The greatest danger of narcissistic psychopaths like Trump is the all encompassing inability of humans to envisage a person with no conscience.
Like trying to comprehend infinity or the size of the cosmos, humans have difficulty relating to something outside their normal realm of daily existence.
It is shocking that there are people that can perform heinous acts and then have the power to override the reality of what they have done not only without remorse but like it never happened. At the same time their evil behavior is the result of rational, free choice.
Many of these psychopaths exist just at a sub-criminal threshold. They use their uncanny manipulative emotional & psychological abuse, and their indifference to norms, ethics, rules & laws to run purposely and exploitively over the rights of other people without guilt or remorse.
Other white collar psychopaths can often be pillars of the community until their manipulations fail to cover for their exploitive behaviors. They are Weinstein, Nassar, and Cosby.
These cases exemplify the power of the psychopath’s ability to use psychological manipulation, intimidation and fear of retribution to command silence and hide their crimes and indecency for decades.
It is no different for Trump except now he has a political party & a foreign country exploiting his psychopathology for gain. All these players are using the same psychological abuse methods of any psychopath, to cover up the massive exploitation of a free election in a democracy
The average citizen, even those who haven’t been brainwashed by the propaganda of right media, still has very little ability to conceptualize the cunning, deliberate evil of Trump. Few can conceive of the white collar psychopath’s inhumanity until it happens to them.
Everyone must accept that no matter how much irrefutable evidence there is of the psychopath’s wrongdoing, many amongst his flying monkey enablers will refuse to see the psychopath for who they are. The same goes for Trump’s supporters.
By the time the psychopath’s unconscionable, deplorable behavior is uncovered, the damage done is irreparable or recovery from the devastation is long and painful. Like war or death of a child, it is outside the realm of normal human existence. Their abuse causes PTSD.
Any survivor of narcissistic or psychopathic abuse will tell you they wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone. Narcissistic psychopaths are revealed as alien beings in human shells that have none of the emotional circuitry that makes a person “human.”
Regardless of the type of abuse, the recovery is long and painful because no one expects to experience or uncover the ultimate deceit: humans exist who aren’t human but pretend to be so. This is the revelation of having a run in with a conscienceless & exploitive psychopath.
It will be no different for the US. If the democracy survives, the recovery will be messy, long and extremely painful. On the positive side, the indecent will be removed, there will be more awareness of psychopathy and the country will come out stronger on the other side.
