Re: Yes, understanding isn't the same as excusing.

I don't find his examinations of JD Vance particularly compelling, but everything he says about Trump seems quite insightful to me. I haven't exactly found a "how to 'negotiate' with Trump (aka coddle his ego) to get what you want from him" video yet, something based on the ideas that were presented in that video about his self-anger. That psychiatrist does, however, speak about what to do about combating autocracy. It's interesting, because he mentions Ukraine specifically as a good example of the way to avoid/end it, around the 8-minutes mark. About a minute later, he mentions his wife is Ukrainian. (I think he's wrong about "Yes, we can" slogan being Ukrainian, since it came from Cesar Chavez in the 1970s). Unfortunately, he says later in this video that it's only when the military force decides it is no longer taking orders from the autocrat, that an autocracy finally ends.
