Is this seriously how we are going to choose a president, using a psychopathy scale?

It's a factor in this election. Ignore it at your peril. If I had been thinking about the psychopathy back in 1973 I might have avoided Witness Lee's cult. Psychopathic narcissists like Trump are so fascinating and charismatic. They get away with stuff that other people can't. Like Trump said he could shoot somebody on 5th avenue and his followers wouldn't care. People feel empowered by following them. You've been there, you know what it's like.

Reminds me of the psychopathy checklist they gave to Corporations. When you are operating on a money first motivation that is the recipe for a psychopath.

The corporations have bought the political process. Not voting is one way to discredit this process.
