The Narcissistic Racism Trap how it works in practice

 The narcissistic racism trap is a psychological and political cycle where the state protects its power by reframing civil rights progress as a threat to national identity. This environment is characterized by the erosion of legal protections, the dismissal of accountability, and an increasing public indifference toward institutional decay. These shifts mirror historical patterns of democratic degradation, where the normalization of aggressive enforcement and the rollback of equity-focused policies create a climate of instability.
