The psychodynamics of narcissistic injury and rage have been studied for over a hundred years. Narcissism involves a grandiose and unrealistic self-image of personal perfection, brilliance, exaggerated admirableness, or special ability or powers. This ongoing condition involves a defense mechanism of self-delusion, which is unstable and becomes deranged when confronted by reality.
A psychological complex called the narcissistic injury, or mortification, arises from a blow to that unbalanced sense of self-worth. The blow exposes the gap between the narcissistic ideal and the actualities of the narcissist's condition. Narcissistic injury provokes an uncontrollable desire for revenge against the individual who is perceived as unmasking the narcissist's untethered self-worth.
Narcissistic rage cannot energize rational discourse. It takes the form of a personal, obsessive, burning hatred toward the person perceived as challenging the narcissistic delusion. Narcissistic rage is an effort to rebuild the false self-image and restore a sense of power through an attack against the threatening individual.
Psychology distinguishes between the venomous spewings of narcissistic rage and the justified stance of mature aggression. Several major right-wing pundits are maturely questioning and disagreeing with Donald Trump's positions. But Trump's independence in speaking truths about what the American people can do when they set their minds to something has unleashed narcissistic rage from the firmament of failed Republican candidates and insular, irrelevant right-wing punditry. Prior to the Trump temblor, the right-wing establishment maintained power despite consistently avoiding the battles they promise to join, selling out ideals, and betraying voters. The elites developed a narcissistic character structure of self-aggrandizement untroubled by the reality of their consistent failure. They are now spewing personal vilification against Trump, which they have never directed against Obama or Hillary, because Trump exposes what they unconsciously perceive to be their own deficiencies.

“The elites developed a narcissistic character structure of self-aggrandizement untroubled by the reality of their consistent failure.”
I read that sentence and Linda Grahamnesty hugging Mittens comes to mind.
Boy does this describe a lot of things written here.
IF YOU DONT VOTE MY CANDIDATE ...IM GOING TO VOTE HILLARY BECAUSE YOU HURT MY FEELINGS!!!
It sure does.

Whatever the future holds, Trump is awakening the self-respect of Americans from a concussive coma. For sixty years, the elites have been safely bunkered in narcissistic delusions while the majority of Americans have been bombarded with the big lies about being racists with no right to defend their country.
Debbie Taylor knows her stuff... Great post.
“They are now spewing personal vilification against Trump, which they have never directed against Obama or Hillary, because Trump exposes what they unconsciously perceive to be their own deficiencies.”
