. We’ve seen it. We’ve studied it. But we refuse to confront the psychology behind it. Because understanding it means facing hard truths about ourselves.

This isn’t about good versus evil. It’s about wounds. His wounds. The wounds of those who follow him. And the wounds of a society that still doesn’t grasp the power of an aware, informed electorate.

Fear cannot govern a country. Power hunger cannot be its compass. And yet, here we are, AGAIN!

The work isn’t just about fixing the system—it’s about fixing ourselves. Because a world that understood better would have never let him get this far.
