It's not hard. Plus in social circles, like tends to attract like.

If you’re interested in the information on psychopaths it's in my journal.

If you can't find it, lmk.

It's past time for everyone to learn how to identify them.

They are an enormous danger to civilized society (and themselves, though they rarely pay for and mostly see very little wrong with their evil deeds) and are especially hazardous to our democracy. As they are known to congregate in positions of power.
