Narcissists are vipers. They sense your heat - your wants and needs and emotions - and they use them to exploit you.
Trump found the media’s deepest desire - the attention he brought to them - and he exploited it.
The media is now all but working to ensure Biden loses in 2024.
I remember how chilling I found that interview four years ago.
The scorpion told the frog exactly how it would exploit the frog’s gullibility…
…and the frog just patted itself on the back for landing an interview with the scorpion.
Every time you read the sleazy, undermining coverage of Joe Biden from the Beltway media, remember this thread.
Trump found the media’s vein… and now some of the addicts are busy working to get their supply back… just like Trump literally told the NYT they would.

I think we are getting closer to a collective realization that Trump merely declared in advance he would be the winner and any result to the contrary would be false.
Then a wide network hatched elaborate schemes based on that premise.
Basically, when Trump declared that any negative result would be fraudulent, he activated his entire network of flying monkeys to try to corrupt their parts of the process.
Whether that was state electors, attorneys general, his staff and cronies, conservative media, etc…
Trump signaled that any loss should be wiped out by everything from undermining credibility to wholly cheating.
And then his flying monkeys went off and made myriad attempts ranging from large-scale conspiracies (multistate conspiracies) to local interference.
- people initially speculated someone could only get COVID once
- Trump, et al, downplayed COVID and talked people out of getting vaxed
- so, now, dopes fully believe they can just get it, get over it, and have conquered Mt. COVID.

In reality, we now know:
They will keep getting it again and again over time.
Each case has the potential to be deadly. Each has the potential to do permanent damage to lungs and other organs.
That damage can accumulate over time. (eg lung damage from smoking)

So, the staunch anti-vaxers have now backed themselves into a place where they are nearly certain of getting COVID; are highly likely to get it chronically; and are increasingly likely to be seriously debilitated or killed by it over time.
