The worst thing you can do to a narcissist is to hold a mirror to their face; that’s why they prefer to focus on the exterior. The exterior is a façade, and all façades crumble despite one’s efforts.

@TheAtlantic @shadihamid It’s not as simple or generalized as that. Trump has been able to effectively tap into some very deep motivations within his base. That’s a primary reason why they’re not budging. It’s not that Dems haven’t been running a standard campaign. In standard times their MO would be 1/2

I don’t understand the whole “I got mine eff you” thing. No one is responsible for the fact of their own being, or for any of the contexts/conditions in which their being was manifest. We should want to reduce sufferings and cheer for everyone to succeed.
