I'm not sure she's a psychopath but give her time as head of state and I suspect we'll see those feature emerge. From what I've seen, she's a protected puppet going through the motions. An empty shell doing her puppeteer's bidding. She says nothing substantive nor does she seem to care, smirking at the camera.
Yesterday,, a contractor I hired (legal immigrant from Mexico who's been in America for 35 years) told me he is planning on moving his family back to Mexico because he's worried about the future for his children here. He sees the deterioration in our government, the rise of psychopaths in leadership positions, the increase in crime and lawlessness. He hopes Trump wins the election but doesn't believe that will change the overarching direction of America's decline.
I was flabbergasted when he told me that. Even immigrants can see decay. We're in the middle of the Fourth Turing.

All American politicians are psychopaths. Day by day they allow the country to be invaded. If not the worthless politicians, who should be going to the border armed, protecting the citizens of this country? What else do they do to deserve their overpaid salaries and the money they grift under the table. I see fake hearings about the murdering global plot of convid, poisoning of citizens through and by rx companies. The day to day poisonings by air, chemtrails, food and water. The psychopaths are running the assylum! Recall all of them, sieze their assets and then lock them up. Some, many are such egregious traitors, worthy of hanging.
I see you've put a lot of thought into this, but IMO maybe too much thought.
Personally, I don't see her as pathological. Listening to her, I come away with the conclusion she is just stupid and avaricious.
I think she is just intelligent enough to feel insignificant and insecure around smart people, which is why she acts the tyrant towards her underlings.
She is like the coward that struts and brags.
Trump has been trolling her with a cognitive test challenge. I would prefer an IQ test prefaced with a breathalyzer.
I don't know if she's a psychopath. Strikes me more like an empty suit, someone without any sense of 'self' so without integrity, without an internal compass, an easily controlled. A perfect politician, then.
I don't know how long this has been going on. I have only been fully aware for the past four or five years, but this encapsulates it all:
"It is incentivizing crime by not holding criminals accountable while defunding and disparaging law enforcement. It is claiming to be about love, diversity, inclusion, anti-racism and community, while practicing open racism and hate speech against white people generally but especially white men."
I do feel that kamamala represents clown-world with tremendous (nod to trump) aplomb.
If she’s a psychopath, she’s the dumbest (and luckiest) one ever. To me, it seems her advancement was due to her willingness to seduce powerful men and then leverage her “oppressed class” status to gain power.
Now she just has to seduce the soyboys and gays, while leveraging her oppressed class status, lol. Personally, I don't think she is smart enough to be a straight up psycho. But then, give her time in POTUS, and who knows, she could set a precedent!
Well...YES! I have been saying that to anyone who would listen for at least the past twenty-five years. I saw these things as a girl.
The behavioural pattern seen in personal relationships with Cluster-B personalities is the same behavioural pattern seen between political Psychopaths and the people they are ruling or attempting to rule.
Obvious to me since well before I read the Lobaczewski book. When I did read it, I recognized him as having been a kindred spirit. He knew too!
You see this pattern all over the WOKE-ist/Locusts as well.
And the lockstep manifestations/policies in every country under pathocracy are the manifestations due to Cluster-B Psychopathy. That is why it is as if they are all reading from a manual. Or as if the same brain regions in every Psychopath are infected in the same way.
The left is particularly prone to it because they are basically herd animals. The right less so with cluster-B because we are more individual, though true psychopaths are probably uniform across the political board.
This is a great piece. I appreciate that you're willing to consider my POV, too.
A note important for everyone:
-I think we ( all of us, society) have a definitional problem with the words "psychopath" and "sociopath"
-We think--you think this William, and so do your commenters from what I've read--that there is a consensus, agreed-on definition that distinguishes "psychopath" from "sociopath." Please understand I mean to illustrate a problem, not "gotcha" you.
-This is not true. There is no consensus definition of those terms that is "correct and recognized by everyone." You, and some of your commenters, are writing things like, "I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they're not a psychopath, but a narcissistic sociopath." That assumes that:
a: there is a difference everyone recognizes (not true)
b: that we all agree on the one you're using (we don't)
c: that this is so well-known that we never have to give our definition (not true)
-I have no idea what you, or your commenters, believe is "the difference" between a psychopath and a sociopath. I can detect that you and commenters believe there is a difference, and you believe everyone knows what it is from the way you write, but that's not actually the case.
May I ask you, or your commenters, to specifically, clearly, define those terms?
Again, I'm not saying anyone is globally wrong. But I am saying that it is incorrect to believe that the academy in mental health or societal consensus has a definition of those two words that make them separate and different. It's not the case. The only agreed on term is anti-social personality disorder. Sociopath and psychopath are not defined, universally agreed upon clinical terms.
Why do I go on about this at such length? Because the misunderstanding convinces people who agree that they actually disagree when they don't. I use "psychopath" and "sociopath" as synonyms, for example. No, I'm not "wrong" to do that. It's because they're not stable terms that I disclose my use so that I can be understood.
As sociopath and psychopath, informally, I think of it like initiation, sociopath a degree less than psychopath, not quite but close, though damn near equally as evil? I have not yet finished political ponerology, I think his def is more clear. Otherwise I tend not to use either word very often.
Nice that Josh has joined our side. But I need to remind everyone that there had been some of us pointing out a Cluster-B world for decades. We just didn't do podcasts. What you see in Cluster-B personal relationships is a microcosm of a Pathocracy. Same patterns. I saw that as a girl.
The discovery and validity of an idea is not whether someone has done a podcast on it or not. That was the trouble with the work of Mattias Desmet too. He did the podcast on Mass Formations, but that idea had been out there for over 200 years. It is just that almost no one reads any more. And his work is not really about Mass Formations per se, but about the larger phenomenon. So now everyone thinks that Mattias discovered all of this. Not so.
One has to be a psychopath in order to elevate themselves to a position of *representing masses of people* as their "leader" (other than parents and their children, of course, since parenting is a sacred duty).
What's that line from the old testament? "We are called LEGION, for we are many." The mind of a politician is by definition Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly Multiple Personality Disorder, which is really just being demonically possessed. And I do mean that literally.
I do think she's a terrible person and probably a sociopath. I don't thinknthat makes her unique or even unusual in politics. From where I sit, I can't think of a single national-level politician who I would trust enough to wash my car, let alone run the country. They are consumed by ambition amd greed. Think of the level of indifference to your nation that is required to allow tens of millions of foreigners to invade without even attempting to repel them.
So yes, she's malicious and venal and brutish. But let's not succumb to our own version of TDS by thinking she's uniquely evil.
This is quite the contrast, that appeared today. As ugly as reality can be, I will not mistake a mask for reality.

Pavlovitz is a very, very sick individual.

It really is a smirk. Like, see, I didn't even have to do anything really, to get this far....
Its Duper's Delight. It is the major tell of these psychopaths.
Exactly. Mocking everyone and whatever is left of a democratic process.

I’ll give most of them the benefit of fault, and call them sociopathic narcissists, lol

Trump has been trolling her with a cognitive test challenge. I would prefer an IQ test prefaced with a breathalyzer.
Well, it wasn't that much thought, ha!
Yeah, I suspect she drinky drinky because inferiority. Avaricious is apropos.
Out of her depth. Probably that would mean a psychic breakdown, with the full weight of POTUS.
I don't know if she's a psychopath. Strikes me more like an empty suit, someone without any sense of 'self' so without integrity, without an internal compass, an easily controlled. A perfect politician, then.
Perfect as in the end of American freedom and democracy, lol.

Thank you Josh.

So yes, she's malicious and venal and brutish. But let's not succumb to our own version of TDS by thinking she's uniquely evil.
Right. She is just a bit player, mostly manipulated. The focus is a general sickness affecting many on the left, but not exclusively.
No, just a programmed robot.
Do not really know what a psychopath is… I see in Harris the potential to go off the deep end in anger too quickly.. she is scary.
I think most of the people who are prominent in our current federal government are devoid of morals and guilt.
Worse
