IMHO, Liberalism is a spiritual and mental disorder.
I think there needs to be additional studies done on why certain people are so easily "scammed" by the snakes of the world and blindly follow them at their own peril and that of their friends and families.
Short answer= Yes
Long answer= Yes
Always have run the world.............
Just a sign of the “end” times.
Yeah, because everyone knows there are no psychos in the GOP.

More reflection and envy. Reflection of bad traits, that they know they have. Envy of their targets.
The answer is Yes and anyone who is aware of their methods and pathologies realizes it when they see it.
There are tests for psychopathy and they should be used as gating tests for employment in government and corporations. The PCL-R is one of them although there are others.
The Clintons are clearly violent psychopaths who meet the “cunning, devious” description as well.
They belong in institutions, not the White House.

A simple brain scan finds if someone is a sociopath or not. You will see a dark spot in the pre frontal cortex. Maybe make it a requirement to get certain jobs and political positions.
I have been saying this for years. I don’t know about the corporate world, but in the government sector, definitely.
The typical liberal defines goodness as something that somebody must comply or die to keep.
Be not of this world
Most of the Caesars were psychopaths.
Most of the royal dynasties throughout Europe’s history were as well.
Stalin, Mao, Pol pot, NK Kim Family, Latin American dictatorships, all are psychopaths................

the short answer is “yes” ... the long answer is that they always have ... (though i prefer the newer term “sociopath” to the obsolete term “psychopath”, though they mean the same thing)
Every democrat in the senate is a psychopath berift of empathy. They would not want some political operative to come out of the woodwork to accuse them of something unprovable that happened 20 years ago, yet that’s what they knowingly did to Brett Cavanaugh. These people have sold their souls a long time ago.
This sounds like a rehash of the book The Psychopath Test. It’s an interesting book that says that many people at the top of organizations are psychopaths and those traits helped them get there. There’s a lot of valid criticism of the book, but it was mainly successful because it gave those of us who aren’t Number One a reason to believe that these leaders are somehow less human than us and not to be trusted. It’s a form of social jealousy and hate of success that fits in particularly well with Dim politics although it seems a lot of Dim pols fit the bill themselves.
I think it’s highly probable that concentrations of socio-economic power would be very attractive to high-functioning sociopaths. All the other states should thank Virginia and Maryland for absorbing a much higher % of the sociopathic detritus of America that was drawn to the Fed state and support structure over the decades.

Sociopaths, actually, not psychopaths.
I doubt it. The range of normal behavior is pretty wide. You don’t have to be sick to be a dick. Successful leaders are usually different from most people, without being diagnosable as disturbed.
Don’t forget “higher” education!
Yes.. For at least the last 70 yrs.
