Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday repeated his false claim that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating their neighbors’ pets, using a town hall with undecided Hispanic voters to prop up misinformation that has been rejected by local and statewide leaders from both parties.
I fully believe once this is all over (for better or worse), this will be analyzed as the largest documented case of a narcissistic abusive relationship in history.
There must be tens of millions of MAGA who are basically abused spouses, so psychologically dependant on Trump that nothing short of a brush with literal death, a personal sustained break and intervention, or focused multi-year deprogramming, will snap them out of it. But the scale of it makes it hard to understand.
To paraphrase Eddie Izzard, if you narcissistically abuse one person, maybe you go to prison. Ten people, you go to Texas, they hit you with a brick. Twenty people, they put you in a hospital and look at you through a small window. More, we can’t deal with it. Thirty million people, we’re almost like… Well done! How would you like to be president?
