This likely isn't true for everyone but from my point of view this is one of the reasons they would be attracted to Trump in the first place because they naturally recognize another traumatized soul and so through woundology would identify with him by the way he speaks at rallies which is a very blue collar way to speak and generally speaking blue collar people are the most likely to have PTSD traumas in their lives. So, the fact that they identify with Trump makes perfect sense.
But, I don't think this is true of all voters just the more blue collar people who have really been through hell here in the U.S. and through wars overseas.
This makes complete sense to me. It is part of what happens when a country has been at war ongoing now since 2001 and 9-11. The whole country and everyone in it is traumatized from everything.
I can say my whole family including myself was traumatized from just watching 9-11 live on TV on CNN when it happened. This messed everyone up with a national form of PTSD just like Pearl Harbor and World War II did also.
So, in a sense everyone has some version of PTSD from what they have experienced in their lives. It is all a very relative thing for all of us.
