    You need to provide a path for people with NPD to recover, by believing that someone can be healthy, happy, and safe to be around and still have the disability.

    Okay, but you don’t have to provide them a path to be President of a fucking country.

    Providing a path for people with disability to have a healthy happy life does not mean providing a path for a quadraplageic to compete in the pole vault, a pedophile to work in children’s beauty pageants, or a narcissist to be President.

      Trump doesn’t have NPD. The guy who wrote the DSM entry on NPD says so.

          I’m not defending him, I’m defending the innocent disabled people who are attacked as collateral damage when you use ableist slurs. You’re the one who’s attributing Trump’s evil to a mental disorder caused by childhood trauma, instead of attributing it to a choice. I think Trump chose to be evil. You think he has no agency in it. You’re the one who’s downplaying his willful, intentional fascism. I’m saying that he’s entirely to blame for it.

          Suppose someone says “Trump is a f*ggot! The reason he raped all this women is because he’s a perverted godless homo!” If I say Trump’s not gay, am I defending him?
