Overdetermination in Psychoanalysis
- Psychoanalysis helps us understand overdetermined phenomena.
- These phenomena have multiple causes and interpretations, like Trump's rhetoric.

- Individuals are not solely rational and contain multitudes, not a singular self.
- Identity is formed through relationships, especially early ones, influencing our sense of normalcy.
Authority and Identification
- Our understanding of authority and normalcy stems from personal experiences, not abstract concepts.
- This shapes political mobilization and seemingly irrational actions.
