Man. I want to believe that, I really do.

But the man literally led a coup attempt. A shitty, ineffective one, but he tried nonetheless.

Last time Trump was held back by guardrails, people in the administrative government and in his cabinet kept his worst behavior in check.

This time, we're already seeing plans to dismantle all that. Only install loyalists, remove anyone else. As in, literally demoting military higher ups who won't kiss the ring.

I just hope they're still too incompetent to do any irreversible damage. But fuck me, man. It's hard to be hopeful.

narcissists into his cabinet

The great thing about narcissists is they're narcissists: they only care about themselves, they're thin skinned, and they're vindictive.

There is no chance in hell this admin is going to be efficient. One of the things that stands to save the USA is the inevitable infighting of Trump's cabinet and party.

No, you don't want to put narcissists in your cabinet if you're a fascist dictator. Narcissists will covet your position and seek power for themselves. If you're a fascist movement, you can afford to have one narcissist at the top, but everybody on the bottom has to be yes-men. You want the bulk of your movement to be white men who crave a powerful masculine figure to dominate them. You want submissives. That's not where you'll find 99% of narcissists. You'll find 99% of narcissists on the left, saying that they're entitled to more pay and fewer hours. You'll find 99% of narcissists refusing to be dominated by other people and fighting for equality. You'll find 99% of narcissists trying to make the world a better place.
