I always wondered what “Charisma” was and believe I have figured it to be the fact a small percentage of the population are sociopaths. They can look you right in the eye and tell a big fat lie with no tells whatsoever. They seem completely lacking in conscience. We love to elect these people into office because they “charm” us… I would go so far as to say you probably need to be a sociopath to be elected to public office based on the way our voting system works… What is it about humans that we want to have these kind of people in charge?
Is it any surprise that a sociopath would behave badly?
