EP61: Crucifying Donald Trump Empowers Him - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

You're going to think, based on the title, that we're doing an episode about Donald Trump's indictments. Well, as Thoreau wrote, "There are a thousand hacking at the branches... to one who is striking at the root." There could be a dozen more indictments. Let the regime media obsess about that. What's more interesting is that candidate Trump seems to be crushing it in the polls! Why? Could you imagine this happening before Trump did it? There have been commentators offering answers. Frankly, most of them are hacking at the branches. Their explanations have been lame, if not wrong. An article for Compact Magazine by Lee Siegel titled, "The Crucifixion of Donald Trump," is on the right track and provides valuable insight. https://compactmag.com/article/the-crucifixion-of-donald-trump In this episode of Gracearchy with Jim Babka, I [Jim Babka] use the Siegel article to go deeper. I'll take you to the very root of this matter. I'll do even more. I'll also tell you how... Donald Trump is actually empowered by his alleged enemies. My explanation is derived from both an important book and the lens of grace (of course). When you listen, you'll learn the name of that book and how grace applies. Even better... You'll get the details and come away able to share this insight with others. You'll sound brilliant with people on both sides. You might even help heal the world. 0:00 Intro 0:43 Is understanding complicity? 3:08 Civilization's goal: Human Respect 7:18 Trump is the pain, not the medicine 10:44 Trump The Anti-Fragile Politician 15:43 Why the Media & DNC make Trump powerful 20:01 Clinging to guns, Bibles, and antipathy 22:49 MAGA, Media, DNC all want this! 23:38 Gracearchy is anti-bipartisan 24:54 Trump is more a phenomenon than a person 27:03 Trump's deplorable, we're deplorable 28:18 If Trump tweets in the forest... 30:10 Coming soon from Gracearchy Labs 31:54 Shame is a failed strategy 34:57 Understanding is not complicity 35:42 How to show grace, instead "Antifragile" by Nassim Taleb: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifragile_(book) Bill Protzmann is your moderator.
