A funny thing about narcissists:

They have a knack for getting people to do their dirty work while knowing it’s wrong.

Those people operate under the cover of the narc’s blessing.

That messed up dynamic collapses when they face personal accountability.

When you separate these “flying monkeys” from the narc’s bubble and hold them personally accountable, the whole thing falls apart.

Here, it was just a general refusal to take ownership of yanking Acosta’s hard pass.

The phenomenon is important though and it is about to get VERY important.

Narcs hold people under a spell of sorts. They lull people into happily going allowing with wholly wrongful things...

...until the spotlight turns toward them and they alone are accountable.

So far, Mueller’s cases have all been pretty far downstream of the Trump White House.

We’re about to crest the hill though.

The next set of indictments will specifically focus on members of Trump’s inner circle and their actions in and out of the White House.

The closest proxy we’ve seen is Michael Cohen but we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Trump’s protective circle is about to fracture and then completely collapse as accountability hits individuals.

The pace of the collapse will surprise people. It’ll be dizzying. It’s coming.

I’m not doing this justice but the point is, people who were once total henchmen for a narc often have a startling awakening once they realize how bad the narc is and how much they’ve done wrong to help them.

It’s like coming out of hypnosis.

It’s crazy to watch.

I’ve had people who were once my narc’s most willing helpers come up to me out of the blue years later to disburden themselves of a deep guilt they’ve carried around since “snapping out of it”.

I was like “Uh, okay. Cool. Glad you now know that was bad, I guess.”
