In reply to the discussion: Europe is rearming itself. [View all]littlemissmartypants
(31,992 posts)42. Three of every ten people in the US population are psychopaths.
Psychopathy is a very common mental disorder. It is twice as common as schizophrenia, anorexia, and bipolar disorder. It is equally common as bulimia, panic disorder, and autism. The only mental disorders significantly more common than psychopathy are substance abuse or dependence, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Estimates of the prevalence of psychopathy vary depending on the measure used to assess it, and on the population being assessed. Because psychopathy is a spectrum disorder, prevalence estimates also vary depending on the cutoff that researchers use.
Approximately 70% of the population is estimated to have no psychopathic traits whatsoever. The remaining 30% have low, medium, or high levels of psychopathy
Psychopathy affects all ethnic, cultural, racial, and socioeconomic groups.

you seriously don't think he ever read any of Hitler's speeches? Because if nothing else, he knows how to be a demagogue

Not even a single Hardy Boys. I doubt he's even read Goodnight Moon to any of his kids or grandkids.
