In Part I of Start Making Sense, it was noted that after fiercely advocating for far more use of Counter-Narcissist methods against trump and his party of flying monkeys since 2015 and losing the American government to such an obvious narcissist is a still sore subject, because more aggressive attacks along psychological lines could have won the election.
Also noted was Team Harris did solid work across several psychological levels, which tells us the end result was not on her. In fact, all things considered she ran one of the best campaigns ever seen and would have coasted to victory in normal times, but we do not live in normal times. We live in an era where far too many malignant narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths have inherited and/or attained great wealth and are using it to take over the world.
Indeed this supposed “loss” was far more about narcissist billionaires compulsively and greedily working for decades to capture, rig and corrupt a political system, media and society so they can play the god-kings they need to tell themselves they are to survive psychologically, than it was anything Biden or Harris did or did not do.
This means that while it can be asserted that using more Counter-Narcissism could have pulled a rabbit out of a hat, with all the levels of corrupted billionaire influence over the decades, there was certainly no guarantee that a more aggressive use of CNI would have been enough this time.
The sooner civil society understands how lies and dark psychology got us to this point, the sooner those mentally capable will realize that they need to support missions that use light side reverse psychology to get us out of this mess. If you agree, please help fund CNI if you are able.
How it happened overview
How it happened was the pillars of our society were bought and captured to keep the people blind to the behaviors and machinations of dangerously disordered personality types often mistakenly identified as selfish a-holes.
The end result being they captured the foundations of democracy, kept them from honestly informing the public, and fulfilling their purpose of protecting democracy and the vulnerable from the lies and gaslighting that will destroy us all.
Obviously, with the election of a rogue’s gallery of narcissistic weirdos, we are now so much closer to self-destruction than we would be on a wiser Earth in the multiverse. Indeed with so many falling for such stupid and obvious lies, we are rapidly approaching a tipping point where the movie Idiocracy will go from being a farcical warning of the future to a modern-day documentary.
It has been the CNI conclusion for over a decade that most pillars of Earth’s societies are psychologically blind. That’s what I saw with my friend’s situation, in virtually every case I studied, what I later recognized in myself, and in almost every societal example I have seen ever since.
I am very sad to say America “electing” a cabal of malignant types of narcissists proves the point pretty conclusively. This is the vacuum that CNI is driven to help fill and why anyone able to support the effort should be proud they are putting out resources to counter this obviously fatal flaw across all levels of human civilization.
Ever since my personal narcissistic enlightenment period in the late 2000s, it has been impossible to get past the insanity of how the existential knowledge of humanity’s dark side has been so educationally and intellectually absent from the foundations of civil society, in seemingly every country on Earth. That is how we know at least a decent portion of society’s psychological ignorance is purposeful.
To make matters so much worse, it quickly became obvious during my studies that all levels of our legal system (police, judges, lawyers, prosecutors), as well as our political, media, educational and business systems, and the vast majority of the population are blind to the simple fact that an abundance of specific traits, tells and behaviors in an accused abuser reveals that the odds are extremely high that they have a selfish and dangerous compulsive disorder, that will only be contained with firm barriers of law, order and/or punishment. Just like most children, narcissists will keep pushing until stopped.
The near complete societal blindness is part of why so many survivor stories sound the same. So many share how once they realized that they fell prey to one of these pathological manipulators, they tried to get help from the law.
Sadly, the law lets almost everyone down because malignant-type narcissists are such shameless and practiced liars that the legal system is mostly blind to their more covert toxic behaviors. Thus the law often provides no justice for victims and far too often lets narcissist abusers “get away with it.” There is no greater example of this than trump.
It was truly stunning to discover that there were very specific scientifically established psychological disorders that explained how and why so many can confidently and believably blame everything horrible they do on their victims. How triggering it is that they can play the victim to a level where they often can initially convince legal systems, political arenas, businesses and societies that they are not the real lying abuser.
The main way they accomplish this insanity is by demonizing those they victimize with quiet whispers and “big lies.” Just think how easy it would be to trigger and spin your normal human outrage into sounding like “the crazy one” if you were viciously lied about by someone who “lies like breathing.” This toxic truth triggering is how many good people are made to appear like “the bad guy” in public.
Once science revealed almost everything I thought I knew about narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths was wrong, I was continuously shocked by how virtually none of society knew there were these very predictable and virtually incurable narcissistic disorders that provided clear and logical answers to most inexplicable areas of human darkness.
Cheat code: Whenever you hear someone say, “How could any human do that,” the odds are very high that it was someone from the malignant narcissist, sociopath and psychopath-type variety of humans, because these are normally people with little to no conscience.
Think about it. How would you behave differently towards other people if you had no conscience, emotional empathy or remorse in your being? For people with these personality disorders, other humans including their families and children are just a means to an end.
Despite appearances, they see all other humans as just things they can use to help get them what they crave and/or to maintain the illusion of being a normal person, instead of the disordered and heartless greed monster they truly are inside.
To paraphrase James Carville, “It’s the psychology, stupid.” Society must learn before it is too late that people with these disorders and/or brain deformities will never stop their abuses until stopped.
Why should they? They have no conscience to get in the way of lying about what they are doing, hurting others makes these small people feel big, and they see other humans as mere objects and tools to be used. Sadly, this is the nature of those without conscience.
Of course the only “great” a narcissist is ever interested in is their own, so whenever you hear one say they are going to make something “great,” the real meaning behind these words is great for themselves, and those who pay them, or to save their own asses. That is why 99.99% of the time these are the people who are the worst virtue signalers. Indeed they must sell the lies about who they are and pretend to be so they can get away with their immoral behavior.
With every passing day since my enlightenment, there have been multiple occasions where experts in the media reveal in what they say, that they are just as ignorant about Cluster B personality disorders as I was before years of study. To be fair, the psychology is elusive for both abstract and seemingly often purposeful reasons but our societal ignorance needs to be corrected if we are going to save ourselves from this oncoming extinction level meteor.
Indeed like the better known term “pathological liar”, these are people who are maladaptively wired through their brains, genes and/or trauma to compulsively only do what is best for them, while claiming they are doing what’s best for those they prey on, victimize or will suffer the consequences of their actions. It would also seem to be the case that all pathological narcissists are pathological liars by definition.
Conclusions
If the situation wasn’t so horrific, it would almost be comical how narcissist psychology tosses aside almost every reason given by the best intentioned journalists, experts, and analysts as to why the excellent Kamala Harris “lost” to a 78-year-old grandiose narcissist who lied about virtually everything, while showing seemingly obvious signs of dementia.
Here at CNI, one of our main missions is to make the shrouded and abstract narcissist psychology more accessible. Indeed the philosophy informs us that any reason given that Kamala did or didn’t do anything that cost her the election or that her loss was part of “a global incumbent backlash” is ridiculous, error-filled analysis. Know that this right-wing coup was decades in the psychological making.
Many questions asked such as, “What now?” and “How Can We Move Forward?” and the answers given are disturbing for the same reason. They reveal that the political people asking these types of questions have little to no counter-narcissist-type understanding or answers.
This means American democracy will continue to struggle to make real progress until they come to terms with the fact that nearly every political problem they have requires a psychological answer to truly fix it. Let us hope they figure it out, before it is too late.
As we go down this dark path together, CNI will remain a force for light and life by continuing to use our resources to provide clear analysis that can be counted on by our readers as logical, commonsensical, strategic and/or solutional answers to what is going on beneath the surface, for individuals, communities, groups, businesses, and every pro-social society in the world who needs it.
In the meantime, we will start making sense of what is really going on from a psychological perspective by exhibiting how only the wisest and most thoughtful postmortems are useful, and are anything more than unhelpful subsets of the narcissist psychology we focus on at CNI.
If we want to win this global war for the soul of humanity, it must be fought on a wide variety of psychological levels, because that is where our elections have been targeted for decades, and may be lost for good soon. Indeed the most simple, basic, logical and true answers to what happened and how we solve it are, “It’s the psychology, stupid.”

Indeed this supposed “loss” was far more about narcissist billionaires compulsively and greedily working for decades to capture, rig and corrupt a political system, media and society so they can play the god-kings they need to tell themselves they are to survive psychologically, than it was anything Biden or Harris did or did not do.**
THIS--thank you!
Outstanding. This is "hard work" but it's good work, Sam.
I don't envy your position, having to analyze this awful period in our country's history, but thank you for doing it. I'm beyond exhausted so have to rely on folks like you with the bandwidth to carry on and try and make it make sense. Thank you!
