This post is the third in a rapid escalation sequence about AT&T/DirecTV dropping Newsmax, demonstrating classic narcissistic rage cycling. The progression — from measured outrage to demands to eliminationist media rhetoric — follows a predictable intensification pattern. The post's most significant feature is the phrase "FAKE NEWS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO 'STINK UP' OUR AIRWAVES," which constitutes direct anti-press-freedom rhetoric from a former president and active candidate. The cognitive contradiction of defending Newsmax from deplatforming while simultaneously calling for CNN/MSNBC to be cancelled exemplifies immature splitting defense — identical actions are righteous or tyrannical depending solely on ideological alignment. The pronoun shift from "I" (first post) to "WE SHOULD DROP THEM" represents deliberate parasocial recruitment, converting personal narcissistic injury into collective mobilization. The rage intensity (ALL CAPS throughout, three posts in hours) is disproportionate to the trigger, consistent with Kohut's narcissistic rage framework. Danger level is elevated due to authoritarian media suppression rhetoric from a figure with significant mobilization capacity.
