I'm not confused at all. I'm a very empathetic person and care a lot about people, it's one of the many reasons I speak up when I see things like this happening. I was also raised by a convert narcissist and have experienced (and fortunately, overcome) the exact behavior being used to manipulate the population. It was used to manipulate me in the exact same way. Deny reality all you want but none of what's happening right now is good.
