    Covering both the sociopathic dbag bases. Perfect for them.
    NYC and Northern Virginia are sociopathic dbag bases?

          Assuming your comment is serious. NYC and Northern Virginia believe in gun control, appropriate taxes, healthcare, women's right to choose, no tariffs, don't cheat on say everything, aren't racist, and they unquestionably hate Trump. The other half of America is much lower on my list.

            Sociopathic behavior expresses itself in many different ways; they don't have to be political Neanderthals.

            "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

              True. But if we judge say 70%+ of the people out there as a (insert negative stereotype)...don't at some point we become the dbag?

                Sociopathic behavior isn't a guarantee that someone will become a dbag. Some people are that way that go down as great heroes in our history books. (I'm thinking Benjamin Franklin and George S. Patton as two examples.)

                  As a clinic term...but unfortunately, society more frequently uses it in derogatory terms.

                  Sociopaths are people who have little to no conscience. They will lie, cheat, steal and manipulate others for their own benefit. They know exactly what they are doing, they just don't care because they don't think that way. https://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...term=Sociopath

                        There's a study that found many CEOs exhibit sociopathic traits out there somewhere. Doesn't surprise me at all.

                                There needs to be two stories a day like this one and the one with the government going after Floyd Mayweather for failing to disclose he was getting paid to rep a company through his twitter account, until the public rises up and dumps every "influencer" in a hole in the ground and fills it in with dirt.
                                That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
