In reply to the discussion: Trump and the Unspeakable [View all]H2O Man
(73,505 posts)One of the first things needed is an awareness of what sociopathy is, and the range of sociopaths out there. Even then, many professionals get fooled once. Possibly more. I include myself and a talented co-worker one time. It was the one female that I encountered in forensic work.
Being able to recognize certain traits and behaviors is essential, I think, in both our daily lives, and in the realm of politics. Still, too many people get fooled, even when these traits and behaviors are identified by an expert. I'm thinking of the wonderful book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump," with numerous experts in the field adding contributions. I still think my three-part interview with Dr. Bandy Lee that I posted here in 2020 stands strong. In the first one, we discussed the fact that Trump is a sociopath; in the second, described the nature of his cult; and in the third, predicted the J6 violence.
