Day 2
AMERICA IN CRISIS: THE LEGACY OF LIES by George Hagman, LCSW and Harry Paul, Ph.D.
The promotion of lies to gain and maintain power has become a core strategy in American politics for several generations. Since the election of Donald Trump in 2016, lies both big and small have become ubiquitous, especially with the proliferation of social media and cable news. The nature of these lies and their function in the creation of a delusional bond between President Trump and his base of followers will be reviewed in this presentation. In particular the speakers will discuss Trump’s use of gaslighting during the Covid Pandemic, as well as the promotion of the Big Lie of Trump’s election victory in the 2020 election. The fateful explosion of rage resulting from the collision of these lies with the reality of Trump’s defeat, which occurred during the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capital, has scarred the nation. The speakers will discuss the legacy of these lies for American society during the Biden administration and beyond. In particular they will demonstrate how the cancerous, cryptopsychotic process which underlay Trump’s bond with his supporters continues to metastasize throughout the social fabric and body politic with possibly dire results.
