It is often said that Washington, DC is filled with a bunch of nerds dominated by psychopaths. Others say that politics is simply Hollywood for ugly people. These are usually said in a joking manner and often uttered after coming back from a young professional happy hour here in the swamp. Perhaps the most soulless congregation of folks ever assembled can be found at those kind of events.
A report conducted by Ryan Murphy at Southern Methodist University found that Connecticut contained the most psychopaths per capita followed quickly by California. New Jersey and New York followed next. But our nation's capital by far had the highest level of psychopathic behavior than anywhere in the country.
As Newsmax notes, Added in the study was Washington, D.C., which had a psychopathy level far higher' than any state, according to the report albeit because it is a small, entirely urban area and not as geographically diverse as a state. "The presence of psychopaths in District of Columbia is consistent with the conjecture found in Murphy [2016] that psychopaths are likely to be effective in the political sphere," Murphy concluded in his study.

Strange answers to the psychopath test | Jon Ronson
Another good reason to burn the SOB to the ground and for Texas to get the hell out.
Just ignore them, it drives them crazy.
Glad I kept reading the thread before commenting. I live in Illinois, I'm not so sure Chicago comes in a close second. After all, that's where the former President honed his craft and brought it to Washington D.C. to "transform" it.
You know, Illinois gets a bad rap. If one were to cut out Chicago, kick it into the middle of Lake Michigan, let it sink and shot any survivors who made it back to shore, this would actually be a red state and a very nice place to live, except in winter, of course.
Just sayin'...
Therein lies the problem. The United States does not need, nor has it ever needed, politicians. We need people to take a short time off from their lives to work for us then go back to their families, friends, and businesses.
For the first time in my life we have that in President Trump, but the rest of Washington DC is infested with politicians who are now confirmed to be the psychopaths we knew them to be.
The biggest reason most everyone in both parties hates President Trump is he is proof that even the greatest country in the history of the world does not need career politicians, and that they actually destroy our country with their greed and lust for power.
I almost hate looking at that building anymore.
The good news is that not all of them are still working for the government.
Come on! Even in public school the writer should have learned the proper use of "than." It does not replace "of" and doesn't make the writer look smarter.
had the highest level of psychopathic behavior of anywhere in the country. Even that is sleazy though not wrong. Try-
had a higher level of psychopathic behavior than anywhere else in the country.
...”My guess is that sociopaths outnumber the psychopaths, especially in the upper echelons.”...
Yes. “The Sociopath Next Door,” by Martha Stout, reveals how prevalent sociopaths are in high level positions in this country. In fact, they seem to be represented quite a lot in the political and corporate world. I would guess that academia also has it’s share. It actually makes sense in a perverted sort of way that large institutions would want a mean, ruthless person to rule because of the “win at all costs,” nature of our society, here in the 21st century. Just look at our FBI, once the most trusted organization in our government. Religion also has been shown to have too many “Elmer Gantry’s” among it’s pastors and priests. At the moment, if I were judging, I would choose the leftist American media, both news and entertainment, as the most psychopathic and sociopathic of organizations in our society. We are at risk when this kind of mental aberration is at the top of our ruling classes. In my view, President Trump is the stable one because he is trying to fight back against all of the worst traits of psychopathology which has ruled in politics for ever so long. Loved this report. It is the kind of information we need to have.
I wonder how closely a psycho map matches this blue and red counties map in the last presidential elections.

Strange answers to the psychopath test
Jon Ronson
I was at a friends house .. and she had on her shelf the Manual of Mental Disorders .. it lists every known mental disorder it used to be back in the 50s a very slim pamphlet, then it got bigger and bigger and bigger .. And now its 886 pages long. It lists currently 374 mental disorders
This video is hilarious, brilliant, and yet very sad.

Of course, they dream of seizing control of the USA with its vast wealth and power. In the past, they could only dream of it because the USA was far too healthy for any such coup d'état to succeed; however, as America sinks deeper and deeper into the depths of decadence, their dreams become more and more possible. Some will attempt. Some already have.
If they succeed in seizing control of the USA, the results will be horrifying.

Isn’t that a prerequisite to run for congress?
What a Dump!
“Psychopaths/sociopaths in D.C. What a surprise”.’’’’
What’s so surprising? Been on this earth for over 80 years and knew that when I was back in middle school (called junior high back then) .
And transexuals too.
http://reason.com/blog/2016/07/05/estimate-of-us-transgender-population
“In individual states, transgender population estimates range from 0.3 percent (North Dakota) to 0.78 percent (Hawaii). For the District of Columbia, it’s a whopping 2.8 percent.
Other states with estimated trans populations more than 0.10 points higher than the national average include California (0.76 percent), Georgia (0.75 percent), and New Mexico (0.75 percent). States with less than 0.4 percent included Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming.”
