Amazing Scaramucci Realization

[Leo Gura]

I was amazed by this interview because in it Scaramucci (a stage Blue/Orange Wall Street guy) finally realizes Trump's stage Red nature. And finally he turns on Trump.

The key moment happens right at the 0:30 mark. He realizes that Trump is not evolved enough to be genuinely racist because he's too much of a stage Red opportunist.

It's the most amazing back-handed compliment I've ever heard, LOL:

A great lesson in psychology and Spiral Dynamics.

It's also very revealing that Scaramucci saw Trump's opportunism in the flesh, but it never bothered him until now. Which is exactly right. Stage Orange itself tends to be opportunistic without much remorse or foresight of the problems that such unchecked opportunism leads to.

See, the problem with putting a shameless opportunist into office is that he won't hesitate to start a war if it helps him get reelected. The more cornered such a person becomes, the more dangerous he becomes because his only concern is his own survival.

If Trump goes down, he will take the entire ship with him.

An amazing example of a blue/orange perspective on red. What struck me was when he paused to contextualize Trump’s racism and said “Trump is racist against everyone. He is below racism”. That is a beautiful realization that Trump is below blue-level racism - down into red level opportunism.

What are you implying Leo? Trump's going to start a war with Iran? Trump's going to start a nuclear holocaust? If so, what do we do about this?

No, I'm not implying anything per se. I'm just assessing Trump's mind. He has the type of mind that will take down the ship with it if it goes down.

I don't foresee a nuclear holocaust. But some phony war is within the realm of possibility.

And more importantly he is going to wage a battle domestically this coming election cycle. It's gonna get nastier and dirtier than ever as his chances of reelection shrink. He will rally and whip up his base into an ideological frenzy. There will be even more conspiracy theories, demonization of decent people, and probably some degree of violence as things get desperate for Trump's base and they start to lash out.

What you have to understand about Trump's base is that they're all-in. They will never admit defeat or any wrong-doing -- because it will be too ugly for them to admit. So they will double-down and scapegoat someone else -- like immigrants, Muslims, socialists, women, or whoever. As the failures of the Trump admin keep getting worse, the scapegoating will keep getting worse.

The Trump phenomenon is like a giant swollen pimple that needs to burst. How bad it gets is hard to say. We have to be careful, but also don't get overly pessimistic. This is all part of the nation's growth process. It is all necessary to evolve to the next level. Just be careful not to get caught up in the eruption.

This is true. The way this works is that the narcissist's lies and dogma become a part of the narcissist's ego identity, as well as that of his supporters. To face the truth of the lies would require ego suicide at this point. They won't face that until they're forced to.

@Leo Gura I think this is a good perspective. Don't get caught in the eruption.

For interest's sake, Leo, why do you not foresee a nuclear holocaust?

Overall I feel mankind is too selfish to kill itself.

I could be wrong.

I think if you think about it logically, the response to a nuclear weapon is not another nuclear weapon of mass destruction. You would have a revolt, by your own people- against it. 

Rather you would want to make that decision prosecuted. Namely, by death as the only retribution. 

But the fear still lurks that there could be a possibility of it happening and so it’s even less likely. Why do stand offs end up in negotiations ? Because when power is balanced, negotiations must be fair. 

@Leo Gura that comment was uncanny on so many levels. Never heard someone say that ever.

I can also see other stuff here like the rich and establishment guys are scare of trump because he did not follow their rules and bullshit. It exposes them. Remember RED and ORANGE are brothers.
