(14,302 posts)Of course, he never will, because he knows hell go to jail when he does. (Individual-1)
But we can fan the flames of outrage against him and shame him. Because hell never go, that shame can become a heavy weight around his neck.

(32,017 posts)As I understand it, they feel a lot of shame (as well they should because they are horrible people), but they cant stand the feeling of shame, so they build a defense mechanism that immediately converts shame into anger. Theyre nearly always angry, and that anger expresses itself in vicious, aggressive, bullying, and just flat-out mean behavior. Thats the core of the psyche of a malignant narcissist, I think.

(14,302 posts)we just need to make his supporters ashamed of voting for such an incompetent murderer, and maybe they wont show up.
Public shaming will energize our side and depress theirs, regardless of how Trump reacts. By repeating Resign! we show that we are angry with good reason. We can peel a few Republicans of conscience away, assuming there are any left.

No Japanese leader would ever say I take no responsibility for 190,000 deaths.
