Hey Guys!

I found a new psychology related youtube channel that I'm ready to recommend. I haven't watched every video but I've seen enough to tip you off to it.

This is Dr Russell Razzaque.

https://www.youtube.com/@russrazz

He's currently covering politics and the psychological dynamics that he sees at play in US politics as well as how it affects the international community.

Brief Bio from Psychology Today at the link below.

For those of you who follow Dr. Todd Grande, another channel I've recommended in the past,...this doc is nothing like him. His videos are shorter, easy to follow, and straightforward. He gives you what I would describe as the "quick and dirty" of whatever topic he's chosen.

Check him out and see for yourself. I hope you'll find him a valuable additional resource as you navigate today's ever changing political climate.

Have at, see what you think, and enjoy!

Have watched more of the videos from this psychiatrist, I'm glad I recommended the channel. Here's the latest. Super good explanation of the cruelty we see in some/most MAGA folk. What drives the individuals and how it factors in the reciprocal bonding between Trump and his followers. Run time is about 13 minutes.

Great channel, Jersey!

Many thanks for sharing this information here!

I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! I'm appreciating the channel myself! Information comes in small bites and he's not about sensationalism. Good teacher that one is! If you haven't noticed it yet he recently did a video about how and why MAGA can collapse on account of the Epstein controversy and lack of disclosure. Really, really, good!

That is the one I watched last evening. As with the others I saw, it was very well done. I like his style a lot better for this kind of commentary than Todd Grande's, although Dr. Grande can be very entertaining to watch.

Holee Cats!!!

This new report mirrors EXACTLY what this psychiatrist put forth about the collapse of MAGA!!! In other words, he conditioned his followers to expect conspiracies and now it's coming back to bite him in the behind!!!

Trump is now attacking his own supporters calling them weaklings. Let's see if Dr. Razzaque covers Narc Discard because the new attacks are absolutely a feature of the discard!! This is so freaking cool I can't stand it!!

We never have a good chance to observe a malignant narcissist (possible psychopath) in action much less with a professional psych as narrator/guide AND now the public clearly seeing the dysfunction!

Note: This thread is NOT about debating politics. The sole purpose is to cover the dynamic psychology of politics as presented by Dr. Razzaque and introducing his new channel to MDB for those who are interested.

You guys. You need to be following this channel. Please watch these 2 as you have time.

What EU Leaders Really Think of Trump | A Psychiatrist Breaks Down the Fake Respect

From the comments...

This preplanned, coordinated effort by European leaders was absolutely brilliant.

It is painful to watch this conference as it clearly demonstrates that Trump is out of element and exhibits no leadership abilities whatsoever.

What I saw when Macron said everyone wants peace and then looked hard at Trump. Trump nodded then quickly looked away and down. He knows who doesn't want peace

They are talking to Putin through Trump - that's where we are at.

This is stunning.

Run time is almost 20 minutes. Worth it.

Trump's 4 Point Plan To Subvert Democracy & Effectively Mount A Coup In 2026

We've talked about Trump's psychology many times. Folks if you are not tuning into this psychiatrist I think you're missing out. His videos are relatively brief, he takes an issue in pieces and then explains it to viewers. He's super good at it, I think. Brief, to the point, and his analysis is absent political rhetoric.

This is basically about why Trump hates himself, why his followers choose to support him, and what motivates them and their leader.

Run time: 10 minutes and change
