56. I'm blessedly ignorant of tactics for dealing with a malignant narcissist
Mon Jan 19, 2026, 03:07 PM
Yesterday

but I think people forget that the "fight or flight" reflex is actually "fight, flight, freeze or fawn". Machado (like WAY too many others) has essentially chosen "fawn" in an attempt to appease the Narcissist with Nukes.

The Diapered Despot is too stupid to realize that possession of the prize medal does NOT make one the winner of the prize. It only makes him the ahole who bullied the Prize winner into giving him her symbolic trinket.
