In reply to the discussion: She used to be my best friend....and then she drank the Kool Aid. [View all]MadameButterfly
(4,342 posts)57. Dr. Bandy Lee talks about malignant narcissism being contagious
and how that is particularly dangerous in a public figure where so many are exposed.
It seems strange, but also explains so many people acting like Trump when, by comparison, Republicans held Nixon in check.
It sounds like your friend has succumbed to the exposure.
In Dr. Lee's experience, when the orginial malignant narcissist is removed, the people in his orbit go back to normal.
She has you tubes you can look up if interested.
Thanks for the detailed description. For those of us who haven't seen the transformation first hand and are pretty mystified.

Fox News and the rest of the right wing media brings this about. They all end up with the same unshakeable belief
