...the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)- clinically terms psychopathy as Antisocial Personality Disorder. According to the most recent fifth edition of the DSM, a person must meet the following criteria to be clinically diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder:
· A pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others, since age 15 years, as indicated by three (or more) of the following:
· Failure to conform to social norms concerning lawful behaviors, such as performing acts that are grounds for arrest.
· Deceitfulness, repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for pleasure or personal profit.
· Impulsivity or failure to plan.
· Irritability and aggressiveness, often with physical fights or assaults.
· Reckless disregard for the safety of self or others.
· Consistent irresponsibility, failure to sustain consistent work behavior, or honor monetary obligations.

It looks like every Democrat’s resume.
Yep. For a long time they have wanted that.
“1974 was a very bad year.”
The early 70’s was bad for America in many respects. The leftists got a good foothold in many arenas that snowballed into what we have today.
It takes one to know one.
In many ways, a psychopath is a narcissist that is also a sadist.
Per the article at the link you shared:
“In this month’s issue of Personality and Individual Differences, a study was published that confirms what we all suspected: Internet trolls are horrible people.”
👍
“... the associations between sadism and GAIT (Global Assessment of Internet Trolling) scores were so strong that it might be said that online trolls are prototypical everyday sadists.” “
Sussex Squaddies.
Your second link on “gaslighting” describes Democrat’s political strategy. The checklist is on target.
I’m beside myself...laughing at me.
Psychopath is not a psychiatric diagnosis. It has some predictive forensic utility but is not found in the DSM.. Antisocial personality disorder is similar but not the same. Identifying the psychopath is done using the Hare Psychopathy Checklist, which has twenty items.
Rats, I only scored 15./s
No way, I bought my vehicle warranty program from that guy!😁
And I’m a sociopathic psychopath - but I don’t care - and nobody else out there better care either...😠
It sounds like they are referring to TDS
Ironically, online psychopaths are lovers.
So, Democrats.
