We can recognize that somebody was a victim as a child, and recognize that may be the reason they are a danger today, but if they are untreated, and if you personally aren't a doctor, you are likelier to be their victim than the other way around.
Something very strange just happened. I gave a long comment with three different reasons why pwNPD are vulnerable and aren't abusers, and I elaborated on each of them. But then you just restated your belief, without including any arguments or sources. You didn't even try to discredit my arguments. If you can't give any reasons people should believe pwNPD are abusers, I think one could be forgiven for thinking there's no good reason to believe your statement.
Nothing strange happened. You attempted sophistry in defense of a person who chooses right wing demagoguery which people may correctly or incorrectly diagnose as a consequence of having a personality disorder and you did so knowing full well we are in a climate where people are tired of right demagoguery. If, as you say, you are interested in scientific veracity and focus on dispassionate reasoned discussion how can you also not understand that sticking your dick in a live toaster will get you burned?
I didn't defend him. I called him an asshole and said he isn't a member of a vulnerable minority. You need to work on your reading comprehension.
