Ever since 2016 we've endured him in spite of his easily verifiable destructive behaviors. Really easily identifiable for involuntary holds (5150 & 5250 and beyond). Hope light will be shed on why these haven't been put in place.
As a result, at least in substantial part, I take a psychotherapeutic view of the efficacy of corporate and government leadership. However, for me, my perspective is largely informed by beliefs, and my experiential knowledge, about my own emotional maturity, and, as a result, of other’s as well.
I believe personal authenticity is, in each of us, in dynamic conflict with our attachments in the world. That is, both “they won’t hear it if you can’t say it,” and “you won’t say it if the can’t hear it” are in dynamic social play. In other words, I cannot be fully myself unless I have the hardiness, or emotional resilience, to be largely myself notwithstanding the “slings and arrows” of others. Likewise, if I/we cannot listen to opinions we are unsupportive of, people will cease to express what has become unpopular.
Emotional empathy and resilience are the sine qua non of adulthood, or emotional maturity, despite our seeming emphasis on the DSM to determine what is “mental health,” i.e., mental health is more ubiquitously emotional than mental in the sense that our capacity for critical thinking is more undone by our adolescent immaturity than by our, for example, incidence of “character disorders!”
Finally, I believe we will never get the adult leadership democracies need unless we lift our game; our own emotional maturities. The mental health of the electorate, its capacity to be responsible, vigilant citizens with adult predispositions towards others with whom they disagree will determine who rises to become our leaders. Will we elect to public office, or put on the BOD the “best” from among our number, or will we succumb to the worst from amongst our population.
We will vote for “control freak” authoritarians, or those who believe in your right to be freely yourself, assuming you are fully socially responsible, i.e., not sociopathic? Are “we” in good mental health?

Looking forward an informative discussion.
Looking forward to sane talk about political realities.
