And we know something after a year of this. It will go on. This is not a function of strategy or what we might ordinarily describe as will. It is because this president is so psychologically disordered he cannot behave in any other way. His emotions control his mind; his narcissism overwhelms even basic self-interest, let alone the interest of the country as a whole. He cannot unite the country, even if, somewhere in his fathomless vanity, he wants to. And he cannot stop this manic defense of ego because if he did, his very self would collapse. This is why he lies and why he cannot admit a single one of them. He is psychologically incapable of accepting that he could be wrong and someone else could be right. His impulse - which he cannot control - is simply to assault the person who points out the error, or blame someone else for it. Remember his excruciating pre-election admission that his foul racist lies about Obama’s birthplace originated with Hillary Clinton? That’s as good as you’ll get and it’s the only concession to reality he has made so far. And do not underestimate the stamina of the psychologically unwell. They will exhaust you long before they will ever exhaust themselves. [emphasis added]
And we are being asked to believe that it is Donald Trump and not the despondent person who wrote this who is psychologically unwell. Talk about unhinged, Andrew!
I would love to be a fly on the wall of the offices of psychiatrists in New York, San Francisco, and Washington these days to find out exactly how many Never Trumpers, even a year later, still cannot bring themselves to accept the reality that the Donald defeated Hillary and are reporting grievous psychological distress to their Duty to Warn shrinks as a result of it. "Doc, I feel like I've fallen into an abyss."
All I can say to the author is what I said to David Remnick of The New Yorker last year right after the election: Andrew, it's probably best just to end it all right now.
ROTFLMAO.
