It’s terrifying, and I have a sinking feeling in my gut I don’t know how to describe. That feeling when something bad is happening, but it’s about to get much worse. Everyday is some new horror. Today the images of the Venezuelans. And Trump saying he was ‘being sarcastic’ when he said he would solve the Ukraine war in a day. Triggering because I have had narcissists in my life for a long time, and the whole ‘I’m not wrong, YOU’RE wrong’ gaslighting tactics used when ever they feel their status might be threatened is very real. It will not stop. Anyone who thinks they can ‘deal with’ or reason with Trump and his inner circle is dead wrong. They must have never had knowledge of this personality type. These people do not have any principles and don’t care about reason. They care only about power.
