i was kinda fascinated with narcissism for a while so i did some psych lit reading (not trained in psych, just interested), and tbh the fragility of the american honky looks a lot like narcissism to me. the same deep cognitive dissonance, delusion, vulnerable grandiosity, and other shit they talk about with narcissism. i get the same "child in an adult's body" feeling i get when i watch clips of narcissists freaking out.
