1. Sociopaths and narcissists

Cant feel empathy and they think nothing is wrong with themselves that they are entitled to fick over people and grab attention they think everyone else is as selfish,cruel,petty and greedy as they are.

They cant imagine anyone caring about anyone elsen just because they have an innate empathy for others..

I think republican party is full of narcissists and sociopaths,look at thier behavior and what they vote for and against. Its always about hurting powerless or marginalized,poor ,disabled ,minorities and gblt people and rewarding themselves and thier "buddies"they admire yet resent secretly and want thier power and money.

They need to read more fiction (and not Ayn Rand); they seem to have undeveloped senses of empathy. They can't imagine that anyone else doesn't see, feel or experience life exactly as they do.

Get the sociopaths out of government. Empathy should be a requirement to run for public office. And a felony free record.
Hell the felony free requirement would get rid of a lot of republican sociopaths rejected from campaigning right there.

and says, “That will never happen to me, so I don’t care.”

A Democrat sees a problem and says,

“That should never happen to ANYONE, and I DO care.”

My favorite explanation of the difference between the two parties.
