My point is that people like Trump will never have a change of mindset. If his problems truly are pathological then he can never have a change of mindset.

I’m seriously asking. What would be done with him in an ideal society? Others here are saying that the goal is to make a society where power cannot be concentrated. Great, but someone like Trump will try to do so, and he will never ever stop until he is involuntarily stopped. What does stopping him look like?

The goal is also to change the mindset and values of people.

Suppose we have a hypothetical individual named “Tonald Drump”. This individual has pathological conditions which force him to not only crave power and domination over others, but to be willing to do absolutely anything to those ends. He will say anything, do anything, and promise anything to get as much for himself as possible and to get as many people as possible to continually praise him. What shall be done about Mr. Drump?

Yes. Shortly after birth.

Chesterton’s fence. One should not remove a fence until one learns why it was erected in the first place. By all means, learn why!

The current administration is causing huge amounts of damage and suffering by blindly removing and eliminating things without understanding why those things were created and maintained.

I don’t want to “probably” be fine. I don’t want to roll a D20 when I eat chicken and I get salmonella if I roll a 1. And why is your chicken so clean anyway that you can get to “probably”? Because of a ton of laws and regulations mandating cleanliness in the processing plants.

Conservatives are measurably dying at slightly higher rates because they have stupid beliefs and believe lies about things like drinking raw milk.
