Sociopaths are masters at influence and deception. Very little of what they say actually checks out in terms of facts or reality, but they're extremely skillful at making the things they say sound believable, even if they're just making them up out of thin air.

Wow, it would seem we have a fairly large number of these individuals in the public sphere. I can think of more than one who are involved in railroading a neighborhood watchman for personal gain.

They certainly have a large group of people who follow them blindly.

I should have qualified the term as -functioning sociopaths-.
Those smart enough to pass as normal most of the time to most people.

Oh, man ... the clutches of a true conniving sociopath. My prayers are with you. I've only ever had to contend with -- and it's enough -- of the garden variety narcissist who upends everyone's life with drama and calculated lies to pit family/friends against each other.

Prayer is pretty powerful. I'll join you. God bless.

How sad.

My Godson is being raised by such a “mother.” She slung false charges against Daddy until an investigation gave her full control, then put the boy on prescribed psychotropics & set about robbing him of his childhood. At six, he’s now spent half his life being told he’s so bad he needs fixing with drugs & it’s all the fault of a Daddy he hasn’t seen in all that time.

But you are here posting and seem to’ve survived - painfully, but with sanity intact and knowing to keep your poisonous father at a distance. I grieve with you, but in the knowledge that my Godson is only beginning a hard, hard life.

The thing about falling under the spell of a sociopath is the artificial boost to the self esteem which accompanies any recognition from the sociopath, as if the duped are being blessed by their object of adoration. Such is the hold of evil frauds like Barack Obama and his adoring black and leftist population. They cannot comprehend that what they adore and from whom they receive such ‘blessings’ is actually their mortal enemy of their soul, lusting to control them and thus destroy their freedoms.

Thank you. Believe me, I will if I ever get the opportunity. Been dreaming of it for years now. How his father and I grieve for what’s being done to this precious child born with so much potential...
