I'm going to try to explain the parallel between people who have been in narcissistic abuse relationships and pathocratic systems. —> 1/
Some ppl who have experienced narcissistic abuse do not actively work to understand the dynamics of such relationships, which leads to them repeating the cycle in subsequent relationships. 2/
By ignoring their blind spots/ failing to address underlying issues, they inadvertently set themselves up for a continued pattern of abuse, regardless of whether it's covert or overt. 3/
Similarly, in governance, if the ppl fail to recognize/willfuly ignore and don't address the dynamics of pathocracy/psychopathy, we inadvertently pave the way for more of the same. 4/
Psychopaths/narcissists are not going anywhere - in fact, they'll try harder to gain control. So, it's the rest of us in the grey area that need to acknowledge our blind spots & vulnerabilities.

If a/one has a number I can call to ask who can help us with this, that wd be great

It's important to be aware and attentive when a narcissist employs humour as their style of humour tends to involve more mocking others rather than poking fun at themselves.
Pay attention to both the content & tone of their humour, it may reveal their underlying hostility or aggression towards others.
Narcissists can employ humour as a tactic to deflect criticism/accountability or assert power over others by making them feel small or foolish by belittling or ridiculing them.

To those who share my tweets in support of MAGA, I am uncertain why you have chosen to follow me. It is important to note that the person you support is widely regarded as a narcissistic psychopath by mental health professionals, as evidenced by various books and articles.
I suggest that those who support him educate themselves on the concept of collective narcissism, as it may be applicable to their own beliefs. I have included some recommended readings on the topic for your consideration.

Secondary abuse is a term used to describe the additional harm and trauma that results from the failure of others to acknowledge or address abuse. In the case of narcissistic or psychopathic abuse, secondary abuse occurs when friends, family members, or professionals...
minimize or dismiss the experiences of the victim, or when they collude with the abuser to perpetuate the abuse.
It is not uncommon for people who have experienced secondary abuse to feel unsupported, invalidated or angry. Moreover, those who have failed to step in may even have the audacity to question why the victim is avoiding them or appears distant.

Why do bystanders participate in collective betrayal?

According to Dr Freyd betrayal blindness is a survival mechanism that arises “when awareness would threaten necessary relationships.”
In other words, bystanders yield to betrayal blindness in the interest of looking out for themselves and to avoid the loss or pain they might risk if they sympathized with the target.
They assign more value to their relationship with the abuser so it follows that it’s in their best interest to empathize with the narcissist not with the survivor.

1/ Being a member of a narcissistic family and a member of a narcissistic political party share several similarities, including:
2/ Lack of empathy: Both narc families and political parties lack empathy. In a narcissistic family, family members may not show concern or understanding for each other's feelings, while in a narc political party, members may not show empathy for the struggles of the general pop.
3/ Control & manipulation: Narc families & political parties thrive on control & manipulation. In a N family, the head of the family uses emotional or physical abuse to control family members, while in a narc political party, leaders may use propaganda or fear-mongering

I don't use the term "narcissist" as a derogatory name for someone I dislike. Rather, I use it to describe individuals who display common traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder,
such as an inflated sense of self-importance, preoccupation with fantasies of power and success, a belief in their own uniqueness, and a lack of empathy for others.
require excessive admiration, have a sense of entitlement, exploit others for personal gain, be envious of others, and display haughty or arrogant attitudes.
