But guys, this is what we voted for. There are articles that are coming out now where these podcasters are saying, this isn't what I voted for. I'm sorry. What did you think mass deportations was? This was something that was spoken about every single day. Everybody was in favor of, you know, basically securing our border and cleaning out our country. That's just a very matter of fact way to say it, but we were in favor of this. This was something that Trump talked about on a day to day basis. This is what we voted for.

People with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) may have a limited capacity for empathy and can be more interested in benefiting themselves than avoiding harm to others. They may have no regard for morals, social norms, or the rights of others. People with ASPD can have difficulty beginning or sustaining relationships. It is common for the interpersonal relationships of someone with ASPD to revolve around the exploitation and abuse of others. People with ASPD may display arrogance, think lowly and negatively of others, have limited remorse for their harmful actions, and have a callous attitude toward those they have harmed.

    For added clarity/context, ASPD is roughly the more modern designation for sociopath, a person who is seemingly literally physically incapable of genuine mirror empathy, views all social interactions as a game, everything to them is basically acting, their sense of morality is wholly centered on and only really in reference to themself, Patrick Bateman's mask over almost perfectly nothing.

    They are almost always also malignant narcissists.

    For another high profile example, see Thor/PirateSoftware.

    America is what happens when you let the bullies win, when society is run by sociopaths, and a huge chunk of the population worships them as celebrities or thought leaders or divenely ordained agents of God... and also tries to emulate them, learn from them.
