Trump's cabinet is not just full of yes men and women;

Alomg with Trump, they are sociopaths. Miller, Vought, Noem, Patel, Bondi. It's truly frightening and is not unlike the Nazi hierarchy.

Sociopath is a term used to describe an individual with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). ASPD is a mental health condition characterized by persistent patterns of disregard for societal norms, laws, and the rights of others.

Key Traits of Sociopaths:

Lack of empathy and remorse
Manipulative and deceitful behavior
Impulsivity and aggression
Irresponsibility and disregard for consequences
Difficulty maintaining relationships
Superficial charm and intelligence
Exploitative and parasitic tendencies

They were all nuts and sociopaths inc. their wives.

Exhibit One: Josef Goebbels and his wife decide to poison/kill their six children rather than allow them to survive in a world that is democratic.

And we have been taught for decades to worship and follow such people because they are the pinnacle of our greedy-ass society.

So... ?
