he is a “sociopath”. I grew up with a half-sister who is a sociopath. There is NO moral compass, no guilt, remorse... My sister enjoys scheming ways to cause others to squabble (sadistic). They are CONSTANT liars. They simply cannot tell the truth! Whatever she tells you, you can bet that it is NOT 100% true. There is usually, but NOT always, some element of truth in what she is saying. But! There is ALWAYS a mixture of exaggeration, omittance, twisting, fabrication... Sometimes, it is clear what she is up to, but other times it’s somewhat puzzling. My siblings and I have broken off all contact with her, because it’s the ONLY choice she gives you... to be her “victim” or not!
I absolutely agree with your assessment. In fact, post-Reagan, the pattern has been that the Democrat presidential nominees have been a succession of increasingly sociopathic personalities, with the arguable exception of Obama, whose advancement was driven largely by the racial component and who became a Marxist speed bump to the overall Dem machine’s advancement, actually altering the direction slightly due to the BLM element.
