The Lack Of Human Compassion Is Staggering [View all]

One of the reasons I am a Democrat is that I am a fairly compassionate person and I have always viewed most Republicans as heartless. Trump and his MAGA Gang take this to another level. The lack of human compassion is staggering.

I have come to the conclusion that most of the human problems that we have in the world arises from the number of people that either have sociopathic tendencies or are full blown sociopaths. These people should probably be in secure facilities, not running our government and corporations.

Part of the problem is that these are mostly invisible conditions and are hard to detect in some cases. Periodically we seem to get a grand alliance of these types of people and they start working together. Then we get Fascist Regimes and the like.

If we survive this dark period in history we should probably set our scientists to work on how to stop power seeking sociopaths from ruining our society. Then maybe we would have some peace and sanity and not this madness.
