Critical Thinking: Do Some People See The President/Prime Minister As Some Kind Of Parental Figure?

Before an election takes place, each candidate will do what they can to get people to vote for them; with their intention being to be the next president/prime minster. This is not to say that every candidate has a chance though, as it is not going to be this black and white.
The Favourites
There is a strong chance that one candidate will be the favourite, or it could be between two people. Still, this doesn’t mean that everyone will have this viewpoint; there are likely to be people who believe that this is not the case.
The average person on the street can believe that a certain candidate will win the election; whereas the ‘experts’ on TV can believe that it is going to be someone else. It would then be easy to overlook what this person believes and to go along with what the ‘experts’ have to say.
A Hidden Agenda
However, even though what these people say can be taken as the truth, there can be more to it. What one could find is that the news source that has one candidate down to win is actually supporting them.
It will then seem as though this source is reporting on what is taking place, but they are going to be creating their own news. Through creating ‘fake news’, they will try to influence the outcome.
Psychological Warfare
When the mainstream media takes this approach, it can be seen as way for them to undermine the morale of the people who are voting for another candidate. And it could be said that if someone wants to find out who the globalists want in power, they only need to see which candidate the mainstream media is supporting.
What can also take place is that this can cause one to encourage other people to vote for the candidate who appears to be losing. So instead allowing this to get them down, it can give them the desire to take action.
One Outlook
If one was to vote for someone, it might come down to the fact that they are not too impressed with the other candidates. This could show that they expect too much, or it could be a sign that the candidates on offer leave a lot to be desired.
One could, of course, not even bother to vote, but they could feel the need to play their part. Also, voting for one candidate can be seen as a way to make sure that another candidate doesn’t win.
Another Outlook
At the same time, it could be because they believe this is someone who will change everything for the better. This is then going to be someone who is radically different to the other candidates.
So, no matter what their life is like now, they are going to believe that it will change if this candidate wins the election. There could be other people in their life who also have the same viewpoint.
A Saviour
Consequently, this is not someone who can only do so much; this is someone who has the power to transform their life. In fact, one could believe that the only way their life will change if this person wins the election.
One will have elevated this person to such a high position that it will be as if they are more-than human. This candidate will have all the power and they won’t be able to do anything to change their circumstances.
A Superior Being
One way of looking at this would be to say that one sees this candidate as some kind of god. It is then going to be normal for them to feel inferior to someone who they believe has the power to change their life.
If this candidate wins their life will be fine, but if this doesn’t happen it is going to be hard for them to handle what happens. One could end up feeling depressed (that’s if they don’t already feel this way) and they could have moments when they are filled with rage.
A Closer Look
Another way of looking at this would be to say that one feels like a powerless child, and this is why they have put this candidate on a pedestal. And as they feel this way, it is to be expected that they will see this candidate as an all powerful parent figure.
When one feels this way, it can show that they didn’t receive the kind of care that they needed when they were younger; the trouble is that this time it is unlikely to be any different. Even if this candidate wins the election, it is highly likely that they will be let down all over again.
One Option
For one thing, these candidates rarely do what they say they are going to do, and even if they did, it doesn’t mean that their life would be perfect. Ultimately, if one is not happy with their life, it is up to them to change it.
If one feels powerless and as though they have no control over their life, it doesn’t mean that this is the truth. What it can show is that they have negative beliefs and they could be carrying trauma.
Conclusion
When one feels like a powerless, dependent child, it can show that they were abused and/or neglected during their early years. This would have been a time when they were powerless, but this is not longer the case.
If one can relate to this, and they want to change their life, they may need to reach out for exte
al support. This is something that can be provided by the assistance of a therapist or a healer.

Quit Inflicting “BUT” on Yourself!
While I was waiting for my dance class to start, I watched an instructor patiently coach a couple through what was obviously one of their first lessons. The instructor was having them do a “box step,” which is what it sounds like. A “box” made with your feet. It consists of two parts, a forward half box and a backward half box. Each half box has three steps: a step forward or backward, a step to the side, and a step to close the feet together. The instructor was counting out
