Sometimes, in presidential elections, the policy positions of Democrats and Republicans overlap and are difficult to distinguish, but that’s not the case in 2024.
A significant difference between the Democratic Party and Republican Party foreign policies was discovered in his public policy research by the statistician and clinical psychologist Mattias Desmet. He reports the findings of this research in the book that is entitled "The Psychology of Totalitarianism." He found that the existence of a large group of people in a given country who mistake a "complex" physical system for a "non-complex system is a precursor to totalitarian rule over the people of this country, where a "complex" physical system is one that exhibits one or more "emergent properties, each of which is a property of the whole system but not of the separate parts of this syste where as a "non-complex" physical system exhibits no such property. An examination of the public policies of the Democratic and Republican parties reveals that Democratic Party politicians make this mistake but Republican Party policians do not do so.. Thus, a voter who wishes to live under totalitarian rule should vote for Democratic Party candidates for a given office but a voter who wishes not to live under totalitarian rule should vote for Republican Party candidates for office. Your reaction?
I'm sure this was challenging to synthesize and I completely agree with you (and disagree with Mr. Oldberg and his logic based on other books I have read). Also, I shared your column with Oleksiy Sorokin of the Kyiv Independent. Thanks for keeping us informed of your views. I look forward to reading your upcoming book.
