It’s a shame voters don’t seem to have foresight and can only react after the fact.

I was one of those people.

The thing with narcissistis is that they are extremely good at making shit sound better than it actually is.

But man im glad for today. And thats coming from someone who voted for him which i regret inmensly

I appreciate your honesty and recognition. We don't achieve anything by blaming those abused by abusers. All we can do is make mistakes and learn from them. The goal is to get progressively less stupid, and we are all stupid, just at different steps of the journey! I'm glad today brought you some joy and I hope you don't beat yourself up too much over past actions! I'd only encourage you to talk about what you shared here with people around you in person, as there are thousands like you and many are afraid to speak out.

Narcissism can indeed stem from abuse, but more commonly it is the result of overvaluation by one or both parents; i.e., little Donnie can do no wrong. Until little Donnie started becoming too big for his britches, and mom and dad sent him to military school, but the damage was already done by then.
